Tommy Robinson career
Together with his cousin Kevin Carroll, Tommy Robinson established the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009. He later rose to the position of leader, with Carroll serving as deputy leader. Robinson characterized the EDL as being “against the rise of radical Islam” soon after it was established.
According to a BBC article by Paraic O’Brien, the organization’s members were “loosely affiliated with football hooligan firms” and identified as anti-Islamic. Robinson claimed that on December 22, 2011, he was attacked. He claimed that this happened when he stopped his car because another motorist was flashing its lights at him. Three men then attacked and beat him until a “good Samaritan” arrived to stop them.
On the day of the Cambridge United vs. Luton football game on August 27, 2016, 18 Luton Town football fans, including Robinson and his family, were evicted by police from a Cambridge pub. Under Gerard Batten, he was named a “grooming gang advisor” to UKIP in November 2018.
Following demonstrations in support of Eleanor Williams, a teenager who was charged and ultimately found guilty of perverting the course of justice by fabricating a story about being raped by a grooming group, he travelled to Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, in 2020.
He went to a pro-Israel march in London in May 2021. Robinson was charged with disseminating false information about the person responsible for the mass stabbings of children in Southport after departing the UK for Cyprus in July 2024. Robinson planned to exploit Sikhs, Jews, and Hindus to turn people in the UK against Islam, according to the i website. A co-founder of the English Defense League, Robinson believes Islam is a disease and Muslims are invading Europe.
The convicted criminal and anti-Islam campaigner is believed to have a net worth of between £1million and £2m in 2025.
