In this compelling episode of London Real, host Brian Rose sits down with Tommy Robinson, a controversial figure known for his outspoken views on Islamic extremism and immigration in the UK. Robinson shares his journey from growing up in Luton, a town he describes as a microcosm of Britain's broader issues, to founding the English Defence League (EDL) in response to what he perceived as unchecked extremism and grooming gangs. He discusses his transition from activism to journalism, highlighting his investigative work on grooming gangs and the systemic failures he believes have allowed these issues to persist. Robinson also reflects on the personal costs of his activism, including legal battles, imprisonment, and the impact on his family.

Throughout the conversation, Robinson addresses the challenges of free speech, media bias, and political correctness, arguing that these factors have contributed to a culture of silence around sensitive issues. He shares his experiences with state persecution and media manipulation, including a high-profile confrontation with the BBC's Panorama. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Robinson remains steadfast in his mission to expose what he sees as the truth, calling for a cultural and political awakening in Britain. The episode concludes with Robinson's plans for a large-scale free speech event in London, aimed at uniting people across the UK in a stand against what he perceives as the erosion of British values.
