Tommy Robinson has been banned by almost every major social media platform on Earth, and even many right-wing leaders have disavowed his activism. Should free speech be defended even when it’s offensive?

Tommy Robinson – the controversial UK activist and English Defense League founder – has been the subject of countless lawsuits and protests against his alleged anti-Islam and anti-immigration speeches. Robinson, born Stephen Yaxley Lennon, has a criminal record of convictions for assault, falsifying documents, mortgage fraud, and stalking. In June 2024, Robinson was arrested again in Canada.
