TOMMY Robinson came out of prison on fighting form last week. He spoke to Urban Scoop’s Wendell Daniel literally minutes after walking free. We posted the first set of extracts of this ‘Tommy has been freed’ interview yesterday. After the second set of extracts posted below, you can watch Ezra Levant’s Rebel News interview, conducted with Tommy just hours later, on his treatment in prison and more.
‘I’m looking forward to September 13. I’m looking forward to getting back to my family. They know what locking someone up does […] I spent the entirety of that sentence on solitary confinement, against the advice of the medical teams in that prison. Against the advice of independent medical teams that come in. Against all of it. Do you know who’s not in solitary confinement? Axel Rudakubana. Not spent one day on solitary confinement. Salman Abedi’s brother, do you know when that attack happened in Frankland? There were seven of them. Anjem Choudary was one of them. Salman Abedi. Five other jihadists. Three officers. They chased a woman around the pool table stabbing her while shouting “Allahu Akbar”. They then got moved from Frankland and put in here. They have the run. If you could see what’s going on inside these prisons, it’s terrifying. They control every prison in the country. The government doesn’t know what to do.
‘I’ve thanked Elon Musk. There are so many people I need to personally thank. I want to thank the Petersons. I want to thank Tammy, who travelled to this jail but wasn’t allowed in at the same time that they were cancelling all my visits. I’ve got so many personal thank yous to give out. I’ll miss people and I’ll forget people. Ezra Levant – I’m going to see him now. Ezra has continuously had my back. I think everyone needs a friend like Ezra from Rebel Media. He’s continually helped me. He’s helped my family be in contact. Do you know they cut any contact with Ezra? I wasn’t allowed any contact with him in there, because they probably knew that he was the one man that could have helped. And I believe I’d have been out of jail if I’d had direct contact with Ezra Levant.
‘This is the charges they’ve given me for putting me in there. £89,501. There’s a £50,000 here. And then there’s a list. These are what they took, £375 – it’s just – these are the bills – £1,000. Because I have to pay all of their legal costs. All of their legal costs. £5,000. There’s a £20,000. Do you know what it amounts to? It’s f*cking funny. £300,000.
‘So, there you go. You’re back in court – we’re hitting you for £300,000 to send you to jail for a documentary that showed the British public the truth. […] I have zero regrets. I’d do it all again tomorrow. I have absolutely zero regrets because I believe the British public deserve to see the truth. They deserve to see […] the corruption of the establishment and judiciary.
‘[The] purpose of this lawfare, all of it, all of it – which now means I’ll be in court on 5th June, then I’ll be in court, then I’ll have trials – it’s all financial terrorism. It’s to tie you up, to keep you occupied, and to drain you. I’m grateful to every one of you who support me so that I’m in a position to fight these cases, so that I’m in position to legally battle them. And in the court of public opinion, we win every time. It doesn’t matter. I think I’ve been put in this position continuously to help awaken the general public. I’d like to thank the Attorney General, for his continued prosecutions because you’re helping me do my job massively.
‘Do you know my next project, as I come out of here? I’ve just filled out a form. Every 42 days, to hold you in isolation, there’s a thing called the Mandela Rule. They’re not allowed to hold you in solitary confinement for more than 14 days without government approval. So [the form] went to the government, Shabana Mahmood, who’s the Justice Secretary. And every 42 days, it goes back to the government, and they have to authorise your continued segregation because it’s not like an opinion, it factually damages you. So, every 42 days, you have to fill out a form. So, I filled out my forms every 42 days. And I said, “This should be your last resort. This isn’t your last resort.” I’ve done three times as long in there as I would have done as a criminal. The Labour government fought to keep me in there. So, I filled out this form and I’ve said, “This is detrimental to my mental health. This is torture.” And the last form I filled out last week, I said, “I’m out next week,” because I know it’s going straight to Shabana Mahmood. It’s going straight to the Labour Party. I said, “I’m out next week and I’m excited. I’m excited about my next project.”
‘Everyone now knows that the gangs that have targeted our children across this country have been Muslim, and they’ve been predominantly Pakistani. When we’re looking at these problems, we need to look at the common denominator. What’s the other common denominator with these gangs? In every constituency that they raped, it’s Labour. Every single one of them. These are the questions: who allowed it to happen? Why did they allow it to happen? Was it for votes? Did they allow the Muslim community to rape our community, to rape our daughters in every town in city, in their thousands and hundreds of thousands across this country, to keep their block vote? What was the reason?
‘And I’m going to go to Rotherham, Rochdale, Oldham, Newcastle, other cities, into those cities and look at what Labour’s involvement was. We’re going to ask those questions. If you’re a Labour politician, you’re a councillor, if you’ve got dirty hands and you’ve covered it up, me and my cameraman will be doing our next documentary, working title: Labour’s Islamic Rape Gangs. It’s coming soon. As I was filling out that form, I was picturing her face because I think that’s why they stopped me coming out on Friday, probably – I thought, yeah, tick tock, we’re getting back to work.
‘Just a thank you to everyone. You know, the people who emailed me, do you know the moments I had in there, just reading some of their stories, their letters, their birthday cards. I got over 20,000 birthday cards, and I sat there smiling knowing that what they’ve tried to do hasn’t worked – it’s had the opposite effect.’
Following a visit to the barbers, Robinson sat down with Ezra Levant of Rebel News to talk more about his time in jail. You can watch it here.
Editor’s notes:
Tommy has tweeted his September 13 Free Speech Festival on X.
He will be appearing at the Westminster Magistrates Court on June 5, where he’s being charged with harassment, the background to which we reported here.
