Tommy Robinson denies he incited the British riots that swept the country last weekend, but he has whipped up hate for years.
At the end of June, the Canadian psychology professor and culture warrior Jordan Peterson uploaded the 462th episode of his phenomenally successful podcast . It was called Why the Establishment Hates This Man: Tommy Robinson.
In the film, he repeated false claims that a Syrian refugee boy had regularly attacked white girls in his school before he was water-boarded by another pupil . While people have been naming the EDL as a key player, that organisation no longer exists. What unites the violent protesters are loose online networks, activated by deeply cynical influencers and galvanised by false reports on social media that the person responsible for the stabbings was a Muslim asylum seeker.
People not remotely associated with the far-right, but fans of Peterson, have been recommending the episode. “Just listen to what the man has to say” seems to be the general gist of the recommendation, shaping Robinson as misunderstood and a campaigning journalist denied his freedom of speech.
