On 11 July 2019, Robinson was jailed for nine months at the Old Bailey. [186] [187] He described the sentence as an "absolute joke" and called for protests. [188] Outside the court, some of his supporters booed and a crowd marched towards the building chanting "we want Tommy out"; some began pelting police with bottles and cans. [189] Robinson had already served 69 days and would be required to serve about another ten weeks. [190] In mid–June Robinson was transferred from HMP Hull to HMP Onley, [157] the prison with the highest Muslim population (30.4%) in the Midlands. [158] Caolan Robertson, then Robinson's cameraman, [159] spread false information substantially exaggerating the Muslim population of a prison to which Robinson was moved. Robertson told the InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that Robinson's new prison was "about 71 per cent Muslim" and therefore "really, really, really disastrous". The former Breitbart editor Raheem Kassam tweeted it to his followers while falsely accusing the Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, of moving Robinson there. [158] A Robinson supporter was subsequently jailed for posing threatening and abusive messages aimed at Javid, relating to Robinson.

Most notable in this regard is the growth of gangs in Luton over the past few decades and the violence they have brought with them. The brutal murder of Mark Sharp in 1995 seemed to make a particularly deep impression on the community, and on Robinson himself. ‘The truth is’, he writes, ‘that by the time the conflict became focused on religion and nationalism, there had been trouble brewing in Luton for many years. That was more about gang territory and activity than any disputes over faith.’ Image Credit: Tommy Robinson, 5th May 2012 ( Youtube)

Enemy of the State is a seriously flawed book in many respects, not least in its handling of the topic of Islam. Nevertheless, it is genuinely important: it constitutes a valuable primary resource on the development of one influential strand of working-class street politics, and provides some answers as to how this kind of politics might develop in the future. Consciously or not, it also raises curious if rather disconcerting questions about how the ethnicity known as ‘White British’ may be fracturing into more unstable elements. Whatever one thinks of its author, this book should be on the reading list of anyone who is concerned about social cohesion in Britain, or simply committed to rerum cognoscere causas.

Something quite odd was going on. Several members of the audience were telling him he was racist and he kept saying 'Please tell me something I've said that's racist'. The response from the audience member was then to simply scream that he was racist as if that meant they'd won the argument. a b c d "Who is Tommy Robinson?
