Episode Details

Tommy Robinson, founder of the English Defence League and one of the most deplatformed figures in the Western world, joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to discuss the grooming gang scandal Britain's institutions spent 30 years covering up, and why he believes the full weight of the British state came down on him for refusing to stop talking about it. They examine how political correctness paralyzed police, politicians, and entire cities from protecting children, and why the courts are being used as weapons against populist voices across the West. They also discuss the cultural and spiritual awakening Tommy sees happening across Britain right now, and why he believes the fight for the UK is inseparable from the fight for the West.
