Tommy Robinson was recently banned from Facebook and Instagram, after he exposed BBC Panorama journalist John Sweeney for racism, elitism, and homophobia. BBC journalist Mohammed Shafiq admittedly went to Facebook and Instagram to plead for Tommy's removal from the platform. Since Tommy had already been deplatformed by Twitter and PayPal, his YouTube channel is his primary remaining platform.
Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the English Defence League, is described by his critics as "far right," "racist," and "Islamophobic." He has been targeted by the BBC and the radical leftist organization Hope Not Hate over his stance on Islam, immigration, and Brexit.
