Tommy Robinson backs violent rapist Conor McGregor
Content Note: this article contains an account of sexual assault
Like others on the far right, Tommy Robinson has tried to depict himself as a great defender of British women. As we’ve reported, Robinson’s credentials on this front don’t hold up to scrutiny. This is especially true now that Robinson is throwing his weight behind Conor McGregor, who was found to have raped Nikita Hand in a civil case:
Tommy Robinson has never cared about protecting women and girls. He uses their trauma to push a racist agenda. He doesn’t truly care about rapists. Otherwise, he wouldn’t support rapist like Conor McGregor.

Grim
The rape that McGregor subjected Hand to was incredibly violent. As the BBC reported:
Ms Hand, a mother-of-one, told the court how McGregor had pinned her to a bed before assaulting her.
She was left with extensive bruises and abrasions over her body, including on her hands and wrists.
There was a bloodied scratch on her breast and tenderness on her neck after she said she was placed in a “chokehold” by McGregor.
He denied causing the bruising, saying it could have happened after she “swan dived” into the bath in the hotel room.
Ms Hand was taken in an ambulance to the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin the next day where she was assessed in the sexual assault treatment unit.
A paramedic who examined Ms Hand told the court that she had not seen “someone so bruised” in a long time.
Dr Daniel Kane, a gynaecologist and forensic examiner, told the court how he had to use forceps to remove a tampon Ms Hand said she had been wearing on the night of the assault, which had been “wedged inside”. A paramedic who examined Ms Hand on the day after the alleged attacks said she had not seen a patient as bruised as Ms Hand was in a long time.
As can be seen in his tweet, Robinson is urging McGregor to “lead” Ireland. This isn’t a random request, as McGregor did launch a failed presidential bid in 2025. It’s certainly grim, however, given McGregor’s past. And it makes it abundantly clear that Robinson has zero respect for women.
This isn’t Robinson’s only ongoing controversy either.
Tommy Robinson — at war with his followers
On 16 May, Robinson is throwing another racism festival in the UK. His ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in 2025 saw over 100,000 pissed up gobshites descend on the streets of London. Among the groups speaking were Generation Remigration, who argue that Britain should deport its entire non-white population.
This is the meaning of ‘remigration’, by the way, and it’s something Robinson supports:
He’s 100% correct, the time is now . REMIGRATION https://t.co/jGwMGkz8dF
— Tommy Robinson
There would be no way to enact remigration without violence. The victims of this policy would oppose it, and so would many white British people — namely the ones who are normal about this stuff.
Given this, you can understand why Robinson’s supporters would think violence is the answer to the problems he’s presenting. Robinson, however, is now falling out with those who are demanding that the movement take the next logical step:
STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING!
THE FASH BROMANCE OF THE CENTURY IS ON THE ROCKS! Remember I said after Danny ‘Temu Tommy’ Thomas tried to confront me (& ended up confessing to sexual exploitation Well tragically it’s got worse — . (@LouiseRawAuthor) April 18, 2026
We guess the moral of the story is you shouldn’t talk up violent revolution if you don’t want your revolting supporters to violently revolt.
Summer of scam
If you’re wondering why Tommy Robinson won’t go all the way, it’s because doing so would make it harder for him to constantly rinse his supporters for donations:
Tommy Robinson tells his email list they are "desperately short of funds" for his next event.
A reminder that last time he did this, in the coming weeks his son was bragging on Instagram about flying in private jets and staying in mansions and luxury resorts. pic.twitter.com/ksvQcMMBd0 — Gadget (@Gadget440) April 18, 2026
Robinson has attached himself to more than one scam. The greatest scam of all, however, is the idea that he gives a shit about anyone besides himself.
This is especially true when it comes to women.
