Tommy Robinson inflames white riot as cretins throw Nazi salutes
Henry Nowak’s murder has been used as a wedge to drive racial tensions in the UK, with Tommy Robinson putting himself front and centre.
It started with inflammatory comments from Nigel Farage, which predictably led to yet another race riot.
As anyone could have guessed, Tommy Robinson was on the scene to take what Farage had started and run with it. However, Robinson used the murder to incite hate against a different religious group than the murderer’s own — Muslims.
Massive nosher Tommy Turd Robinson showed up to the minute’s silence for Henry Nowak, wouldn’t shut up throughout the entire thing, then went on a racist rant about Muslims despite Nowak’s killer being a Sikh. https://t.co/lIJm1L1wfX

Tommy Robinson did what Farage wanted
Farage’s intervention followed Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man, being convicted for the murder of Henry Nowak.
Digwa wrongly claimed that he had been the victim of a racialised assault, and responding officers attempted to arrest Nowak as he lay dying.
The police handcuffed Nowak despite the fact that he was laid out and claiming to have been stabbed. As we regularly report, the police in the UK is prone to incompetence, and frequently face accusations of gross incompetence.
In 2025, the Canary covered the following stats:
In the last five years, police forces in the UK have paid nearly £80m in compensation following claims against them. Figures obtained by Public Interest Lawyers found that 47,658 claims have been lodged against police forces since 2019.
…
Examples of claims against the police include malicious prosecution, wrongful arrest, sexual misconduct, assault, traffic accidents, and property damage.
What Farage did was take a textbook example of police incompetence and he turned it into a call for a white uprising.
Sure thing @policylaila. Nigel Farage knew precisely what he was doing, deliberately whipping up fury. It’s also telling that on race relations, he does no work whatsoever. In the fascist tradition, he just makes irresponsible populist comments that only cause hate and fear. https://t.co/hxn6b4Qn6E

It’s important to note, this is something Farage did despite Nowak’s family asking him not to do. And it’s a call Tommy Robinson gladly picked up.
Fash mob
Before the riots, Robinson released a video, shared by Mukhtar, in which he said he’d be turning up to “report” on events. Alarm bells should have begun ringing for anyone watching because Robinson isn’t a journalist; he’s a shit stirrer.
In 2019, the Canary published this about Robinson:
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) encouraged “vigilante action” against defendants in a criminal trial when he filmed them and broadcast the footage on social media, High Court judges have found.
The former English Defence League (EDL) founder was found to have committed contempt of court at the end of a two-day hearing at the Old Bailey.
As Mukhtar highlighted on X, Robinson got rushed to the front of the crowd after arriving.
He initially pretended he didn’t want to speak, saying, “No, I’m fucking not”.
A few seconds later, he was on the microphone claiming that he had predicted Pakistani Muslim gangs would start a race riot.
The riled-up crowds would eventually go into full-on riot mode, with Nazi salutes being thrown freely.

People are referring to the chaos of last night as “Farage’s Riots”.

While it’s correct to call them this, Robinson deserves credit too. The two men keep a distance from one another, but they functionally work as a team.
Farage is the posh boy riling up the masses from the heart of the establishment while Robinson is the thug on the street leading the charge.
