Robinson was born and raised in Luton, a town that is a blueprint for the changes happening across the UK. The challenges mass migration and difficulties with integration and assimilation are now being witnessed nationwide. “The British public hadn’t recognized it the way I’d recognized it,” he said, emphasizing that these issues have since become more apparent to many.

“When I was born in 1982, there was one mosque; now there are 45. The entire British Parliament have pandered and cowered in the face of ideologies that wish to destroy this nation.”

Despite the Robinson being labeled as one of the “most hated men in Britain,” he is supported by the general public. “Most places I go, I get loved,” he stated, attributing negative perceptions to media portrayals. He criticized the government and mainstream media for what he sees as failures in handling mass migration and for not addressing ideologies that he believes threaten the nation. Recent events and shifts in the political landscapes across Europe are evidence of a broader awakening. The rise of political figures like Geert Wilders in the Netherlands and the increasing support for parties critical of mass migration are growing across Europe. “Right now, the British public are awakening in a massive way,” says Robinson, suggesting that public opinion is shifting in favor of addressing these concerns more directly.

Robinson's critiques are directed toward extremist ideologies rather than individuals. “I’ve never changed,” he said. “Individual Muslims are not a problem; extremist radicals are a problem.”

The lack of integration and the formation of separate communities within the UK are the fundamental problem of this migration crisis. The migration policies prioritized newcomers over longtime residents of the UK, which has inadvertently led to feelings of disenfranchisement among native Brits. “We are being made to feel like foreigners in our own country,” he remarked.

The UK needs stricter border controls and a campaign of deportations for certain migrants, especially those who disrespect the rule of rule. “It’s our duty as Englishmen to make sure that we hand down a safe and prosperous country to our children,” says Robinson. British cultural identity and values have been undermined for the last few decades.

Free speech and open dialogue address these issues. Censorship and the silencing of dissenters lead to an increase in silent resentment from the native British population. “We need to get organized; we need to unite this nation,” Robinson urged.

While not deeply religious himself, Robinson reflected on the role of religion and cultural heritage. He acknowledged a growing appreciation for Christianity’s influence on British society. The weakening of traditional values has created a void that other ideologies are now replacing.

Robinson urges the British public to take decisive action and encourages others to speak out on these issues. “It’s time to step out of line,” he declared, highlighting his belief that immediate efforts are necessary to preserve the nation’s character and security.
