With Eborn’s incisive questioning, the interview unveils a side of Robinson rarely seen—a father, a fighter, and a man wrestling with the mental scars of incarceration, all while defending his right to speak truth to power.

00:00Nice to meet you.
00:03Good to see you.
00:04It's good.
00:05How does it feel to be out?
00:06It feels good.
00:07If I'm honest, it felt a bit strange.
00:09Even yesterday.
00:10I've just been around.
00:11I've been glued to my son.
00:12Yes!
00:13Sitting there, politely filming.
00:14Probably very tired.
00:15I think I'll be seeing your posts this morning, so you're up at 6.30.
00:19I've got a very special guest.
00:20I'm logged in my room at half four this morning.
00:22I saw the panic attacks going back and forth.
00:27Tell me what it was like from the side.
00:29What was it like?
00:31Long.
00:32Days are long.
00:34A day you can feel, in isolation, a day you can feel like a week.
00:40Essentially, because you're just sat there.
00:42I don't know how to explain it.
00:44And do you know, in prison, prisons are usually loud, boisterous places.
00:49Mine was total silence, because they cleared everywhere.
00:53It was strange, because I just sat in a room all day.
00:56And then they got me out, and walked me across to another unit.
01:01But then I spent two hours until I was there, just on my own again, walking around.
01:06It was just long.
01:07Days were long.
01:08Days were long.
01:09And I guess it was the...
01:11I guess if I'd committed serious crime, I probably wouldn't have felt the resentment I was feeling
01:17sitting there.
01:18I never shouldn't be there.
01:19And I found it totally unfair, in the sense that jihadists, baby killers, Axel Widdicabana, Salman Abdi's brother, are not being held in these conditions.
01:29In fact, there's no one in the British prison system that they're allowed to be held in a surgical trauma.
01:34But yet they thought to have me in a surgical trauma.
01:37And when I looked it all up, because I was in there, that's meant to be the last resort.
01:41Yeah.
01:42Isolation.
01:43There's a 14-day war.
01:44It's called the Mandela.
01:45Yeah.
01:46They just didn't care about any of it.
01:47And it was the government stamping it.
01:48Every 42 days, it was the government, because the prison can't, because of the damage it does.
01:53And my worry and my concern the whole time was what it's going to do.
01:58That's what I was worried about.
01:59Because when I was in last time, I said, oh, I think I went into prison, one person came out another.
02:03And that was from three and a half months, three months in social confinement.
02:06This time, I did have physical exercise.
02:10I was in a better place physically for exercise.
02:14I was so scared and worried about going into prison beforehand.
02:19You were worried about attacks?
02:21No.
02:23Crazily, I've got the documentation.
02:25So when I first meet a psychologist in the prison, I said, I'd rather have a physical fight every day than you mentally break with me.
02:33Because as I said, when I came out of prison last time, I think 2018, for four years, I was damaged.
02:40For years, actually.
02:41I struggled a lot.
02:43So that damage is far different to the fear of having a physical or a patient.
02:49And I said that to the prisoner.
02:51I said, I don't want you to hold me.
02:52I was worried.
02:53Because I'm doing nine months.
02:55Totally in a room of my own for nine months about talking to people, seeing me.
02:59And then just walked me out of the prison door in nine months.
03:02Because I remember last time, I thought, was alright when I walked out?
03:04And then it felt like I hit a brick wall.
03:06I just couldn't interact with the family.
03:08So all those things were worrying me.
03:10So lots of reports about the conditions there.
03:13And the big different ideas is solitary.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Somebody said to me that what you're in is a wing by yourself for your own protection.
03:19Was that right?
03:20So that's what they did.
03:21So, which I didn't want to do.
03:23Which is what, which is the point I could say.
03:25I've not asked you to separate me.
03:27You've brought me, and they said that you're going to be in danger, a serious danger.
03:30I said, of course I'm going to be in serious danger.
03:32You've brought me to a maximum security prison that has 40% of the Muslim population.
03:3650% of them are murderers.
03:37Many are terrorists.
03:38And you've brought me here for a civil offence.
03:41Why am I here?
03:42I said, it's insane.
03:43So for a civil offence, you'd go to a Cadbury deep prison, which there were ones.
03:48We found one called Britannia House that only has 40 prisoners.
03:51Young and Muslim.
03:52So I would have been totally safe there.
03:54You would go out and work every day outside of the prison.
03:57I would go home for five days in a month from a Friday to a Tuesday.
04:00I would work every day outside the custody.
04:02You literally just go back and sleep in the prison.
04:04You have your own key to your room.
04:06That's the facilities I should have been in for the so-called crime.
04:09Let's not call it a crime because it wasn't a crime.
04:10It's not a criminal offence.
04:11It's a civil offence.
04:12Contempt of court, wasn't it?
04:13Contempt of court.
04:14It's a civil offence.
04:15And that was commuted because you basically took down the video.
04:17It was commuted because, yeah, my team.
04:19Well, when I was sentenced, the judge gave me the option in court,
04:23take down a video and I will reduce the sentence.
04:25But I didn't want to take down the video.
04:28I thought I should still have the right to do my jail time and come out
04:32and the video would still be there.
04:34But then they made a decision in court papers four weeks before I was out.
04:38It was section 17 from the three most senior judges in the country
04:42who made the decision that today I walk out of prison,
04:45I'm still committing live contempt.
04:47So the Attorney General, Labour's, Keir Starmer's Attorney General,
04:51was going to re-prosecute me, which would be an all-night two-year prison sentence again.
04:55And then they'd do it again.
04:56So basically I were told, if you do not delete the film,
05:00you're going to face an indefinite prison sentence.
05:02And this is from a country and a politician who sat in the overlap.
05:04He's talking about free speech.
05:06How can you sit and talk about free speech?
05:08Why is no one trying to counter what's in the film that I've released?
05:12I've released the film.
05:13There's lots of facts in it.
05:14There's lots of witness opinions.
05:16As a journalist, I give both sides of the story.
05:18I give people the information to make their own mind up.
05:21What's the problem?
05:22And as they say, the police should be policing our streets, not the tweets.
05:25But they are policing the tweets and they're controlling what everyone's seeing,
05:30hearing, about who, their views.
05:33So.
05:34Yeah, that all makes sense.
05:36Just copy.
05:37I know that you get used to something.
05:38Don't get worried about it.
05:39Knock on the door.
05:40So it's always amazing.
05:41A supporter knock on the door.
05:43They're going to hand some crisps in.
05:45But talking about conditions there, back on solitary,
05:48you had a kettle, you had a telephone, you couldn't get access to emails
05:52and things like that.
05:53So basically now in every person, what they give you, which is new,
05:57is they give you an electrical device where emails come through to it.
06:02So when people email in, every email is monitored and read.
06:05So if you mention anything, for example, I put in one.
06:08I had a friend and I said, ah, we go back.
06:11I was talking to someone in an email.
06:12I said, we go back years to the EDL days and they blocked sending of it.
06:16So then I thought, so I took the word EDL out, tried sending it again.
06:19I said, so, but yeah, everyone has an email.
06:23Everyone has a computer.
06:24Right.
06:25You can have a kettle.
06:26I don't think everyone should have a kettle.
06:28Because so many people.
06:29You heard about what happened.
06:31Yeah.
06:32But that's happening.
06:33I don't think people understand the level it's happening.
06:35In Woodhill on the one day when there was an officer who was stabbed in the head.
06:38Did you see that in the news?
06:39Yeah.
06:40There was three officers attacked just that day.
06:41Right.
06:42Now I spend not much time.
06:44I get walked from A to B.
06:45And obviously I was always asking questions of the staff.
06:48Yeah.
06:49When I was getting walked from A to B in one seven day period.
06:51A female officer had a nose broke.
06:53A male officer lost his teeth.
06:54And a mother officer was attacked by the moor.
06:56That's what I knew about.
06:58Just in my interactions being walked from here to there and listening to the radios.
07:01Right.
07:02So there are, I don't think, I think, you know, when you see servicemen.
07:05Yeah.
07:06I think servicemen should have a round of applause when we check.
07:08People should shake their hands and thank you for their service.
07:10And now I have to take that opinion that that's what people need to be doing when they see prisoners.
07:14And did they treat you well these officers?
07:16They were fabulous.
07:17Right.
07:18There was a problem from the top.
07:19Yeah.
07:20But the individual officers.
07:21What was the problem?
07:22The problem was they messed with everything they could possibly mess with.
07:24So my phones, so, and I've got the paperwork, I'll share.
07:28Yeah.
07:29So I used to get taken at half eight in the morning to a wing, which is where the jihadists,
07:34it's built for the jihadists, but there were no jihadists on that unit.
07:37So it was empty, which is where they took me every day until the Franklin attack.
07:41And then they brought the jihadists there.
07:43But when they took me there, so my phone would go on at 8 to 8.30 in the morning for half hour.
07:49And 11.45 till 12.15 for half hour.
07:52So I had my time slots that they'd turn my phone on because I was on live morning and calling.
07:56And I kept saying, why am I on live morning and calling?
07:58Then, so on the jihadists wing, it's got their phone time.
08:01So I've got the paper.
08:02I took it.
08:03Okay.
08:04Their phone goes around 6 in the morning till 11 PM.
08:06They're not on live morning calls.
08:08So I've got it.
08:09In black and white, Woodhill prison's paperwork for the jihadists wing.
08:12Their phones are on 6 to 11.
08:14My phone gets on for half hour here, half hour there.
08:16And when I'm waiting for those half hours, do you know, as a father, I've got three kids.
08:20Yeah.
08:21And when you're isolated, it may seem mad when the son probably thinks I used to ring him every day.
08:26Right.
08:27Yeah.
08:28But I'd wait for that phone call.
08:29I'd be panicking.
08:30We end up panicking about silly things.
08:32I'm panicking all the time.
08:34If I know they're out at a party that night and I'm waiting from 4 in the morning, just waiting until it gets to 8 o'clock to ring up and just say, are they okay?
08:42Yeah.
08:43And panicking about stuff.
08:44But then they just want to turn it on.
08:46And they've done it so many times.
08:47Was that the hardest bit about being inside, not having contact with your family, the big burden?
08:52No contact, no control.
08:55You could wait all day.
08:56And I know it may not sound like that, but when you're sat, say, I used to get out for the three hours, two and a half hours.
09:02Then I'd sit back in the cell for 21 hours on the blue mat, which is like the bed, until the next morning when I'd do the same.
09:10But when you're doing that, and then I'd wait all day for the phone call, because there was the evening phone time when they put it on at 6 then, I'd wait all day to make a call to my kids.
09:19Right.
09:20And they wouldn't turn the phone.
09:21And I'm ready to explode, because I'm panicking and worrying and wanting to talk to my family.
09:25And then more of the injustice, because I'm thinking, every single prisoner here, in this whole jail, no one's on my morning calls.
09:31The terrorists are on my morning calls.
09:33Why have I got someone sitting listening to every minute in my call?
09:35Why am I at maximum security visiting room?
09:38So in a visit hall, you usually have a big visit hall, and the prison officers are sat 20 metres away over there.
09:45If I had my kids on a visit, two officers have sat there.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Six cameras.
09:51Talk about business, because a number of people who've been on the Andrew Eagle Show, they've talked about going to visit you.
09:56I know we've had Andrew Bridger and Armour, it was Fox, and so on and so forth.
09:59Did they have to sign an NDA?
10:01They made them sign NDAs, then they blocked everyone, literally, she blocked everyone.
10:06They had governor.
10:08They just refused visitors.
10:09And that's the same.
10:10So I'd wait for a visit.
10:11And they'd do it the day before.
10:13So you're waiting, and waiting to see people, and then just, your visit's cancelled.
10:17And then your phone calls cancelled.
10:19And it may not seem like it.
10:21But those little things, when you're isolated anyway, it's a strange thing to explain, I don't know.
10:28The effect of isolation, when I'm panicking, because I can remember last time, the problems I had when I come out.
10:34And it was only then, I think after three, four years of being out, that I found physical exercise in the gym, which I found when I was 18.
10:41But my son's found it, and he's on beast mode already.
10:44There you go.
10:45I taught him that train, train, train.
10:48I'd say to anyone, any problems you have in life will be solved with physical exercise.
10:52And that's what they say, if you go for a walk in the countryside, work on that sort of things.
10:55Nature.
10:56And how are you feeling in yourself now?
10:58I feel, well, I feel strange.
11:01But I would do.
11:02It's all natural.
11:03Last time I didn't expect it.
11:05So, it's a natural effect and consequence.
11:08I've obviously looked into, knew the problems of isolation.
11:11And the injustice of it was talking to the prison.
11:14We're meant to be in an era where mental health matters.
11:17That's all we ever hear about.
11:19Outside independent medical experts come and assess me in prison, and said that the damage
11:25they're doing now, and the mental damage, is going to have a lasting long-term effect
11:31by continually isolating him as a prisoner, and holding it under these conditions.
11:36The prison didn't care.
11:38The government actually blocked any attempt to have me released at the same time as the criminals.
11:42As a civil prisoner, I served three times as long as in prison, so I would have done the
11:46files of criminal.
11:47It was not allowed the 60% off that the Labour government bought in.
11:50So the Labour government bought in a policy that you get 60% off because the prisons are
11:54filled.
11:55So they're opening the doors, letting violent criminals out.
11:57When they first let them out that first time, one went into murder the next day.
12:01So they're opening the doors, letting violent criminals out, to replace them with people
12:04who said mean things on Facebook.
12:06Fill in the prisons with all these people.
12:08But when I go in as a civil offender for playing a field, I put in a maximum security facility,
12:12and they refused to give me 60% off.
12:14So then we went to court and appeal for the verdict.
12:17And usually, if you're in court, that's the police next to you and the Crown Prosecution
12:21Service.
12:22With mine, it was the Attorney General and the Labour government.
12:26So it is political.
12:27There can't be an argument about it.
12:30It's political.
12:31They're there arguing to keep me in prison.
12:34But it's their policy.
12:35I said, you're the ones who bought in the 60%, but you don't want me to have 60%.
12:40And when they say prisons are full, when I got brought in, I had 16 cells where I was
12:46held on my own.
12:47So that's 16 cells I couldn't use.
12:49Then to let me have any sort of exercise, which I had to, because I was a civil prisoner,
12:54to bring me to a unit where I could have exercise.
12:56There was 13 cells there.
12:58So that was kept empty.
13:00Crazy.
13:01I had 40 cells.
13:02For what?
13:03And they were all kept empty.
13:04So it's like, we're letting everyone out, violent criminals.
13:07You don't have spaces, but you're using up 40 cells from me.
13:11And on a prison beam, there's 60 prisoners, and there's three staff.
13:14I had two staff the whole time.
13:16Crazy.
13:17So it's like, it just, none of it made sense.
13:19None of it made sense.
13:20We're going to discuss a lot more about this, I think, because that's, what I love about
13:24this is to give you a chance to send your own voice, not going to take out soundbites
13:27just for the sake of doing it.
13:28If this is the last interview you ever did, what would you like to say to people about
13:33the real Tommy Robinson and how would you like to be remembered?
13:36I'm not perfect.
13:39An average man.
13:41Just honest, in the sense of it, I don't have.
13:46And I say, I've never pretended to be anything I'm not.
13:49I'm a working class kid from Newton Town.
13:51I've seen the problems.
13:52Do you know what I'm guilty of?
13:53Being a decade ahead.
13:54Yeah.
13:55That's it.
13:56I'm guilty of being a decade ahead.
13:58Never believe the media.
14:00They have a narrative to push.
14:01They have an agenda.
14:02The whole reason I was deplatforming the censors is because they don't want you having the
14:05other side of the story.
14:06They actually don't want you being able to make your own mind up.
14:09And this attack on me.
14:10And it's not just on me.
14:11I think when COVID hit, I think people realised people were happy when it was us getting censors.
14:16All of a sudden they started censoring doctors, nurses, medical professionals.
14:21The net just went wider and wider.
14:24You may think you're on the right side of free speech today.
14:26But so long as you allow globalist agendas to dictate what free speech is and corporations
14:33above governments to decide what you can and can't say, whether it be the European Union
14:37or any of these things with their new hate speech policies or whatever they're bringing
14:40in to control the story in the narrative, then you may find yourself, you might think you're
14:45on the right side of free speech now, but at some point you can find yourself on the wrong
14:48side.
14:49And I think free speech, this all comes down to free speech.
14:52It all comes down to their attack to censor me is about censoring you.
14:55Yeah, they may want to attack me, but that's certain you don't get the sort of thing.
14:58And just let the public make their own wonder.
15:01Tommy, welcome out.
15:03No, thanks.
15:04We will continue the conversation.
15:05What shall I put?
15:06That's good.
15:07It's good.
15:10You're welcome.
15:11Yes, you're welcome.
15:12Come on.
15:13Please, go ahead.
15:14Please, go ahead.
15:15Guys, we'll be there with you.
15:16That's good.
15:17That's good.
15:18That's good.
15:19That's good.
15:21That's good.
15:22That's good.
15:24You're welcome.
15:25Have a great evening.
15:27Good to see you.
15:28You're welcome.
