So right at the end he admitted there were some racists in the EDL and you decided to make this the commanding headline. Cos obviously you're not massively partisan or anything. And I've been on a counter demo against them.

Odd when you search tommy robinson... this is the 5th vid that pops up. Its from 6 years ago

There are racists in all organisations it doesn't mean that organisation is racist

This was a very positive interview. The interviewer was brilliant, for once he didnt judge Tommy he just let him give his opinion and respected it. The muslim guy was also very good, he also respected Tommy. If more people spoke to each other like this there would be more chance of people uniting together and tackling the problem.

Yeah, that’s why he left the EDL. Jesus, you lot do realise that the whole of the working class online all know that he’s not a liar. We know he exposes the truth that the government doesn’t want exposed. That’s pretty factual.

I was in a mini cab many years ago with a driver who had only been in the country for a couple of months. He told me that earlier he had picked up a couple of young Pakistani males, who had abused him verbally and told him to go back to his own country. The driver was from where? You guessed it...Pakistan

Every group has racist/fascist members.. people are different and have different opinions and beliefs

This is the most positive EDL interview I have ever seen. I am not a supporter of either party here I should note. But if all EDL members shared the views of Tommy Robinson there would be no problem, he just wants to tackle a real problem in his own community and others. His members just jump on the argument to twist it into an anti Islamic argument. Faiz Nadal if I have spelled that correctly is also a brilliant guy. If all Muslims where like this man there would be no problem. A Great debate.

Tommy has said many times that there are racist witting his organisation just as there are racists working all organisations. Also the only thing tommy criticises are certain aspect of Islam. Islam and Muslims are not a race, so it is impossible to be racist towards them

He talks sense... it's about radical sects of Islamic ideology, not individual Muslims. Just like radical Christians, like Westboro Baptist Church. People who take their religious texts in their original form, which don't suit a developed, modern society like Britain today.

What is wrong with saying “one Lee rigby?”

They still accuse him of racism

I'm glad you agree he doesn't display racism in his interviews.

I kinda agree with him, extremist islam is a problem in the UK, and Muslims around the world do, in fact, accept that. The issue really lies in his slip-ups, where he condemns all of Islam. He doesn't mean to do so, but it does end up appearing quite Islamophobic.

When you notice freeze frames in the interview, not that I agree with everything tommy says but cmon after panodrama he has a point about our media being biased

Was tommy still in the edl when this interview took place?

There are racists in every country on this planet right or wrong and this is not going to change and that's the reality whether we like it or not!!...

do you know if its true?,can you send me the youtube link.

To can anyone link to the cricket bat gang attack he discusses

An excellent exchange. Let's hope it gives a basis for progress.

We are NOT FREE... TOMMY IS NOT FREE TO SPEAK AS HE PLEASES IS HE.?.. NOR THE MEDIA ARE THEY..?

Not gunna lie, I quite enjoyed the golfer analogy

OH PLEASE the UK government bends over backward for Muslims and doesn't give a @$%^ about the nonmuslim UK citizens. Tommy, we are praying for you and your family. And all the good people of the UK. (all good people)

This is the best debate I have ever watched. I loved every moment of this video! Very strange title choice though.

Is EDL the amount of GCSE's a person is required to join?

Sensational headline. Seemed like a civil discussion

Anyone who listens to the guy for 5 minutes knows he raises really important discussions - but its near impossible to find him due to censorship these days

You can’t stop people targeting your movement. The fact Tommy didn’t want them there is the more important point surely?

Why can't I see comments?

The title of this movie is strange. There are racist views within every organization. When Tommy says there are racists views he is only being honest. If anyonese is saying there is absolutely no racist views in any organization above 10k members, are lying.

Lets be honest , All Religion is about mind control. From that is derived Power by certain individuals. From the dawn of time this has been the pattern of human behavior. Religion and politics are and have always been close allies . Both being part of the power game. Because man is a conceited creature some of that species are vulnerable to misinformation. It is not enough to accept that life is wonderful for the short time we are here for some people and to make life as pleasant as possible. No some in their arrogance have to impose their will on those of less strength of character and pretend they have divine knowledge. All religion is devisive and to me it all starts with mind manipulation, from that follows control and the natural corollary of that is POWER !

It is SOME! How TF could you leave that out?!

We need a moderate nationalist party.

Every time I'm really angry, bitter, messed up, I watch his videos. Speaks volumes

nice to see the host of the show giving equal speaking time to both guys ,I thought Tommy handled himself very well,the key point I take from this is that with the stand Tommy is making these issues are being discussed which can only be a good thing, multiculturalism has failed ,all we have now is ghettos in Luton London Birmingham etc black and Asian areas which are no go areas for white people,this is England, not Africa,Not Pakistan , its time to think of our children's children b4 its 2 late

U can’t judge someone because of their beliefs or their colour no you can’t that’s unacceptable

The reason this interview is good is because the Muslim speaker is one of the rational and integrated muslims of which there are many and he at least is accepting there is a problem and discussing it. I expected this to be another one where Tommy Robinson was just shouted down and called a racist.

Great great great!!!! This mellow talk was way over due much respect to Stephen and fiyaz

Watching the radio on KZfaq, what a time.

Why am I being recommended a hit piece from 6 years ago when I want a hit piece from this week? KZfaq is bullshit, man.

Let's face it, this has to be the debate of the EDL since it was formed 4 years ago.

Thank you This video helped me to see a few things very clearly 1. Thommy Robinson is NOT a racist 2. the Headline of your Video shows how bad you try to put this man into a bad light I life in Germany and did not heard of him, but thanks to your short video and it’s title I know what’s going on. So: „free Tommy Robinson“ !

Good dialogue between the two of them and well chaired by Mr Ferrari. What I do find misleading is the "Tommy Robinson has admitted for the first time that the English Defence League has racist members." description. He has said this on lots of occasions in the past and added that him and his supporters do all they can to weed them out, just as the Met Police, Trade Unions etc do.

MSM at it best.

Mature debate is incredibly important on subjects such as this. There are prejudice views through all walks of life, culture and religions. A better understanding of each others feelings and social concerns is paramount. I respect some of Tommy Robinsons views but I do find him manipulative and controversial in his style of delivery.....

The crusade never stopped. Bin Laden was fighting the crusaders too, the war never stopped.

I think irony went "whoosh" over your head when you wrote that. LOL!

This was long overdue. Strange choice of title tho but it is eye-catching.

hes actually anti fascist in supporting womens rights and gay rights, the wuhabbi sect of islam opposes women drivers how more far right can you get? and britian is funding these types of islamists in syria , anyone care to explain why? (for israel and saudi arabia perhaps)

If there are no indigenous British, where do think the English (and Welsh, and Scottish, etc.) come from? Outer space?

Why do you assume I'm some kind of National Front person?

Keep it going Tommy , Your doing a sterling job there sir. the real BRITS are behind you . I love your passion for what's right.

Is N G S referring to Tommy as the racist? And as another person has said there are racists in every organisation/party/movement, just look at the Labour Party at the moment. And don't get me started with Mr Jeremy Coburn.

"White, black or Brown.." why does the UK forget about Asians?! The US seems to remember our existence but not so much over here... seriously though talking about equality and diversity and miss a race out... okay...

What a condescending liar. You see it in his face.

so everyone acknowledges there is a problems created by difference of culture or opinions ..... so why invite other cultures into the country if we can't handle the consequences ? seems a pretty stupid move to cause yourself problems it's not as if difference of cultures or opinions is a new thing , i am pretty sure it's been going on for thousands of years , and within these thousands of years ...we still have not learned how to integrate peacefully or have tolerance ..so why do it or subject your culture to ridicule in the first place ? why be surprised or in denial , that a adverse affect will happen , if we couldn't get it right for 1,000's of years then we are not suddenly going to find the answer now the integration of ideals ,opinion , different cultures etc etc ....i personally would viewed through a biologic context , where if introduce a foreign body into a host of different origin , there is a chance of rejection .....and it will cause problems ..only through time , will the foreign body have the chance to integrate , i only live 60-100 years , i couldn't be botherd with making things hard for myself , for the small amount of time i have

No one address about the 2 tier 2 law application and his hurassment. They just ignore that. its a 2v1 here.

WHY HAS "MR ROBINSON" BEEN TURNED DOWN SO QUIET!?

So what is the difference between the hate and ignorance in your heart and the hate and ignorance of an EDL racist???

Hitchens would never stoop to name calling but he's pretty much branded Islam evil as he does Christianity. Anyway I think I know why our opinions differ. I've only seen Robinson in interviews where he purports he doesn't mind muslims he just hates extremism which to me sounds utterly reasonable. You've seen him from the EDL point of view which I haven't. That's why you think he's a racist even though the views he expresses on interviews aren't.

Well done Tommy. Points well made on grooming, terror, Islamism and apostasy.

whoever made the title is a snaky person who knew that is not what Tommy said in the way it looks from the title.

Its norm, every generation will always push agenda of scapegoat. first in Red Indians, Blacks, Jews - now Muslims. I wonder who will be next

Maybe he is doing a bad job, but he isn't a racist. Yes he was a member of the BNP, for one year. He joined because he was disillusioned with the other parties. After finding out the BNP didn't take non-whites he was disgusted and left. Look he's just an average working class guy. He has no education in political organisation and maybe he's leading the EDL poorly. But after listening to his message, i can't call the guy a racist.

Fast forward...Tommy Robinson was found guilty. Thank God I'm an American.

'Our country' made me smile...

Tommy Robinson, a true hero trying to protect the UK from the lies that are being told.

the islamic community needs to do more

looks to me like lbc takes its lessons from cnn....the truth is,,,,tommy being a truthful man admitted that the edl is a group of people and there are many different beliefs within the individuals.

I LOVE how everyone is GETTING the wrong message about Tommy Robinson? lol >,

oki so im born and bred in east london im a brown muslim i have white and black friends etc iv never been to any other country the only country iv spent my entire life is england does this mean im not english? if so then thats like saying the white people in australia are not australians? if you know australian history u know what i mean and if i was talking to you on phone you wouldn't be able to tell if im white or brown

Pub? Oh where millions of people go every week to socialise?

Why can't we just all get along. At the end of the day we r a human race. Celebrate similarities and ignore the differences. We all bleed red. Don't allow the few bad apples to spoil the whole batch.

Well done LBC for setting up a reasonable conversation instead of just hounding Tommy which, is what most debates with Tommy are. The gentleman makes a good point though ie the majority of edl followers are hooligans and Tommy would be better off without their support

England is one of most densely populated countries in the world. UNDERSTAND THAT.

As a white 56 year old from Scotland, all I hear is the Muslim spokesman reading off the same sheet that we get told everyday. We will never get to know or understand being a Muslim ( we actually give women and children their freedom ) ...Great interview and speeches from each other...

Some police, teachers, council workers, MP’s, NHS staff, etc,etc are RACIST but only against one culture that doesn’t want to embrace British values! This problem will NEVER GO AWAY,

I'd better be racist than dead.

Deep, man You must be so proud.

Mr Robinson you are on the ball.

No mention of the MDL tho, (Muslim denfence league).

The people in the church office for Tommy Robinson through fasting and prayer specially fasting and it something that we have to start right away

"has racist members" does not mean that their doctrines are racist, I am sure the conservative party has many racist members but that doesn't mean conservatives are racist

I'm not sure if the second comment is directed at me or just generally. My position on Islam is the same as Sam Harris.

What the hell does he mean schools are removing history lessons about the Holocaust and the Crusades? My brother had a couple of lessons about it a couple of weeks ago. Also I've had a lesson on Islamophobia the day after the Woolwich incident and all the other students say negative things about the EDL and so did the teachers who were english. We all also agreed that it Lee Rigby wasn't killed my Muslims but by psychopaths.

'Melting pot' and 'Integration' sounds a lot like reverse racism. Are these people calling the same for Nigeria? Congo? Japan? Or perhaps the North Sentinel Island? Should we bring them diversity? If not, why not?

and racism in EDL

Most Muslims, Sikhs, Jews, Buddists, Hindus etc have integrated well in Britain and respect the culture. I agree that anyone who wants force their way of living on an entire culture should not have the right to live within that culture (e.g. implementing extreme Islam onto Britain). To say that different cultures cannot live amongst each other is incorrect. Many Muslims have contributed positively to British society, e.g. Mo Farrah. There have also been countless Muslim doctors and scientists.

Tommy's getting alot lot better at speaking.

leaving a country just because someone gets attention in media? Someone who does that obviosly doesn't have real problems.

People listen to what they want to hear

verry intresting, interview was too short.

Musnad Ahmad-Muhammad said: "The whole earth has been shown to me until I saw the east of the east and the west of the west and I saw that the authority of Islam ruled all that I saw."

As disgusting of an act as it may be, I would hate the fact that someone would do this but I would respect their right to do it. Do I want people doing it? No. It represents hatred and stupidity but if you or I were to walk the streets as Hitler or the grand wizard it is your or my right to do so, again as long as you are not hurting anyone or breaking any laws. And as stupid as an example as this might be Prince Harry dressed as a Nazi for a Halloween a few years back (yes he apologized).

First of all, though I did not say this yet, Islam like the other two main religions are not religions of peace. read Surat At - Tawbah verses 5 and 29, where the Quran calls upon the killing of polytheists and "non-believers". also the majority of muslims are racist in 3rd world countries where the stoning of gays are mandated, the murder of muslims who convert to other religions is set by law and jihad is praised. but muslims in civilised countries are not like them, they are mainly peaceful.

Bro read all EDL supporters comments and tell me its not hate ?

Why did you ignore my other comment? I only said 'also you cannot change someone's belief' because you claimed my beliefs were destructive them and you have the right to change them, which you cannot do. That wasn't even my main argument. But since you brought it up, it's ridiculous to say those who have different beliefs should be deported. Everyone has different beliefs, even if they are from the same culture. Some Christians believe that homosexuality is a sin, some don't.

People who dont believe the bible will lie without remorse. Your chances of believing a true Christian is higher than people who dont.

So much ignorance it's unbelievable. In pakistan non muslims & their places of worship are protected under the non-muslim minorities laws. Plenty of churches etc there. Even Sikhs have a shrine in Lahore & it's right next to one of the largest mosques in Pakistan. Incidents to happen at times but it's not like they are targeted as part of a schedule. On another note have a read here on another view of who is up to what: granews.info/content/uk-chickens-come-home-roost-woolwich

"The fact is we have a free society." You keep telling yourself that mate. We have limits on free speech, a mixed economy, some of the strictest gun control laws in the world as well as being one the most surveilled societies on the planet. Unless your a Liberal you will experience people marginalizing and insulting you because It's the only Ideology you are expected to hold and anything less is heresy.
