Why Elon Musk is wrong about Tommy Robinson
The Daily T - A podcast by The Telegraph
Categories:
The far-right activist Tommy Robinson has lost a High Court challenge over the conditions of his imprisonment at HMP Woodhill, with a judge ruling he must stay in isolation for his own safety.One man who has argued for Robinson’s release – wrongly labelling him a political prisoner silenced for exposing the brutality of the Pakistani rape gangs – is billionaire X owner Elon Musk.So how has Robinson found this new following amongst Trump’s “new right” fan base? How has he repositioned himself as the victim of an establishment conspiracy? In this special edition of the Daily T, Camilla goes to Luton in search of the real Tommy Robinson, asking those who’ve worked with him how he has come to be hailed as a folk hero – and where his motivations truly lie.Producer: Georgia CoanPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieStudio Director: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss StudioHosted on Acast.
