“If there was a war tomorrow, I’d be there on the front line, fighting for Israel.” So said Tommy Robinson (real name: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) back in 2019.
‘Tommy’ claims to be a representative of Britain’s ‘silent majority’, rallying against the establishment. It is ironic, then, that a large part of his political platform falls precisely in line with the interests of the British establishment and the ruling class.
Above all, we see this on the question Palestine, which remains the ultimate political litmus test. Tommy Robinson is a proud, open, and rabid Zionist. Last year, he was personally hosted in Tel Aviv, after being invited by an Israeli minister for Netanyahu’s Likud party.
At his previous ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in September 2025, the Zionist sympathies of ‘Tel Aviv Tommy’ were on full display. Israeli flags were interspersed with Union Jacks throughout the march.
And just in case there was any further doubt: Robinson has chosen to host his second ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally, taking place this Saturday in central London, on the anniversary of the Nakba – Israel’s ethnic cleansing of over half a million Palestinians in 1948.
This is a deliberate provocation to the Palestine movement.
For decades, this vile man has promoted Islamophobic and racist bile – now echoed by the rest of the political establishment and media. They use Islamophobia and migrant-bashing to divide, distract, and ultimately demobilise the working class.
Robinson’s political career of thuggery, racism, and violence has gained him various admirers. This includes none other than Epstein himself! The files revealed Epstein’s praise towards Robinson, who said it was “good work” when the latter was released from prison in 2018.
We must tell the truth: some workers have been swept along by this mirage of national chauvinism, racism, and demagogy. There is real insecurity over jobs, housing, and healthcare, which the likes of Robinson are tapping into, while the left leaders are absent. But there is more to say than that.
There are far more workers and young people who are disgusted by Tommy and his ilk. There are far more who hold the Palestinian banner high as their own. There are far more who can see through the lies and deceit of the ruling class, and who want nothing to do with their imperialist wars.
This is the real ‘silent majority’ in Britain: the millions who burn with indignation at the crimes of the Epstein class.
Burn their system down!
Trump’s war on Iran has been a catastrophic failure. Despite the US President’s bluster and theatrics, the facts are facts: the imperialists in Washington have been unable to achieve a single one of their war aims.
This is a massive blow to American imperialism, and to Trump’s authority. As a consequence, the MAGA movement is fracturing. We are living through the beginning of the end of the American Empire. And this will spill into the politics of all countries, as they attempt to re-align themselves.
The barbarity of the ruling class – from the Epstein scandal, to genocide and war – are forging a generation of youth who have nothing but hatred for this system.
Tommy Robinson – by linking up with Israeli politicians, as well as with the richest man in the world, Elon Musk – has shown he is firmly on the side of the system. He too is part of the Epstein class, regardless of his ‘anti-establishment’ posturing.

Trump’s drive to war in the Middle East, alongside the drive to militarism and conscription across Europe, is becoming a weak point for capitalism in the West. An almighty backlash is being prepared.
Palestine was the spark for all accumulated anger brewing in society. The Epstein files and Trump’s wars have poured petrol on the flames. Under this crisis-ridden system, there is no shortage of flammable material to help that fire grow further.
From the US to Britain, the task is the same: we need to organise revolutionary workers and youth into a serious force, aimed at overthrowing the warmongers, racists, and billionaires. We need to burn their system down!
This Saturday, the Revolutionary Communist Party will be organising a Communist bloc at the pro-Palestine, anti-Tommy Robinson demo in London. Get in touch with us to join us on the day!

Bristol Nakba 78 demo: Communist bloc attracts hundreds
Keaton Davies, Bristol
Riding the energy of our Third Congress, the Bristol RCP organised its largest ever intervention at the city’s Nakba 78 demonstration on 9 May.
Upon arriving our banner – saying “Down with the racists and warmongers! Wipe out the Epstein class!” – made a huge splash. Dozens of photographers and attendees rushed to get a photo.

This may have been a Palestine demo, but it was clear the Epstein-focused slogan connected, bringing people towards us to buy our paper and see about getting organised with us.
We drew hundreds behind us as we marched. Our chant of “Keir Starmer, you’re the terrorist” really struck a chord.
When it came to speeches, the best response from the crowd by far was for the only speaker who linked the struggle for Palestine with the struggle against austerity.
This aligned with the perspectives we were putting forward – that these imperialists are our class enemies, who will happily attack the working class at home, whilst aiding genocide and war abroad.
Throughout the day we met many people, burning with anger, who see revolution as the only way to free Palestine. Our task now is to bring them into the party and arm them with the most powerful ideas in the world: the ideas of Marxism.
