Tommy Robinson: Britain’s 21st century Wat Tyler

YESTERDAY’S Unite The Kingdom protest march and rally was a truly historic event – a people’s revolt led by their folk hero, Tommy Robinson, a 21st century Wat Tyler.

Watching him from the side of the stage, it was hard to believe that just months ago he was in solitary confinement, behind bars, having lost his appeal for release. Yet here he was, unbroken, made stronger by his ordeal, lucid and in command, addressing hundreds of thousands of people – possibly more than a million – who had arrived in central London from all corners of the country to hear him, plus many more watching online from home and from abroad.
