Tommy Robinson announces plans for a citizen-journalist media platform
A promotional montage on Working Class Patriot combines his court appearance with a media announcement and footage promoting a co-authored book.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 236,036 views a day, 23 times a normal first day on this channel (10,154).
Tommy Robinson, it's only just started.
The message shifts outside court. Tommy Robinson tells reporters he cannot comment, then a separate selfie clip presents his plans for a citizen-journalist media platform.
Working Class Patriot, a clips channel rather than Robinson's own outlet, brings those moments together in "Tommy Robinson, it's only just started." The Short reached roughly 94,000 views in six hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for that format.
Robinson, the far-right activist who co-founded the English Defence League, appears arriving at Southwark Crown Court past police and photographers. Addressing the press afterward, he says: "I'd love to give you my opinion, I'm not allowed to."
The montage then turns from the court appearance to his media plans and a co-authored book. This is a promotional compilation, not a continuous account of the proceedings or a detailed explanation of how the proposed platform would operate.
Other Robinson uploads also drew unusually large audiences on the channel, including "Tommy Robinson speaking outside of Court". The main montage closes with Robinson and supporters performing a synchronized street dance.
British far-right, anti-Islam activist who co-founded the English Defence League and led it from 2009 to 2013.
