🚨🇬🇧 A man in Bolton allegedly tried to burn down the home of a local Imam while his young family were inside. Not shouted abuse. Not a nasty tweet. Not “concerns about immigration.” A man in a motorbike helmet tried to set fire to a Muslim family’s home with children inside. And this is exactly why Tommy Robinson’s rhetoric is so dangerous. When you tell angry crowds that Britain’s towns are being taken over by “Pakistani Muslims,” “race gangs,” and hostile minorities; when you take a murder with no Muslim connection and deliberately drag Muslims into it; when you tell people they are under attack in their own country - you are not “just asking questions.” You are painting a target on innocent people. Tommy Robinson does not need to personally hand someone a petrol can for his rhetoric to matter. This is how incitement works in the real world. You create the enemy. You repeat the lie. You tell people they are victims of a conspiracy. Then some coward in a helmet decides an Imam’s family home is a legitimate target. That is not patriotism. That is fascist politics: collective punishment, racial paranoia, religious hatred, and violence against innocent families for the supposed crimes of people they have never met. If this Bolton attack is confirmed, it should be treated with the full seriousness it deserves: an alleged attempt to burn a Muslim family alive in their own home. And every politician, pundit and “free speech” grifter who has spent years demonising Muslims should be asked one simple question: How many more homes have to burn before you admit what your words are doing?

Tommy Robinson should be arrested for incitement to riot as soon as he enters the country again.
