Statement during an interview with BBC News:

“There are women who don’t want to go shopping because there are 20 men in long Islamic dress shouting anti-British stuff and calling for a jihad and stirring up religious and racial hatred. Those are our town centres, and we want them back… We want them back, not from the Muslims, but from the jihadist extremists that are operating in the Muslim communities. And the Muslim communities need to deal with their extremists.”Alex MacDonald, “Who is ‘Tommy Robinson’, the far-right figurehead of Britain’s anti-Muslim riots?,” Middle East Eye, August 5, 2024, https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/uk-who-is-uk-far-right-tommy-robinson.
