Summary

Tommy Robinson has been banned by almost every major social media platform on Earth, and even many right-wing leaders have disavowed his activism. Should free speech be defended even when it’s offensive? Tommy Robinson – the controversial UK activist and English Defense League founder – has been the subject of countless lawsuits and protests against his alleged anti-Islam and anti-immigration speeches. Robinson, born Stephen Yaxley Lennon, has a criminal record of convictions for assault, falsifying documents, mortgage fraud, and stalking. In June 2024, Robinson was arrested again in Canada. Follow him at https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra Dr. Harvey Risch is Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology at Yale. He provided testimony to the US Senate regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and has spoken widely about his opposition to masking, vaccine mandates, and the reliability of PCR tests – along with his research on COVID prevention and treatment with existing drugs. Follow him at https://x.com/DrHarveyRisch Jennifer Sey is an author, filmmaker, business executive, and retired artistic gymnast. Jennifer began working at Levi Strauss & Co. in 1999, rising to Chief Marketing Officer and then Global Brand President.

Previously, Jennifer Sey was the 1986 USA Gymnastics National Champion, and a 7-time member of the U.S. Women’s National Team. Sey’s first memoir, “Chalked Up,” was released in 2008.
