CENSORED: Glenn’s interview with UK journalist Tommy Robinson targeted by YouTube

A couple of weeks ago, Glenn Beck had British independent journalist Tommy Robinson on the show. Of course, if you look up Robinson online, he’s not referred to as an independent journalist but rather as an “anti-Islam campaigner” and a “far-right extremist.”

Why such nasty descriptors?

Because Robinson has committed the unforgivable crime of using his so-called freedom of speech to call out a radical leftist government — specifically on the issue of illegal immigration.

When a 17-year-old, who some falsely believed was a Muslim immigrant, stabbed three young girls in the U.K., riots broke out across the nation, and Robinson, due to his outspokenness regarding the U.K.’s crisis at the border, was largely blamed for igniting the conflagration.

And now Glenn is apparently in the crosshairs for merely interviewing Robinson, as his interview with Robinson has been censored.

“YouTube has taken away some of our freedoms ... because we dared to have a newsmaker on,” he says.

Playing a clip of the interview, Glenn proves that Tommy has actually spoken out against the violence that British officials have pinned on him.

When Glenn asked Tommy if he was “calling for the rioting, the burning of buildings, and the bricks through windows,” Robinson responded:

“I made a video, and I've cut together all the things I've said: 'Do not be violent. You're a moron if you're burning things. Put the bricks down. You're ruining everything.' I have appealed for calm, peace, and love from the start of this, but the truth doesn't matter because my name is banned from Facebook; my name is banned from Instagram; I'm banned from TikTok. So they can tell the public whatever they want, and they're currently saying that I am the instigator of all this violence.”

According to Glenn, the reason the interview has been censored is because “YouTube is taking their marching orders from the European Union.”

“We now all have to comply with Europe’s standards,” despite the fact that YouTube is an American company.

The message Glenn received from YouTube following the censoring of the video stated: “YouTube doesn’t allow hate speech, and in some cases, content that is potentially controversial or offensive. It may remain up, but with some features disabled.”

Not only can you not share the video, read the comments, or make a comment, but the video itself cannot be accessed via the Blaze Media article that addressed the interview.

“This is a digital ghetto,” Glenn condemns. “YouTube, telling the truth is not inciting violence. Telling the truth is not controversial, and if it’s offensive, get over it.”

‘I’m TERRIFIED’: Tommy Robinson responds after UK elites suggest he caused riots

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=53133435&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,0 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D53133435%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C0%22%7D" expand=1]

Protests and riots have taken over the United Kingdom after a 17-year-old, who some falsely believed was a Muslim immigrant, stabbed three young girls.

Of course, the opportunity to smear protesters as “far-right extremists” was too tempting for the media and leftist government to ignore. Now, the U.K.’s new prime minister has vowed to arrest those involved.

“Those that have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law. The police will be making arrests, individuals will be held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow,” the prime minister said, adding, “I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly, or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves.”

Independent journalist Tommy Robinson tells Glenn Beck that he’s terrified — as that statement was directed at him.

Glenn, not shocked that Robinson is being unfairly treated by a tyrannical leftist government, knows that he’s “just trying to tell the truth.”

And according to Robinson, Glenn is right.

“I know their opinion on freedom of speech, I know the tyrannical mindset of them and I know that when he says ‘whipping up,’ what he means is reporting the reality and the truth to the public,” Robinson tells Glenn.

“They’re not talking about people breaking laws, they’re talking about people giving opinions. People giving facts. Facts have become ‘hate’ to governments who don’t want the truth to go to the public,” he adds.

Robinson has been making documentaries regarding the U.K.’s own crisis at the border and the influx of immigrants in his home.

“They are problems that the government wish to hide, because they’re due to their policy failures. So rather than deal with the problems, they deal with the people talking about the problems. And that’s been my life story for the last 15 years,” he tells Glenn.

Robinson is currently facing two years in prison for a documentary he made.

“There’s nothing that’s not true in the documentary, it’s all covert recordings. But to prevent the public seeing the film, they took me through the courts and they gave me an injunction preventing me from ever airing the evidence,” he explains, noting that he played the film at a rally anyways, which has now been viewed by 34 million people.

“This is why they’re trying to frame me as being involved in these riots, because the film is far bigger than Tommy Robinson,” he adds.
