Tommy Robinson Sinks to New Low With Racist Attack on Schoolchildren in Vile Post on X

Far-right agitator Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has provoked outrage after posting a racist tweet targeting Black and Asian children at Edullect Academy. The school shared a joyful video of pupils inviting the public to their open day. The children’s message was warm and inclusive: “Salam Alaikum, you’re invited… Parents can enjoy a special tour of our classrooms, meet our lovely teachers, and see how we learn… Bring all your families and friends, we can’t wait to welcome you.” Robinson reposted the clip with the caption: “Is this the future you want for your children,” a statement widely condemned as racist and divisive, insinuating that Britain’s multicultural classrooms represent a threat.

The backlash online was immediate and fierce. Thousands of social media users accused Robinson of sinking to a new low by targeting schoolchildren, twisting their innocent invitation into a dog whistle of hate. Supporters of Edullect Academy rallied around the pupils, praising their inclusivity and condemning Robinson’s attempt to weaponize their message. Politicians and campaigners also weighed in, describing the tweet as dangerous and racist, warning that Robinson’s rhetoric fuels division and hostility in society.

Tommy Robinson is a racist scumbag offended by a Black British child saying the Arabic greeting ‘peace be upon you’ in school. @TRobinsonNewEra is proof that speaking English is not a sign of intelligence. https://t.co/cUk8N68QxX

This latest attack follows a disturbing pattern. Earlier this year, Robinson posted a video of Yorkshire musician Olajuwon Ayeni joyfully playing with his white granddaughters in a park. He captioned it with a mocking “Wtf is even going on here?” which sparked racist abuse against the family and left them living in fear. That incident, like the latest one, shows Robinson’s strategy of targeting ordinary families and children to keep himself relevant, feeding hate into his platform whenever public attention wanes.

By turning a school’s open day invitation into a racist provocation, Robinson has demonstrated the depths of his divisive tactics. His latest tweet is more than just another online provocation—it is a direct attack on the values of inclusivity, education, and community. The backlash he faces reflects a growing recognition that his brand of hate is not only toxic but dangerous.
