YouTube has placed more restrictions around the video channel of English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson.
Clips uploaded by Mr Robinson have been removed from search results and he is blocked from streaming live events via the site.YouTube had already, in January, decided toIt had imposed the further restrictions after talking to external experts and academic researchers about the types of videos shown on the channel,"We are applying a tougher treatment to Tommy Robinson's channel in keeping with our policies on borderline content," it told the news site.
Buzzfeed said the steps taken by YouTube would make Mr Robinson's videos"undiscoverable" unless followers sought them out specifically. The latest action comes after politicians called on YouTube to follow other social media companies in limiting the exposure Mr Robinson enjoyed on their platforms. Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has also had pages on Facebook and Instagram removed.And he is now thought to rely on email and Snapchat to correspond with followers.

hmmm makes me think BBC is also behnd the ban on Tommys public Platforms seeing as they are quick to jump on board the Youtube Ban --- Yes Im pointing the boney finger at you BBC corrupt bastards.
The truth will find other ways to come out. Let's not worry.
BBC IS BIASED MAIN STREAM MEDIA WATCH PANODRAMA
When are people going to do their own research and find out he is not racist and he has never incited anyone to attack Muslims. People who don't understand are the people who follow main stream media and believe every word they say. Snowflakes should stop being told how to think!
the left is leading us to the halal slaughterhouse!
Great news for Tommy Robinson 🤔
Tuurlijk, de mening en constatering van een rechts geluid. Moet door die linkse o.m trutjes verboden worden.
Good.
This is not right. Misguided. Anti-Liberal. Censorship. Shame on YouTube.
Typical EU remember when people feared the queen? Now she’s a rehire head of a dead nation
Can anyone point to anything he's said which warrants a banning from these websites? All I've ever seen him do is criticise Islam which he should be perfectly free to do. We don't live under the law of blasphemy. Or do we?
Racist Robinson.
Free speech and democracy under attack but this will backfire
Looooooool
The mess your government is in. No wonder it wants total control of all media. It won't be long until your mind is under control.
Why ? What exactly has he done wrong ?
Good, then self aggrandising selfish divisive good for nothing
I have never heard him say anything that is RACIST.
Why is this news?
Does anyone have any DIRECT EVIDENCE or PROOF that Tommy Robinson has ever said or broadcasted anything that a LIE?
Awww, is the BBC scared because Tommy exposed you for the frauds you are?!?
If u change the name Tommy Robinson to Nelson Mandela, what would you think. We as a free society must fight this. If we allow this now then whos to say next it will be a rival political party. Debate is how ideas are created, not silence. Free speech is a cornerstone of society
Ask yourselves this. Do you want to live in a country where the government tells you who you can & who you can't listen to, what you can & cant think. Censoring TR is censoring all those who choose to listen. Whatever your thoughts on TR, this is an attack on everyone of us.
2019 is 1984
Scared of him because he speaks the truth. Much love, Tommy ❤️
Join the club.
Freedom of speech 👏🏻
Should just ignore him like everybody else
steph93065 'YouTube restricts Tommy Robinson channel' (at the behest of the BBC no doubt)
Oh you you this, don't you fake BBC.
Alphabet/Google/YouTube: The most innately emasculated company ever.
Just delete it for good👍🏻
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
And yet many terrorists use YouTube to broadcast
JulieDa60926862 Amazing how media continues to allow War criminals on there airwaves killed millions and that’s ok. Sad state of affairs Isn’t it powerful people with money get preference over a laymen. Very concerning!
steph93065 Their actions show how afraid they are of the Right and how they have to restrict and control all forms of media to not allow people to know the Truth. So sad for people that think they are Elite, they have to force their IDEAS that aren't popular thru all means...
Youtube is sh*t.
Who? Oh. Steven Yaxley-Lennon. STOP CALLING HIM TOMMY ROBINSON
Racist pedophiles running Youtube now? PartisanMoralsAreRacist EnoughExcusesTimeForJustice
youtube will at some point regret playing politics
It's about time we restricted the BBC!!!!
The bbc we’re not quick to publish when he caught them out panodrama
BBC restricts telling the truth. BBC now open about being the dedicated news channel for the European Union. BBC now pushing pro-remain agenda only. BBC laughing at the British public paying the licence fee, while promoting the EU over the UK. ditchtvlicence
How come John Sweeney not yet been sacked? panodrama
Restricts freedom of speech. How to make the right stronger. Well done.
So a man shows the public that the BBC, met police, government and media are corrupt time and time again and the ppl want him banned because he is a bad man. Haha you couldn’t make it up.
But if you want to film the stoning to death of a women or decapitation of an infidel that's not a problem...
I'm all for allowing the far right their platforms. Better they do it where we can actually see it and can monitor them. You let extremist groups go underground at your own peril.
Nigel_Farage stand with fascists
The establishment must be absolutely TERRIFIED of this man. Afraid of so many people listening to what he has to say? You should be. People are getting ready to rise up. They're sick of the constant lies & propaganda. They're sick of watching their society being destroyed.
No difference between what Tommy Robinson says and this clip of Sinead O'Connor on Saturday Night Live in 1992. She wasn't exactly demonised for expressing her right to freedom of speech:
Wish someome would ban the BBC
Let YouTube stop Tommy's videos. In end YouTube will be banned under EU laws, because YouTube is racist and allows videos of crimes being committed.
Bad news for free speech and our freedom. We should be asking who's next.
You may not like what he says but he has the RIGHT to free speech even if the establishment do not like what he is saying. What's that old saying the truth hurts....
Utterly discredited BBC BBCPanorama johnsweeneyroar will be thrilled! 🤡 absolutely madness YouTube more censorship
How about Yaxley-Lennon Estate Agents and Mortgage Advisors. Paypal available...oh wait a mo...
Tommy's website is
All his videos can be found on Bitchute forever and ever. His personal URL is Tommyrobinson dot video
The lights are going out , my friends . Evil flourishes under cover of dark . God HELP us !!!!!
Tommy Robinson has never gone into a school to indoctrinate Muslim children about LGBT. He may hate Islam but he does not hate muslims as much as the government does, as the government has attacked muslim parents in Parkfield School.

YouTube By your own admission Tommy has not breeched your TOS. Your actions are cowardly and wrong. Remove these Orwellian restrictions! FreeSpeech TommyRobinson Censorship YouTube
YouTube is cancer and anyone who supports censorship is a colossal fuckwit. Go on tommy!
This Stinks to High Heaven and Obviously has Many Politicians at the Top Scrambling to Suppress Peoples Freedom Of Speach Exposing the Truth on Various Political Situations and Local MPs running for Cover. You Cant Shut Down Peoples Voices Forever
Seriously, people... Anyone calling for a ban on his stuff is dangerously affecting their own freedom as well. You may not like his message, but it's not technically 'hate speech'. Banning it sets a DANGEROUS precedent. The UK is becoming more like 'V for Vendetta' every day.
How is UKIP going to get heir story out now?
Why is antifa left alone? Tommy speaks the truth and the left are scared of what it is!
Hate preacher
You might hate his views, or opinions but censorship isn't the way forward
YouTube really does need to remove Yaxley Lennon’s channel as other society networks have. There is no place for his despicable brand of hatred and intolerance on any social media.
The BBC and reporter Dan Johnson-wrongly-vilified Cliff Richard before his trial... no prison or perverting the course of justice for them? Robinson tells the truth about Muslim pedophiles and is locked up? He was 'silenced' simply because he's Tommy Robinson!
Sounds like free-speech to me
Good, why the hell was he allowed to attend the recent pro-Brexit Demo held on March 29th?
Yet you continue to give him national coverage BBC!
Yaxley-Lennon has a channel? 🤡
And yet it’s still perceived by some leavers as being acceptable to have him at their demo outside parliament last week........
why there's plenty of beheadings and preaching shite on there but you can't remove that because your too scared
Snapchat your turn now!
Should be banned completely
At what point will they understand that they are making him mainstream and doing all his campaigning for him?
Alan40865299 That's great news.
The truth hurts
No free speech allowed
Too late, the country has woken up. First politicians do everything to overturn a democratic vote of the people to leave the EU and now censorship , to someone has working class followers.
Censorship is an act of war on the free people of earth.
Why- is it because he always speaks the truth? Is it because he had more followers than Therea May or main political parties Is this N Korea? Communist dictatorship- no free speech. brokenbritain
meanwhile, the BBC continues to broadcast a 3/4 split of remain vs leave advocates on all channels, while insisting you pay £150 pa. And they legally force you to let a complete stranger into your house like some cheap dictator to check your house. The BBC is utterly detestable.
I met Tony Robinson once at Ten Years of Time Team. Lovely fellow…although i don’t like his politics. AlanPartridge
The people’s hero being shut down by the establishment again. He’ll never be silenced.
Good! About time they dealt with the Nazi.
Why? It was funny watching Robinson making up a fake threatening text message in cahoots with his assistant then watching John Sweeney wave it about like he'd won the lottery after Robinson caught him on camera using the word poofter, calling Irish scum etc 😂
Why🤣🤣🤣🤣
This.
DELETE IT. How hard is that ffs
More censorship.
YouTube is spreading hate and extremism !!!
Censorship.
Quite right. It’s too difficult to defeat the issues he raises with argument so better to shut him up before others start asking the same questions.
Wonder how many people who want him silenced have ever heard anything he's said, it's a little like student protesting benshapiro admitting on camera they know nothing about him but still call him, a Jewish political commentator a Nazi.
Tommy Robinson has odious views. But he should be allowed to communicate them. Worrying levels of censorship in the U.K. at the moment
There's always two sides to a story but don't ever let the great unwashed know.
Ridiculous
All those applauding I guess you are in favour of grooming gangs and paedophiles, do your research properly, let's hope these often organised scum do not target one of you family members
He was right on grooming gangs and was silenced
Love him or hate him, our government creted him...
Unwarranted censorship; always counter productive. It'll simply increase the sense of victimization and increase Tommy Robinson's status as a victim of Establishment persecution.
Genie...bottle....
free speech eh. I don't often agree with Tommy Robinson but he does raise issues that need to be addressed and he exposes the corrupt establishment, hence this harassment. Either you have free speech or you don't. Don't lie about it. PoliceStateUK
Course they do
It just goes from bad to worse for Rangers fans.
Utterly discredited BBC BBCPanorama johnsweeneyroar will be thrilled! 🤡
Should remove it all together, don't need his nonesense messages and bullying tactics to be shared.
of course because an un-regulated biased organisation should be in charge of free speech, what could go wrong with limiting free speech?
If DavidLammy has one I suggest that needs restricting to!👍🏻
So the persecution of one man continues apace. The state are absolutely terrified of the white working classes waking up and finding they have a voice. And it's all good 'three minutes hate' for the Left on social media.
Poor work from the beeb. They didn't remind everyone, that Tommy Robinson isn't his real name and that he was once leader of the EDL. slipping
Isn’t there a law against discriminatory service delivery ?
Dumb.
will he ever be prime minister ?
So much for free speech. If you don't like what he says challenge him and prove him wrong.
It's a start. Took them long enough.
Fantastic that antifa are still out there though😗
People listen to him and the left hate it.
imagine having this short arsed football hooligan as your hero. Imagine being quite that dense.
He's a fucking idiot in my view but we live in world where we should allow people to express their opinions. Restricting opinion and freedom of speech just leads to extremism. Not stop it.
He called it.
Can we restrict him to a padded cell for eternity? The crazed begger.
Yes shut down anyone you disagree with. That'll work well.
Who?
Shouldn’t really have been a choice.
