Appearing on Timcast IRL on Monday evening, Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant discussed Tommy Robinson's ongoing legal battle and why increasing censorship in the U.K. should serve as a warning for Canada and the U.S.

Robinson is currently serving out a nine-month sentence in solitary confinement in the U.K.'s notorious HMP Woodhill prison.

The journalist and activist was sentenced after publishing a documentary exposing the two-tiered justice system and corruption present in the country's law enforcement agencies.

"You're not supposed to spend nine months in solitary, it'll drive you mad, which is what they're trying to do," Ezra explained.

The Rebel News publisher also discussed why increasing censorship in the U.K. is a reminder of what could happen back in Canada and the U.S. if freedoms aren't protected.

"When I go to the U.K., it's like I've got this dystopian time machine, I can see our future if we don't correct the path," he said. "I'd say we're five years down the road from the U.K., and maybe Americans are 10," added Ezra.

The U.K. government, including PM Keir Starmer, has faced criticism over the increasing number of arrests based solely off of 'offensive' social media posts. 

A new study from the U.K. revealed that authorities make an average of 30 arrests per day over alleged offences committed on social media and other online platforms.

Tommy Robinson is enduring brutal, illegal solitary confinement — not for a crime, but for daring to speak out. His persecution exposes a terrifying truth: in the UK today, challenging the government’s narrative can mean prison. This isn’t just about Tommy — it’s about the future of free speech and the rise of a two-tier justice system designed to silence dissent. With the media refusing to tell the truth and Tommy banned from defending himself online, Rebel News is one of the only outlets fighting to expose what’s really happening. If you believe in justice, in truth, and in the right to speak freely, please chip in now to help us cover the costs of reporting from the front lines of Tommy’s case. Every dollar helps us defy censorship and show the world what those in power want to keep hidden.
