Tommy Robinson is a journalist, a civil rights activist and a political prisoner. But he has a private life too — he’s the father of three kids. I’ve met them and they’re just wonderful.

But you can imagine how hard it is having Tommy Robinson as your dad. They’ve had to relocate, just to stay safe. They’ve faced threats. And now with Tommy sentenced to a lengthy prison term, they don’t have dad around at all.

I met with Tommy before he was sent to prison and I made him a promise that I’d help his family because Tommy will be away from home for a long time. And though I hate to even say the words, there’s also a risk that Tommy will be harmed in prison, or worse — you know the government would like that.

So I told Tommy that I’d set up a crowdfund for supporters who want to give to a trust fund, set up to take care of the three children. 100% of the proceeds will go to a trust fund for the children. I’m honoured to have made the first donation.

Tommy has made the choice to pay a personal price for his activism. But his whole family pays that price, too — he’ll miss Christmas with them this year, and all three birthdays.

If you love Tommy Robinson and his sacrifice, join me in helping take care of the kids.
