Robinson was welcomed at Warsaw airport by Tarczyński, who gave him a banner bearing Polish and British flags and the “United Christian Europe” logo. Robinson previously appeared at the march in 2017.
The activist also launched a “Tommy in Poland” website claiming he was personally invited by Tarczyński, who he cast as defiant of EU pressure, and contrasted this with criticism of “globalist” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Robinson said he would meet “leading Polish politicians,” build ties with Polish counterparts and plan future “Unite The Kingdom” events.
In Poland, Robinson is known to nationalist politicians and media. When he faced legal problems at home, Poland’s far-right Konfederacja party leader and deputy parliament speaker Krzysztof Bosak has portrayed him as a defender of free speech.
On Tuesday, before the Independence Day rally, Robinson met Bosak at the Polish parliament and trailed an interview under the title: “From ‘FASCIST’ to DEPUTY SPEAKER! The Man Media TRIED to DESTROY—Now He RUNS Poland’s Parliament!”
Tarczyński’s “United Christian Europe” branding accompanied Robinson at the march and echoes what he said was a new initiative linking like-minded activists across Europe with radical right and anti-immigration views.
The project deploys Christian symbols—crosses, images of Christ, Catholic prayers and Bible verses—seen at an anti-immigration rally Robinson organized in London in September this year, where participants invoked what they called crusader imagery.
Tarczyński spoke at that London rally, calling to “recover our pure Europe,” urging a hard line on immigration and telling supporters to “send them back”.
Robinson has been repeatedly convicted in Britain, including for assaults, financial fraud, use of a false passport, harassment and defamation, and has served five prison terms since 2005. Major social-media platforms blocked his accounts over incitement against Muslims and hate speech.
In 2021, he faced a defamation case involving a 15-year-old refugee; repeated contempt-of-court rulings; and, after a fatal knife attack in Southport in August 2024, spreading false claims that the assailant was Muslim and urging supporters to “rise up,” which drew accusations of incitement.
Media also reported in 2024 that he owed about GBP 2 million in taxes and was under tax investigation.
In 2025, after another conviction related to defamatory content about a Syrian refugee, he received public backing from Elon Musk, who shared Robinson’s video, called for his release and said he would cover legal costs.
According to media, Robinson is known for his public sympathies for Vladimir Putin, as well as for spreading Russian narratives about the war in Ukraine.
Robinson has also publicly backed Israel’s military actions in Gaza, calling Israel a Western bulwark and pro-Palestinian demonstrations “marches of extremism,” a stance criticized for generalizations about Muslims and ignoring civilian casualties.
