Edward Andrew “Coach” Weinhaus opened a LinkedIn message with a chant: “Oyyyyy Tommy Tommy.” He closed with it in capitals: “PS OYYYY TOMMY TOMMY !” In between, he wrote of “my representation of controversial UK free speech advocate Tommy Robinson.”

Robinson’s politics are white supremacist, anti-Black and anti-Muslim. Byline Times examined more than 140 of his racially charged posts from January 2024 to May 2026 and found 43 uses of “invader,” all for non-white people. All eight uses of “African” concerned crime, fraud or violence. Robinson has complained on social media about “the mindset of some black people.” Forty-six posts targeted Black people as a group. Every one vilified them.
He campaigns for “Remigration,” the removal of non-white residents and citizens from Britain, the British-born included.
In February 2025, writing with John Spencer, Weinhaus called for Gaza’s civilian population to be removed, then turned to the civilians who would not leave: “Mice: Hunting the Remnants.”
The Meek and the Patriots
In October 2018, Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee, was fifteen and wearing a cast on his arm. On his school’s playing field in Huddersfield, an older schoolmate grabbed him by the throat, forced him to the ground and poured water over his face. “I’ll drown you,” the boy shouted. Another pupil filmed the attack. Robinson falsely portrayed Hijazi as an aggressor. The resulting abuse drove his family from their home and forced him to abandon his schooling. In 2021, the High Court awarded him £100,000 in libel damages.
In August 2025, Robinson shared a video of Olajuwon Ayeni, a Black grandfather with his white granddaughters in a Redcar park, with his 1.4 million followers. His post fueled racist abuse and threats against the family. Ayeni and his wife said two men confronted them in the street and threatened to “slash you up.”
“Tommy is often lambasted for his views! And boy does that cause the meek to back away. But not the patriots!”

Robinson’s record also includes mortgage fraud: two admitted counts and an eighteen-month prison sentence in January 2014. The judge described a planned operation and found his conduct thoroughly dishonest. Weinhaus turns loyalty to a convicted fraudster into a test of everybody else’s courage.
Robinson’s supporters were sending money as well as praise. At a 2022 High Court hearing, Robinson said he had spent about £100,000 gambling and wasted money on “drink, alcohol, partying” while receiving thousands of pounds in donations from supporters.
In the same LinkedIn message, Weinhaus writes, “One thing you will discover about me is how I yearn to advocate for free speech within the confines of our law - even abroad.”
Robinson repeatedly crossed those “confines.” On October 28, 2024, he was sentenced to eighteen months in prison for contempt of court after admitting ten breaches of the injunction barring him from repeating his false allegations about Hijazi.
He secured release after seven months by prostrating himself before the court: pledging to obey the injunction, deleting his film Silenced from his accounts and seeking removal of other material repeating the smears. The judge found no contrition or remorse, but accepted his commitment to comply and cut four months from his sentence. Robinson was released on May 27, 2025.
“Clean Sweep”
In May 2026, posting footage of riots in The Hague, Robinson wrote of “Millions of parasites that care nothing of our nations” and demanded “Remigration and de-islamisation.”
Weinhaus calls for Palestinians to be removed from Gaza. He describes the civilian population as “the cloak shielding Hamas” and wants a “clean sweep of civilians out of Gaza.”
“Many civilians will not leave,” Weinhaus portends; therefore, “Hunting the Remnants” of these Palestinian “mice” is necessary.
“One doesn’t bring in an elephant to hunt a mouse, but a mouse hunter,” Weinhaus writes. He wants “regional powers and Arab nations” with “the experience of eradicating militant Islamists.” Their assignment is “a house-to-house cleansing operation.”
The Grin
GazaPassage published Christopher Bedell’s interview with Weinhaus on March 23, 2025. Bedell was the group’s spokesperson; Weinhaus its founder and international envoy. Weinhaus said Trump’s policy, “depending on how it has been characterized,” matched GazaPassage’s “exact position.”
Critics on the Israeli right had accused GazaPassage of interfering with military operations. Asked whether they were right, Weinhaus replied: “Probably, but for the wrong reason.” He dismissed the criticism: “No. Still stupid.” He said he and his coauthor “did write an article together on the military genius of Trump’s plan. Basically, I only interfered with their military conduct by seeking to improve it.”
Bedell remarked on Weinhaus’ grin: “There aren’t supposed to be grins that large.”
