Far-right ‘activist’ Tommy Robinson, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been charging followers £28 per minute to hear his thoughts on the ‘Islam invasion’ of Britain.
The 42-year-old, who is on bail after an alleged assault at St Pancras station, is using the app Minnect for mentoring to give tips on anti-Islam ‘activism’.
A reporter, posing as a supporter of Robinson, asked for advice on protesting and anti-Islam activities.
Robinson replied and said: ‘Get active, son … Find some confidence. Maybe investigate the mosques, all these sorts of things, bruv. Look at the funding. Start doing videos talking about it.’
The Times found he’s made at least £9,194 from his videos – and live coaching calls run up a tab of £390 for just fifteen minutes.

Speaking to another supporter, he said: ‘When the first European government attempts mass deportations, they will kick off. Chaos has to come then.
‘We’re in a race against time, all we can do is try and awaken more people with our speech, try and make sure people understand the danger Islam poses.’
Robinson was recently arrested at Luton Airport when his EasyJet flight from Faro, Portugal, landed.
The anti-migration activist had been wanted for questioning after leaving the country for Tenerife following an alleged assault at St Pancras.
Footage previously emerged showing Robinson, 42, walking back and forth by the motionless man on the floor.
In the footage on Monday, Robinson can be heard shouting, ‘he’s come at me’ and ‘you saw him come at me’.
Although he was filmed shouting nearby to the unconscious man, it is not known how the man ended up on the floor motionless.
Robinson, born in Luton, founded the right-wing protest movement known as the English Defence League more than a decade ago.
His first involvement in protesting was as part of the United Peoples of Luton, who came together in response to an Islamist group’s march against the return of British troops from Afghanistan in 2009.
He then went on to form the European Defence League, joining together similar groups to the EDL in various countries.
In 2013, he left the EDL because of his concerns over ‘far-right extremism’.
Then, in 2014, he was locked up for fraud over a mortgage application, and despite being attacked in jail, he claimed to have formed bonds with Muslim inmates.
After coming out of prison and renouncing the tenets of the EDL, he went back to protesting against extreme Islamism with the German group Pegida in 2016.
Since then, he’s been at the forefront of marches against what he calls the ‘invason of Islam’ into Britain.
