Robinson is running as an Independent in the European Parliamentary election. He is an outspoken critic of Islam and has vowed to donate his salary to help victims of grooming gangs if he is elected.
The MDL had heard about his campaign event and encouraged their supporters to attend and throw milkshakes at the candidate.
Massive support by #Oldham Locals and out of Towners 💚Make your way down and stand up against Hate Preachers like Tommy Robinson and the rest! ✊🏽💯
