Tommy Robinson: Grooming Gangs, Arrests, & The Cost of Speaking Out | My Price Is My Life Ep #21

In this episode, James O’Keefe sits down with Graham Linehan, the award-winning Irish comedy writer behind Father Ted, Black Books, and The IT Crowd. Once one of the most successful comedy creators in the UK and Ireland, Linehan became a central figure in the public debate over gender identity and women’s rights after speaking out online in the late 2010s. What followed were major public controversies, a police warning after a dispute on social media, and an arrest in 2025 over posts on X that sparked a broader debate about free speech in the UK.   Linehan reflects on the cultural backlash, media narratives, and the personal cost he says came with speaking out, including the impact on his career, relationships, and reputation.   Support Graham Linehan: Substack: https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/ Purchase His Book: Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy https://a.co/d/0gEKt9LF Listen & Subscribe to My Price Is My Life: Website: https://okeefemediagroup.com/category/my-price-is-my-life/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/162FNRzcG3Krog00AFzS8A?si=9b0d2ece9d3741bf Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-price-is-my-life-with-james-okeefe/id1728902125   Thank you to our paid sponsors: American Independence Gold & Impact Health Paid Sponsorships with : American Independence Gold  - Free Extra Gold & Silver with Qualifying Purchases   - Complimentary Secure Safe for Qualified Cash   - A Portion of Every Sale Is Donated To The Tunnels to Towers Foundation Go to: https://OKEEFEMEDIAGOLD.com     Paid Partnerships with: Impact Health Cut your health insurance costs up to 50% with a stable rate you can count on.

In this episode of My Price Is My Life, James O’Keefe sits down with Tommy Robinson, a British activist, online commentator, and former co-founder of the English Defence League. One of the most polarizing figures in modern UK politics, Robinson is described by critics as a far-right, anti-Islam figure, while supporters see him as a free-speech advocate addressing issues they believe others ignore. He discusses his documentary work on grooming-gang cases, his on-the-ground reporting investigating suspicious businesses, and the legal battles that followed — including arrests tied to his social media activity and his high-profile contempt of court case. Robinson reflects on the personal, financial, and reputational cost of speaking out.   Listen & Subscribe to My Price Is My Life –  Website:  https://okeefemediagroup.com/category/my-price-is-my-life/   Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/162FNRzcG3Krog00AFzS8A?si=9b0d2ece9d3741bf    Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-price-is-my-life-with-james-okeefe/id1728902125   Paid Partnerships with:   Impact Health: Cut your health insurance costs up to 50% with a stable rate you can count on.
