Sharon Osbourne appears to be planning to attend an anti-immigration protest in London in support of controversial activist Tommy Robinson.
Robinson is a far-right activist known for anti-Islam rhetoric and has faced repeated legal trouble over the years.
Born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, he helped launch the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009. The group promoted the idea that Muslims could not be genuinely English and argued that Islam posed a threat to European values.
He remained the EDL’s leader until 2013.
In May 2025, Robinson was released from prison after spending seven months in custody, having been convicted of contempt of court in the UK.
His imprisonment followed a previous libel case involving Syrian teenager Jamal Hijazi, after a court ordered him to stop repeating allegations about the boy.
One of the allegations claimed the refugee had threatened to stab other students.
Despite the court’s ruling, Robinson continued circulating claims about Hijazi and was subsequently jailed.
Although he received an 18-month sentence, he served around seven months. Later that year, he held a far-right rally in London in September, which was reported to have drawn crowds of up to 150,000 people.
Robinson is now promoting another anti-immigration march, and Osbourne has indicated she intends to show up.
He shared an Instagram video posted via Gauci Reports advertising a May 16 march, describing it as the day that “Britain rises and reunites.”
He said: “It’s the date the world hears our roar, and that we have had enough of migration and mass immigration and the oppression from a tyrannical government.”
Osbourne commented on the post:
“See you at the march.”
Osbourne’s interaction comes after she recently floated the idea of entering local politics in Birmingham.
Back in January, it was announced that Shahid Butt was seeking a seat on Birmingham City Council in elections set to take place in England next month.
The announcement prompted backlash after reports noted that Butt was given a five-year prison sentence by a Yemeni court in 1999, according to GB News.
He was found guilty of conspiring to attack the British consulate in Aden, Yemen.
Responding to Butt’s candidacy, Osbourne said she would consider moving to Birmingham to stand against him, insisting her objections were not race-related.
She said: “This has nothing to do with racism. I think I’m gonna move to Birmingham and put my name down for the ballot to be on the council. I’m serious.”
