Sharon Osbourne has declared she will be attending a Tommy Robinson rally that’s been organised to oppose immigration.
Last year, the far-right activist and founder of the English Defence League organised a Unite the Kingdom rally that saw more than 100,000 people turn out in London.
The event sparked several incidents of violent disorder that also left some police officers injured.
In the months since there have been several more similar rallies organised, with the next set to take place next month.
‘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,’ he said.
He then went on to speak about the Labour Government and how his supporters needed to rally to ‘get rid of the tyrants in power’.
Robinson then claimed they were responsible for ‘open borders, police oppression, corruption in the judiciary and abuse of the British public’.
‘We’ve had enough of it,’ he said, before making several inflammatory and racist remarks.
Robinson said that after the rally in September, ‘the world was watching’ and he wanted to ‘bring London to a total standstill’.
‘They have tried to silence us for decades, but we will be silenced no more,’ he added.
Despite Robinson’s incredibly controversial and provocative comments and claims made in the video, Sharon didn’t seem to care and expressed her support for what he said publicly.
Commenting on the clip, she declared: ‘See you at the march.’
In recent months, the wife of late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy – who died in July last year aged 76 – has become more vocal about her political leanings.
In February, she declared online she wanted to run against a convicted terrorist who is standing for election in Birmingham.
After Shahid Butt – who was jailed in Yemen for his role in a terror plot – was announced to be running to be a local councillor in in Sparkhill in the upcoming May local elections, Osbourne decided to throw her hat in the ring.
‘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,’ Sharon commented on Instagram, since picking up nearly 2,800 likes.
She later added: ‘I’m serious.’
Donaldson, whose video Osbourne responded to, is an ex-British Army soldier who has become a far-right campaigner.
Last year he raised more than £30,000 in donations to help fund an anti-migrant movement calling for people to engage in protests outside every hotel housing asylum seekers ‘until they are all deported’.
In 2021, Osbourne infamously left the US chat show The Talk after a heated on-air debate about racism, in which she defended Piers Morgan over his criticism of a high-profile TV interview given by Meghan Markle.
In the explosive clash with her co-host Sheryl Underwood, Osbourne was accused of giving ‘validation’ to ‘racist’ views.
She then used expletives, raised her voice and demanded that Underwood ‘educate’ her on racism, before telling her ‘not to cry’ when she became emotional.
It also added that Osbourne’s behaviour towards her co-hosts during the episode ‘did not align with our values for a respectful workplace’.
She later described feeling ‘set up’ and like she was a ‘sacrificial lamb’.
Metro has contacted representatives for Sharon Osbourne for comment.
