Former EDL leader Tommy Robinson arrives at scene of London terror attack

Former EDL leader Tommy Robinson arrived at the scene of the London terror attacks and has been accused of "making everything worse" after he spoke of Islamic extremism.

The motive, race and religion of the attacker have not been confirmed, yet Mr Robinson spoke of Muslims and claimed the country is "at war".

 He said: "This is the reality. The reality is these people are waging war on us.

"This has been going on for 1,400 years and while it's going on the police leaders and the political leaders want to invite more."

Mr Robinson claimed hundreds of "people who have been fighting for Isis" have returned to the UK.

He then accused the Government of "letting [the attack] happen".

The former far-right leader has been accused of "vile opportunism" for using the tragedy to "spread an anti-Muslim message".

 One social media user wrote: "Tommy Robinson thinking about himself and his agenda rather than the victims in the immediate aftermath. Tells you all you need to know."
