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".
Far-right figures like Tommy Robinson are vile opportunists: using victims of today's attack to spread their anti-Muslim message.
