Last week, Sharon Osbourne confirmed her attendance at far-right U.K. activist Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” anti-immigration rally next month. This announcement drew significant backlash, including from the U.K. homelessness charity Centrepoint, which has officially cut ties with their former celebrity ambassador.

What Led to Centrepoint Ending Their Relationship with Sharon Osbourne?

As reported by Loudersound, Robinson (whose real name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon) made a social media post last week promoting the May 16th rally at Trafalgar Square in London. According to the U.K. newspaper Metro, the post featured a video in which Robinson stated that the date symbolizes when “Britain rises and reunites,” explaining: “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: “See you at the march.”

As reported by The Guardian last Friday (April 17), Centrepoint announced it would sever ties with Osbourne after she expressed support for Robinson’s far-right rally.

The publication continued:

In response [to Osbourne’s comment on Robinson’s post], Centrepoint, which had recently engaged Osbourne as an ambassador for a campaign, stated: “This sort of event does not align with our values.” They added: “Centrepoint has a proud history of supporting young people whatever their background, ethnicity or religion. If we want young people to thrive in this country then we need to ensure our society continues to allow them to live without fear and able to access the opportunities they need to start education or work and leave homelessness behind.”

However, The Guardian noted that Centrepoint expressed gratitude to Osbourne for her support of its Omaze campaign, which raised funds through entries for a sweepstakes-style draw to win a £5m home overlooking Lake Windermere along with £250,000 in cash.

“While Sharon supported us on this campaign, for which she was referred to as an ambassador as is standard for Omaze prize draws, she is not an official ongoing ambassador of Centrepoint and we have no plans to work together in the future,” Centrepoint elaborated [via The Guardian]:

Loudersound also clarified: “A previous Unite the Kingdom event in 2025 attracted more than 100,000 attendees, with Robinson and Elon Musk among the speakers. There were 25 arrests and 26 police officers were injured.”

As of now, Osbourne has not publicly responded to Centrepoint’s decision and explanation.

Kneecap’s Reaction to Osbourne’s Support of the “Unite the Kingdom” Rally

Naturally, Osbourne’s backing of Robinson’s rally upset many individuals. On April 16, politically outspoken Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap – who have a contentious history with her – retweeted an article about it with the caption: “Fuck@MrsSOsbourne.”

As Loudwire reported at that time, Kneecap used their Coachella 2025 performance to “rail against Israel,” claiming that “the festival had censored their pro-Palestine messages as well as an anti-Margaret Thatcher chant during their performance.” In response, Osbourne expressed her disappointment on social media regarding Coachella providing a platform for such messaging.

Coachella 2025 will be remembered as a festival that compromised its moral and spiritual integrity,” she wrote, adding:

Goldenvoice, the festival organizer, facilitated this by allowing artists to use the Coachella stage as a platform for political expression. . . . Kneecap, an Irish rap group, took their performance to a different level by incorporating aggressive political statements. Their actions included projections of anti-Israel messages and hate speech and this band openly supports terrorist organizations. This behavior raises concerns about the appropriateness of their participation in such a festival and further shows they are booked to play in the USA.

Shortly thereafter, Kneecap responded with co-vocalist Mo Chara telling Rolling Stone: “Her rant has so many holes in it that it hardly warrants a reply but she should listen to ‘War Pigs’ that was written by Black Sabbath (her husband).”

He elaborated:

We believe we have an obligation to use our platform when we can to raise awareness about Palestine. It was important for us to speak out at Coachella as the USA is the main funder and supplier of weapons to Israel as they commit genocide in Gaza. As I said from the stage, “the U.S. government could stop the genocide tomorrow.” It’s important that young Americans hear and know it. . . . People can make their own decisions about whether our message is anti-Israel, but for us, it’s about their government’s sickening actions, not ordinary people. Our message is about ending the genocide and ending the ongoing illegal occupation of Palestine. . . . We want people to take whatever action they can to stop the genocide. Our music’s message is secondary; stopping genocide is more important.

Thus, Kneecap’s retweet mentioned above does not come as a surprise.
