Gavin Boby is a planning lawyer and self styled “mosque buster” who founded The Law and Freedom Foundation to prevent planning applications for mosques.

At time of writing, his website claims that has won 60 out of the 99 cases he has taken on. His involvement usually amounts to advising local people on tactics to oppose planning permission or change of use of a building into a place of worship. 

Boby also runs a small YouTube channel where he updates supporters on the progress of his campaigns, as well as discussing a range of issues such as cross-Channel migration, grooming gangs and the demographic changes within the UK.

He is also well connected within the international anti-Muslim movement, having spoke at numerous far-right demonstrations including PEGIDA in Dresden. 

In 2023, he claimed to have been involved in 13 cases, winning seven and losing six.
