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, Boby’s website claims that he has won 66 out of the 106 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 demographic changes within the UK.
Last year, Boby became a vocal advocate of so-called “remigration”, a euphemistic term for deportations originally associated with Generation Identity. Additionally, he has expressed support for the fascist Homeland Party (a Patriotic Alternative splinter group) and Steve Laws, Homeland’s explicitly ethnonationalist South East Regional Organiser who was previously a “migrant hunter”.
In 2024 he was involved in seven legal cases, claiming wins in four and losses in three. He claims to have helped win cases in Brent, Bexley, Hammersmith and Fulham and Oadby and Wigston.
