He was a co-founder of the Steadfast journal, and became a trustee of the Steadfast Trust, founded in 2005, which describes itself as "the first and only registered charity which undertakes work specifically for the ethnic English community".

In January 2010 he was asked by Andrew Constantine to join the English Independence Party, which Constantine had recently taken control of. Linsell agreed and was installed as Party chairman.

Tony Linsell has written or edited several books. Amongst them are Views from the English Community, which contains writing by himself, T.P. Bragg, Oliver Postgate and others; and Our Englishness, in which seven authors discuss the subject of English identity.
