    Never pass up an opportunity to rinse the rubes.

    Makes him sound less posh, took the name of a known football hooligan, and helped hide his previous convictions when he first started becoming prominent including his previous jail time for assaulting an off-duty police officer when he was drunk.

    MSM tow the party line when required?

    Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Well, the Stephen and Lennon sound a bit, you know, Irish-y. Can't have people thinking he has foreign blood from his ancestors when he's full on the grift.

    Now Tommy Robinson, that's a name that Combat 18 and the EDL types can rally around. Proper English name that is. Practically has that fish and chips for tea, bitter ale, coked up racist football hooligan feel to it. Not sure why he went with Tommy instead of Gary, but it works well all the same.

    Not quite. Yaxley-Lennon took the name from Luton football hooligan.

    You asked why he went with Tommy instead of Gary. He did that because Tommy Robinson was the name of a famous Luton football hooligan. As for stephen and Lennon sounding Irish, well that is because his parents are Irish. He has an Irish passport apparently

    It was live when it was recorded.

    Isn't everything?

    Back in court recently, this time as the plaintiff, taking a case against the Daily Mail for rightfully highlighting the fact that he went off on on hollibobs last year during the ''Farage riots'', after helping to kick them off in the first place.

    Did you link the wrong article? That is about him threatening 2 journalists. As is his style.

    Stephen Yaxley-Lennon now suspected to have seriously assaulted someone in a train station in London. SYL was handing out flyers for a free speech protest. Filmed near an unconcious man and started shouting "He f***ing came at me, bruv, He come at me bruv, you saw that."

    Obviously, SYL respects British police and the laws of his own country, which is why he's now fled that country before he could be questioned about what happened.

    Criminal emigrating to another country to escape justice… Hate to see it…

    Its a real issue the anti immigrant/crime group has, finding a leader who ISN'T a criminal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,968 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    I hope he is prosecuted and faces some proper time. He's a public danger in multiple different ways. His fans on here will likely go silent again and pretend this never happened. Similar to that time he falsely accused a man of being a paedophile or that time he harassed a journalist. Or that time he harassed a teenage boy. .

    There'll be a GoFundMe set up any minute to fight the case, which will end up up his nose.

    Nothing shouts innocence quite like a sudden holiday to Tenerife.

    Tommy Robinson has just been arrested at Luton airport trying to get back into England-

    Small matter of assault your honour-



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,948 ✭✭✭Potatoeman


    He was released without charge. It seems that the ‘victim’ attacked him.

    As much as people don’t like him he was one of the only people warning about the grooming gangs in the UK for years. Recently a police man was named, guess his name : Hassan Ali

    Your link doesn't say anything about Tommy Robinson being released without charge. In fact, it doesn't say anything about Tommy Robinson at all.

    However this link says that he's been bailed until 2 September while enquiries continue. That's very different from being released without charge. Where are you getting "released without charge" from?

    And the BBC says nothing about the putative victim of the assault having attacked Robinson. I can't find any reports that the victim has been charged, or even arrested. Where are you getting that from?

    He wasn't. Once the scandal broke, he began pretending to care while doing his best to disrupt the trials.

    Actually he was quite late to the party. The first grooming gang charges were laid in Rotherham in 2009; the first convictions were obtained in 2010; The Times and other newspapers were covering the story intensively from 2011; the trial of the Rochdale child sex abuse ring members was in 2012; by May 2013 550 police officers were involved in investigating further historic grooming gang offences; also in 2013 the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee held hearings into the issue and published a six-volume report; Robinson's first social media comments abaout grooming gangs were posted in August 2014; he didn't speak in public on the matter until November 2014.

    So, contrary to what Potatoeman suggests, Robinson took no interest in the matter until long after the scandal had broken. I'm beginning to suspect that Potatoeman gets his information from some very dodgy sources.

    Despite The Spanish islands people holding protests asking holiday makers not to come over to their islands Tommy went over as a foreigner last week-

    One law for him- looking a different way for others-



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 36,730 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    In the BBC article, it says that Robinson was shown the CCTV footage, that it shows he acted in self-defence, and that no jury in the world would convict him.

    It says that, because it's quoting what Robinson himself said on a video he posted to social media, while also claiming that him immediately leaving the country and flying to Spain was a "pre-booked holiday". Funny how after seemingly being assaulted and acting in self-defence that he didn't even try to report it to the police himself, wait for authorities etc.

    So basically, it's a load of tosh. He's saying he was shown CCTV which proves he was innocent/acting in self-defence and it should be made public, and then when it's not made public or doesn't show what he claims, he'll cry that it's edited or a conspiracy against him.

    can argue with fools on here

    calling him this and that

    is he perfect ? fook no , has he a criminal past ? fook yes

    he was put in prison for a civil offence ( like mcgregor ) who's charge was more serious but Tommy got 9 months for showing a documentary about pakistani grooming gangs , he is the only one with balls who has stood up regarding mass immigration and about muslims

    Panorama tried to bury him , tried to bribe people to say this or that and tommy was secretly recording all this going on and then exposed the presenter for trying to lie to get him charged

    i'm not his biggest fan nor do i agree with his history , he brought all this to the forefront over 10 years ago and its all come true and ireland will be finished unless something is done now and not in 2 years

    1916 lads and ladies be turning in their graves at the state of this country with all these dirty unvetted kiddy fiddlers here

    what will it genuinely take for people to see the issue ? was the poor girl who was stabbed on parnell street 2 years ago not a wake up call ? or will it take a building being blown up because it's comming mark my words this country is doomed

    He's interested in Asian grooming gangs only. He's taken no interest in ordinary, decent white grooming gangs. He seems to find them boring.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,701 ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    It's crazy the depths people go to here to defend the man who used raped children as the base for his grift.

    Not even those within his own EDL group

    https://hopenothate.org.uk/2022/01/11/tommy-robinson-is-a-hypocrite-when-it-comes-to-opposing-child-sexual-exploitation/

    "Notoriously, in June 2010 Lennon’s close friend and ally Richard Price was convicted of making four indecent images of children, and possessing cocaine and crack cocaine. The vile images were found on his computer by police after he was arrested for disturbances at an EDL demonstration.

    Far from condemning Price’s crimes, the EDL launched a campaign for his release. Lennon himself wholeheartedly supported Price, claiming he had been “stitched up” and that “Price has no idea how they were on his computer.” When Lennon’s claims became untenable, he switched positions and finally condemned him.

    On 4 January 2011, six months after the conviction, Lennon released a statement attempting to distance himself and the EDL from Price, falsely claiming that at “no time has pricey ever been a leader of the EDL.” This was a lie, as on 4 June 2010 Lennon himself wrote that “The EDL have only this “Leadership” just for the record ….. Myself […] and Richard Price, we are the earliest founding members.” Lennon first defended a paedophile, and then lied about his association with him to protect his own and the EDL’s reputation."

    He doesn't find them boring, he just doesn't care. Heck, I've seen posters on this site heavily imply that a rape victim was asking for it when the rapist is white.
