I wonder why Stephen Yaxley-Lennon changed his name to Tommy Robinson.

He wants to sound more “down with the people”? His name sounds v middle class.

I've wondered that as well. Is it because he perceives the fake name as being 'man of the people.' ?

Not me or my people, though. Bleugh.

Can we just not give him any more publicity? Please?

Urgh, just why even give headspace to that oxygen thief?

Tommy Robinson is the name of a Luton football hooligan, part of the MIG (Men In Gear) gang.
Yaxley-Lennon took his name.
Both oxygen thiefs of the highest order.

Ex-MIG, Tommy Robinson (not to be confused with Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the self-styled leader of the English Defence League, who took Robinson's name), has written two books about his experiences with the firm, Mig Down which charts his 25-years in football violence, and Mig Crew about the firm itself.
