He's a Father and Husband, I believe his wife separated from him following awful threats to their children...so for their safety they seperated....If the state can arrest him, they can arrest any of us...Having watched the film about the so called waterboarding incident in a school, of a Syrian refugee child...it seems there is a massive cover up going on....the council allegedly paid 250K hush money to force teachers to sign NDAs.....on the back of the Rotherham grooming scandal this is very strange....anyone else think is state over reach and a massive cover up ?

So he managed to get somebody to marry him and has functioning testicles. Doesn't change the fact that he's a racist prick, though.

@happydappy2 what do you mean ‘if they can arrest him they can arrest any of us’? Last time I checked most of us weren’t inciting racist attacks or fostering domestic terrorists, like your man Stephen Yaxley-Lennon does (just assuming here you don’t realise that he calls himself Tommy Robinson because his real name sounds too posh).

Far right and white supremacist terrorism is growing faster than Islamist terrorism in this country. People like him are significant enablers and radicalisers. Source: my job which includes counter terrorism.

ilovesooty · 28/07/2024 14:02

What proof do you have that the council paid hush money for NDAs?

TooBigForMyBoots · 28/07/2024 14:13

Did you mean to post this in FWR @happydappy2? If so, why?Confused

happydappy2 · 28/07/2024 14:22

Because he's exposing the complete failure of councillors staying quiet about the Rotherham grooming scandal, whilst also allegedly paying off the Head teacher & other teachers, making them sign NDAs, to quash the story of what really happened in that school, with the so called water boarding incident. Safeguarding children is a FWR issue....Just wondered if anyone else had watched the video about the incident & following court case & what they thought.

Claiming that the HT and staff were paid off is a very serious allegation.

feathermucker · 28/07/2024 14:38

He's a husband and a father..........and a massive racist bellend.

He gives no fucks about the welfare of a Syrian refugee child whatsoever. He's a manipulative, lying twat.

TooBigForMyBoots · 28/07/2024 14:38

Safeguarding children is an FWR issue. Defending adult male racists isn't.

Happyher · 28/07/2024 14:38

Yaxley-Lennon incites racial hatred. He may be careful what he says in public but his followers have no problem spouting racist bile and he knows it. He has an Irish passport and lives in Spain. He has no connection with Rotherham and no knowledge of what the authorities are doing about grooming. He just puts a lie out there and his followers lap it up and spread it

vivainsomnia · 28/07/2024 14:41

He lost credibility a long time ago. Maybe he could try staying out of jail for a year, that would be a better start.

What makes you respect this thug?

User135644 · 28/07/2024 14:43

The UK is terrified of Islam.

ButtSurgery · 28/07/2024 14:44

😂😂😂😂😂😂

The man's a right wing loon who preaches British Values with his Irish passport and living in Spain.

See his previous convictions, his name changes, and all the paedophiles he's stood by when they were nice white British men and therefore wrongly accused rather because they weren't forriners.

He's a massive racist grifter. Always has been.

nameynamenamenamename · 28/07/2024 14:45

Pretty sure Osama bin Laden was a husband and father. Didn’t stop him being a terrorist.

And yes, of course the state can arrest any of us. That’s pretty much how it works, that no one should be above the law.

ArseholeCatIsABlackAndWhiteCat · 28/07/2024 14:48

Police saying the pair - who are believed to have been part of the Tommy Robinson protest - had been taken into custody on suspicion of committing grievous bodily harm (GBH).
Four people were arrested outside a pub in Whitehall on suspicion of assault on emergency workers. Four Met officers were assaulted.
One man was also held on suspicion of criminal damage and a racially aggravated public order offence after allegedly snapping a Palestinian flag and making a racially abusive remark, while another was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker after a police officer was kicked, the force said

SnapdragonToadflax · 28/07/2024 14:52

The police can arrest any of us, yes. That's how the law works.

I don't know enough about the case to comment, but anything that keeps Stephen Yaxley-Lennon out of the public eye can only be a good thing.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 28/07/2024 14:54

Generally people who defend odious racist wankers are cut from the same cloth.
or are just lesser spotted goady fuckers

Exposing or just saying it happened. He's inciting racism

StMarieforme · 28/07/2024 15:23

Of course they can arrest any of us. With just cause.
I don't incite racial violence. I don't commit terrorist activities. Or break other laws. So I don't get arrested.

Do you understand how it works now, OP?

blacksax · 28/07/2024 15:23

He's a Father and Husband

So what?

Dontcallmescarface · 28/07/2024 15:34

I believe his wife separated from him following awful threats to their children.

Oh I don't know....maybe his views on women might have had something to do with it.

Why has Tommy Robinson been arrested under anti terrorism laws?
ElleneAsanto · 28/07/2024 15:44

Basically, he was found by an English court to have made false and malicious allegations against a Muslim schoolboy. So he would be in contempt of court if he repeated them. Yesterday in Trafalgar Square he screened a film “Silenced”, which repeated the accusations. He’s been arrested for contempt of court (disrespecting the law).

Is that simple enough for you?

Frith2013 · 28/07/2024 15:47

Good

TakeMe2Insanity · 28/07/2024 15:49

Seriously?

He doesn’t care about the girls that were groomed by gangs, he only cares about the girls that were groomed by Asian men. The man is a vile racist. His followers are equally vile.
