Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka the above, lost, his libel case against the Syrian schoolboy after vile false claims he published about him. GOOD. I hope he loses his house like Katy Hopkins. Vile speaders of lies and hatred, both of them. Serve them both right.

It doesn't matter, if it wouldn't be ok to say about someone else on here, why is it ok to say about other people, whoever they are?

There are plenty of people that I think the above about but if I said that about them I'd be banned.

Well you've just revealed your mindset. Who do you want to say bad things about?

I can't think of a time when the outcome of a libel trial has delighted me more.

He's an odious piece of shit.

He is a vile creature with no redeeming features what so ever.

Imagine having to have been the one who gave birth to him. I think I would have to change my name to avoid the association.

2LostSoulsSwimmingInAFishBowl · 22/07/2021 21:30

The news has been one long stream of shit lately. This is news really cheered me up. Apparently he represented himself? Brilliant.

longwayoff · 22/07/2021 21:37

Pull yourself together ChunkySloth. Mr Yaxley-Lennon is an odious creature who would not pause- and hasn't- to speak of many others in the terms you find so offensive. Furthermore, he is of the Free Speech Dont Shut Me Down While I Speak Truth school of thought and has frequently demanded his 'right' to say what he thinks, no matter how painful that may be to the subject of his considered opinion. That, indeed, is why he's going to be short of money in the future. So, in short, if you're going to dish it out you'd better be able to take it. I wish him nothing he wouldn't wish on others. It's a very long list and serves him right.

"Regardless of what you think about him, why is it ok to say these things about him, when it wouldn't be ok to say about someone else? "

Feel free to say it about any other racist culture war stoking cunts 👍👍

Hope he experiences nothing but misery in his life.

IWantAllTheDogsInTheWorld · 22/07/2021 21:58

Sadly, I highly doubt this will touch him, I'm sure his supporters will be organising a collection for him to cover the costs.

@ChunkySloth

Regardless of what you think about him, why is it ok to say these things about him, when it wouldn't be ok to say about someone else? The dribble down his mother's leg? Really?
We are perfectly entitled to say that about a 'man' who has incited such pure hatred and put innocent people's lives in danger.
StoneofDestiny · 22/07/2021 22:19

He's a vile specimen - hope the lad sees the money

EchoNan · 22/07/2021 22:31

Thanks for posting this OP.

He destroyed this young person's name, a refugee from Syria, who was still at school.

The lad was severly assaulted as a result of Robinson's lies. Robinson falsely claiming that the schoolboy was a threat to "English " girls and that he was violet and had threatened to stab people. All untrue. All posted on social media.

All because this young man was a refugee.

Here's a news report for anyone who doesn't know how low Robinson can sink.

longwayoff · 22/07/2021 22:38

Iwantallthedogs I'm hopeful that won't happen, most of his supporters look as if they'd have trouble raising a sum of money as large as would be needed. Maybe Nigel Farage will help out. Not. He's too much for even Farage to bear. He's just a gobby racist thug.

Because the world would be a better place without him!
Sadiecow · 22/07/2021 22:47

I was hot, bothered, stressed, unwell and far too busy today! I was a misery!

But when I read this news story I proper smiled!

Shuffleuplove · 22/07/2021 22:50

The transcripts are good, they’re on the Judiciary website.

How come he represented himself? Where’s his right wing cash backers now?

Off to look at the transcripts thanks Shuffleuplove

Good!
On reading the news earlier I was like "Oh dear, what a shame, never mind."

This news did cheer me up earlier! Fully deserved.

EmeraldShamrock · 23/07/2021 01:55

Great result. People need to see they cannot spread hate and lies freely.

rosalie11 · 23/07/2021 04:59

Tiny robins is a disgusting person

Iflyaway · 23/07/2021 11:02

Just read about this and it has put a spring into my step!

He's such an odious and vile person.

pointythings · 23/07/2021 11:07

Hearing this cheered me up no end yesterday.

ChunkySloth amazingly enough, we have freedom of speech in the UK. So we're allowed to voice our opinions of shitty racist wankbadgers like good old Tommy. As long as we don't libel him, which no-one on here has.

If you don't like it, hide the thread.
