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.

@ChainJane i’ve read some shite on here but that really is the most shittiest post I have ever seen.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 23/07/2021 12:32

@ChainJane

Why is it OK for people to refer to him as "Stephen Yaxley-Lennon" when he prefers to be known as Tommy Robinson? To me it's the same thing as me deliberately calling a transgender person by their birth name rather than their preferred name for the gender they identify as.

eg I have to say "Caitlyn Jenner" otherwise I'm a bigot and a transphobe. So why is it right to misname Tommy Robinson even if you don't agree with his activism?

Ridiculous Grin

@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?
I think we should all feel free to say what we feel about foul, racist, violent thugs. I doubt they'd weep into their nazi flags and cuddle their weapon of choice for comfort about it anyway.

Because it's his name?

The person found guilty was not Tommy Robinson, it's was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

So please explain why he shouldn't be called that? How does your example have any bearing?

I think it's the ones who always come along to say, 'That's horrid, why can't we just all be niiiiiiiice? You shouldn't say mean things just because you happen to disagree with someone!'
TheVampiresWife · 23/07/2021 12:55

@JesusInTheCabbageVan now now, @ChunkySloth will be upset that you're not being nice to the racist and @ChainJane will be sad that you're, um, using his name Grin

No, but they might do that if they'd been publicly humiliated and bankrupted though Grin I do hope so, anyway.

@TheVampiresWife Grin contemplating changing my username to StephenYaxleyLennonIsAColossalRacistSweatyBallSack and then trying to engage both of them in conversation.

OhGiveUp · 23/07/2021 13:07

I suppose I could say ' Oh, that Mr Stephen Yaxley Lennon, he's a card isn't he, he has such strange misguided ideas, misunderstood really, ever such a nice man you know, loves his old mum and helps old ladies across the road'.
Yeah, they said that about the Krays too!
I'll stand by my initial assessment of him, thank you.
Shame his mother didn't swallow that night then we could have been spared his disgusting racist shit and an innocent young teenagers wouldn't have had a terrible beating for no other reason than the colour of his skin and ethnicity!!

Activism??????

How does being a racist bullying cunt = activist?

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon does nothing for the greater good. He's the equivalent of a sewer rat. Well, perhaps not as it's insulting to rats.

I can't believe that people would vote YABU and post in defence of this piece of shit.

He is not worthy of the oxygen he breathes.

Classica · 23/07/2021 13:13

I was pretty disgusted to see the BBC news website refer to him as an 'anti-islam activist'. As if being a racist thug can be referred to as 'activism'.

Gross.

The BBC reporting is atrocious. They make it sound like a he said/ she said situation, not a series of outright lies.

Jesus I love your choice of MN name, but I think it's beyond the character limit allowed Sad.

AlternativePerspective · 23/07/2021 14:23

This is why I hate the vote on these threads.

Complete cunts vote YABU but don’t have the balls to come on and be recognised as racist cunts. Nobody but a racist twat would defend that arsehole, and that includes people comparing using someon’es birth name instead of their brand name to insulting someone who is trans.

er, the judicial summary from the court calls him Yucky Lemon Yaxley-Lennon

Very true. Islamophobe or racist would have been apt.

AlternativePerspective · 23/07/2021 15:43

I suspect he uses Tommy Robinson for his racist thuggery and then uses Stephen Yaxley-Lennon when he wants to be seen as a good person.

Many people wouldn’t make the connection, so I think that it should be made very clear that “tommy Robinson” is in fact “Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.” Iyswim.
