TR isn’t a name. It’s a faux populist brand. Having worked in the criminal justice system I noticed that many offenders change their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon has several criminal convictions and currently owes £20 000 to the Court It is important to know who you are dealing with. It is quite common for families to know their children by a middle name rather than their forename as is the case with Boris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendix Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Yaxley-Lennon changed his name to Tommy Robinson after advice by his uncle. The real Tommy Robinson was a notorious Luton Town football hooligan. This is the sort of quality bloke you're dealing with. When Yaxley-Lennon was convicted of using a false passport, it was found that his real passport was in the name of Paul Harris. The man is as dodgy as hell.

Top Cats Hat Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Isn't there already a Tommy Robinson thread? I'd be more interested in hearing the views of some of our more 'right leaning' forum members of facebook's recent ban on extreme nationalist content. As I said earlier, the language used by some posters on here strongly suggest that they are very familiar with some of these groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I'm not racist but .." " ok what race are Muslims then ...?" " Leave means Leave" " PC brigade" " tree huggers" That about covers it in my experience Although there is always the false equivalency argument to justify bad behaviour. " they're all the same" etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just celebrities and criminals though. Thousands of people a day make a change to their name. The vast majority of 230, 000 did so in 2016 (first figures result I found on Google). Most of those were women (que Halibut "oppression of women. Down the patriarchy" *yawn*) Edited March 29, 2019 by Resident Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down the patriarchy" *yawn*) Stephen Yaxley-Lennon has not legally changed his name since he changed it from being plain Stephen Yaxley. The "230 000 who did so in 2016" have and can go about their business quite legally. He is not "Tommy" or "Robinson" until he legally changes his name.
