Tommy Robinson flees UK
- Thread starter Notch7
- Start date
A Canadian pro Zionist You Tube channel called Rebel News had him on the payroll, its owners usually organise a crowd funding campaign to pay his legal fees when he gets into trouble.
Don't know if he still works for them.
His other sources of income are from rich foreigners and donations from poor Brits allegedly.

Exactly
I think you'll find it's something to do with Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being his legal name...
A name that is used when he breaks the law and is arrested, which is quite frequently...
So what point are you making?
Would you prefer that a person's alias is called to account for their crimes?
Not making any point - just an observation.
And your second point probably yes in his case as no one know who the heck SYL is.
Well come on then enlighten us. As you can see from 3 posters Me NMW67 Pete01 we dont know just the same as most of the rest of the county who also dont care.

He took his name of Tommy Robinson from a violent thug who ran the Luton Town football hooligans gang. It was to hide his criminal and extremist background.
Hero worship.

AIUI his mothers 2nd husband "Tommy Lennon" was very caring of him and his mother.
When your young it's not uncommon to hold father figures in high regard.
Also an excerpt from his book "The enemy of the state".
The next name I used was Tommy Robinson, which was another attempt to give
some stick to a bloke with a bit of a reputation. It was the name that stuck
though.
It was the idea of an uncle who influenced me quite a lot when I was younger,
but who has turned into a poisonous and manipulative individual. He has issues, I
know that. And if you’re interested, no, we’re not on talking terms. I think he was
probably jealous of Tommy Robinson, who wrote a football hooligan book called
‘MIG Down’ in 2006.
Tommy Robinson wasn’t his proper name either, but he wrote about me in his
book. I was only young but he said I was a ‘natural born leader’. He used my name
though, Yaxley, which was annoying. It annoyed my mum and my family more. It
would have been nice if he’d asked how I wanted referring to, because he gave the
older MIG blokes different names, but with us youngsters he dropped all of our
real names in. If he’d asked, I’d have opted for Tyrone.
Between the UPL and the EDL, I was basically plucking names out of thin air
and as Tommy Robinson wasn’t a real person anyway, I had a go with that. It
might have only lasted a couple of weeks or a couple of months, but once it got out
there in the public domain and became associated with the EDL, it just stuck. And
that was that.
I should have shown him a bit more respect in hindsight. He looked out for a lot
of us younger lads, back then.
But suddenly I was Tommy Robinson to the outside world and, increasingly,
within my own world. It was 12 months before my real identity was exposed but by
then everyone in the EDL had come to know me as Tommy. To everyone and
almost everywhere, I was Tommy Robinson.

He used/uses his Tommy Robinson persona to hide his actual identity and to shield himself from repressions.Always makes me laugh when lefties call him Stephen Laxly-Lennon I dont get what point they are making its like its some sort of virtue signalling that you dont like him. Trouble is unless you are active and take an interest in these matters then no one knows who you are talking about. Even the lefty BBC call him Tommy Robinson mostly. ------ Cue the lefty debunkers searching the BBC for when they called him by his real name
Why should I allow him to hide from the consequences of his crimes?
Sounds perfectly reasonable-cause of events - can not see why people get themselves bent out of shape about it. People saying he took his name from a football thug- and yet that person does not exist.
If people really want to attack him and so on then why dont they just use Tommy Robinson because no one who his critics are trying to reach knows who SYL is.
Its gone way beyond that - its like people still saying X formerly twitter. Its so well known that Tommy robinson IS his identity - no one cares about the name SYL

Its what I read about it,
The leader of the firm, known to be violent, was known to use the pseudonym before Yaxley-Lennon took it on.

What's Tommy Robinson's real name and why did he change it?Robinson, 41, is actually called Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
However, according to academics that have researched the EDL, he took on a pseudonym to "disguise his previous history of violent behaviour and BNP support".
The pseudonym itself derives from Luton Town Football Club's notorious football firm, Luton Town Men-in-Gear - better known as Luton Town MIGs.
