The far-right activist known as Tommy Robinson has been arrested by British police on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after a man was allegedly assaulted at a London railway station.
Video from the scene of the alleged assault, which showed a 64-year-old man on the ground, also recorded Robinson appearing to claim he had acted in self-defence.
The injured man was released from hospital on Thursday. Police are understood to be treating him as a victim, not a suspect, at this stage. Police have said he was admitted to hospital “with serious injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening”.
Need to use his real name: Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon
It’s funny how he has no problem in picking a gender-affirming name for himself (his preferred gender being ‘real man’) and gets pissed off when anyone brings up his real name (which reveals his birth gender is ‘cosseted little Fauntleroy’) but, naturally, if a normal person were to try the same thing he’s suddenly against it…
I’m confused. Stephen Christopher is more masculine than Tommy.
In England having a certain sounding name and a hyphen makes it clear he’s not the type of person to have parents that worked with their hands or grandparents.
Neither Yaxley nor Lennon are auspicious names. His mother worked in the Vauxhall Car plant. He has a hyphenated name because his stepfather adopted him.
That explains so much about him.
He literally did not get enough love from his father, that’s why he’s like this.
I think it’s a class thing… i.e. he pretends to be working class, but in reality he’s from a family of posh aristocrats.
At least that’s what I took from the comment, I know next to nothing about the guy.
Oh yeah, the aristocrats with the name “Lennon”…
He’s not posh at all. He stole the name of a football hooligan to make himself seem tough.
in reality he’s from a family of posh aristocrats
To the extent that there are posh aristocrats in Luton. Lower-middle-class social climbers? Yeah, maybe.
He has a hyphenated name. To a certain type of person (him) that is a sign of feminism.
The logic goes something like this, if your name is double-barreled it’s because one of your ancestors possibly your mother didn’t fully take her husband’s family name. In some way that casts aspersions of non-masculinity on the whole family and therefore yourself.
I know it sounds stupid but that’s because these people are utter morons. Trying to actually think down to their level requires several shots of tequila and a mallet to the side of your head.
Exactly. Criminals should not get to hide behind stage names.
That said, they do say his name:
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon
Why do people call him 10 names when I can only get six, his real name plus his pseudonym assuming you count his last name as two names.
He was also convicted of illegally entering the US under the name Andrew McMaster, and has used other names.
Justice for Tommy Robinson!
^by that I mean lock him up and throw away the key^
The fact he was 64, and had a walking stick by all accounts, makes the “he was only defending himself” sound even more stupid.
Does this guy keep getting himself in prison to save on bodyguard costs?
Gotta go to prison to look legit, just like changing your name to something salt of the earth sounding like Tommo Robbo.
Probably IDd the poor guy before attacking him to make sure he was as close to a pensioner as possible without the fear of the headline “Stephen Yaxley-Lennon Claims Self-Defence in Pensioner Attack”
He stole the name from a notorious Luton Town football hooligan.
Tommy Robinson gets paid enough by the Horowitz foundation.
Well if he sought out the robust man-love he so dearly craves any other way it might damage his image, you see.
I feel like he’s one of those people that whenever the police get bored they just go and arrest him, on the very reasonable basis that he’s bound to be guilty of something. And he always is.
