Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

His name isn't Tommy Robinson, it's Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his parents were themselves immigrants, from Ireland. He's an unavowed racist.

I disagree completely.

Just heard a story that I believe is true but can't confirm 100%. When the paramedic crews arrived at the Arena, a senior officer from NWAS told all the crews that the scene was 'hot', their safety couldn't be guaranteed and that they could wait until told it was safe. Not one waited and they all went in unhesitatingly. The tears welled up in my eyes when I heard that. My pride in the courage of my daughter's paramedic colleagues and friends just couldn't be higher.

Compare that to the bosses of Greater Manchester Fire keeping their firefighters in the station for a good 90 minutes. They all were desperate to go and help but they werent allowed to leave, theres a lot of pissed off firefighters

WTF,why did he change his name? to appear more English or/and working class?

From wikipedia, Yaxley-Lennon uses the alias "Tommy Robinson", taking the name of a prominent member of the "Men In Gear" (MIG) football hooligan crew, which follows Luton Town Football Club.[

I'd guess that was the reason. Apparently the real Tommy Robinson whose name he took was a leading Luton Town hooligan.

Gotta say,he didnt appear racist from the stuff i have seen of him, neither did that Hopkins. Hmm.

Tommy Robinson is a victim of his environment and i can semi understand why he has his views. Hopkins on the other hand is just an attention seeker looking to make as much money as she can.

Hopkins is as you say completely different, she's pure click-bait nothing else.
