Stephen Yaxley-Lennon

What background do you want to consider over the fake passport and mortgage fraud, or attacking an off duty police officer who stepped in to stop Yaxley-Lennon assaulting his girlfriend?


Please explain those actions away with "background"...
I'm not even sure why Chippy is seemingly defending him. He said last week that he hardly knew anything about him (a bit odd, considering he's been all over the news on various occasions down the years but hey ho) so why he'd go into bat for someone who has a charge sheet as long as one's arm and not all of his convictions are related to his, cough cough, political views is a bit of a mystery. He's certainly not the kind of hill I'd want to die on. No, not your hill Chippy - Tommy Two Names ;)

I'm not. I've said he's a dodgy character. What's fascinating is that the left on here are so vitriolic about someone who in reality they probably know very little about, other than the bandwaggon they choose to jump on.

And arguably worse, the vitriol aimed at anyone who has a more open mind and who doesn't believe every word written about him by a left-leaning antogonists with their own agenda.

My own view is that he's NOT as bad as people like to make out. Does that make him a saint? No, of course not. But neither the devil incarnate either.

You do not need to be left leaning whatsoever to have a wholly negative opinion of him, Farage being a case in point.

Chippy, just because someone isn't as right-wing as you doesn't make them a lefty and you certainly don't have to be a lefty to dislike Yaxley-Lennon.

Further to that, and to back up my point, one well known poster on here expressed his extreme dislike of Yaxley-Lennon on here last week, and he'll be the first to tell you that his politics are to the right of Thatcher's so how does that make that particular poster left-wing?

Also, you were vocal enough to tell us all during the Brexit debates some years back that there were some very dislikeable characters who were fronting up the Leave campaign. Presumably you meant Farage and Johnson amongst others. So because you criticised them, does that make you left-wing?

Fact is that if someone's a ****, they're a ****, and I think it's safe to say that Yaxley-Lennon is a ****. You don't need to be a lefty to spot that. Just like you don't need to be a lefty to see that Donald Trump is a ****.

So basically you agree with me that he's a racist, violent, con man and are just arguing for the sake of it.


Also it's kind of pathetic to criticise someone for taking things at face value and ignoring background, then when asked for the background just melt away.

The truth is there is no context of background that can justify Yaxley-Lennon's numerous and wide ranging history of criminality, which is why you can't produce any.
 
I thought I’d be shocked there’s people on here STILL defending him. Yet, I’m not really. Sad state of affairs.

An openly violent, racist con man. Bonkers

I find those that I know of who support him are openly violent, scummy and dodgy cunts themselves mate or fancy themselves as some sort of football factory/rise of the footsoldier hard men

But only in the safety of groups
 
No, because I'm not the fanboy of the 4 times convicted violent grifter.

Anyone with enough brain cells to make a sandwich knew exactly who this guy was 15 years ago when jounalists uncovered his real name was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and he'd renamed himself after a football hooligan so people couldn't connect him to his criminal history.

The fact you're still trying to defend him after the multiple convictions for violent attacks (proven beyond reasonable doubt, in multiple courts), the passport fraud, the mortgage fraud, the funding from US right wing billionaires, and the blatant grifting to con people into donating to fund his lifestyle is tragic really.

This is a man who boasted to court about going on a gambling spree before declaring bankruptcy so he could fuck over the people he scammed and avoid paying them.

He is absolute scum of the earth and his supporters fall into 2 categories - too stupid to see it's a grift, and so racist they can look past everything else because he advances their agenda.

Not for me to pass judgment on which category you fall into.

As for the CCTV footage. The British Transport police have no interest in a very public prosecution blowing up in their faces, nor do CPS. Both of those agencies have the CCTV, and most likely it will be Exhibit A when he's prosecuted.


And then he'll be convicted again and you'll claim it's a stitch up, we'll not hear from him for 6-12 months depending on how much money he manages to raise through donations, and then he'll do something criminal again to carry on the con.
Spot on. And the two categories you mentioned aren't mutually exclusive.

I doubt Farage genuinely has that view. Unless you're saying you trust Farage implicitly?

He merely thinks that associating himself in any way with TR is bad for votes. He's demonstrated he's a spineless weasel amongst other things over the past 12 months, dropping principles for political expediency.

And associating with him is bad for votes because.....? A handful of lefties hate him? Or the majority of the country think he's a ****?

I see Chippers is now saying we shouldn’t judge people without understanding/knowing them, and that a media narrative may be being spun that is negative toward them (unfairly)?

Radical stuff, not judging people without knowing facts. And a shocking revelation that the media puts a spin on things? Call me Einstein ;-)

Probably the latter, or else Farage would not be distancing himself from him. But the country think he's a **** because they've been repeatedly told so. I used to think exactly the same... until a couple of months ago, I found out some details about what had happened to him. And then I'm not quite so blinkered or prejudiced. You should try opening your mind rather than blindly following the bandwaggon - it's enlightening.

This latest incident last week is just one classic example of many. "Man defends himself from assault" shocker. But no, it generated umpteen posts on here about TR being spawn of satan again. So another person concludes he's spawn of satan. Rinse and repeat.
