    Now this is just an observation but the people who insist on calling him Stephen Yaxley-Lennon are the exact same folks who'd get their knickers in a bunch if you called Kaitlyn Jenner by the old name Bruce.

    It's his legal name.

    SYL is his legal name. It is tommy robinson that is the alias. When he appears in court for his latest bout of thuggery he will be charged as SYL.

    Couldn't give a shìte what you call Bruce/Kaitlyn.


    SYL is his legal name, it's the name he gets arrested under and uses in court.

    He has 6+ names.

    If he or you are offended by his birth one, stop making up names.

    Never heard of Kaitlyn Jenner.

    Have they 6+ names?

    I get that. It's probably just that you don't respect him and don't extend the courtesy of giving him his preferred name. Only point I'm making is it's kind of ironic that the ones who insist on using it would be among the first to call others out in situations where the person prefers to be called something else.

    By the same token, some people take massive steps to say that they #believeher when a Muslim/Asian is involved as an apparent perpetrator whereas in other instances there'd be radio silence otherwise.

    What I'm getting at is that people seem to be able to shift their ideologies when it suits, on all sides. It's just somewhat interesting. That's it

    If tommy robinson is his preferred name then he should legally change it. quite simple for him to do.

    Fair point. I was under the impression he may have changed it legally.

    Are you honestly telling me you never heard of Bruce Jenner and his/her newer identity of Kaitlyn, probably the most high profile trans person on the planet?

    From a Ricky Gervais joke years ago.

    Not a name that I would remember off the top of my head.

    What he/she has got to with Stephen, fúck knows.

    I'm sure you had a point somewhere.

    He's a convicted fraudster and violent thug who has attempted to compromise the trials of grooming gangs. What has he done to earn any respect?

    I'm just asking why he's not afforded the courtesy is all. You've told me and that's a legitimate enough reason.

    If someone is a sh*thead, you choose to not name them by their preference. If someone is sound, you might do. That's fine. I'm just trying to see the logic people use is all.

    The word of a convicted liar and thug means nothing to me.

    Your response is obtuse yet again. You were presented with video footage of a Muslim gang clearly throwing bricks and bottles at a crowd of people which included children. It was not just "the word of a convicted liar and thug" as you absurdly suggest and again your response to the footage at the time was:
    If it was real, there'd be coverage from actual news sources.

    You're so tied to your political leftist leanings that even when shown video footage of actual violence by young Muslims, you claim it's not real, as sure if it was, it'd have been in the mainstream media.

    Well, like I said to you at the time:
    Lots of "actual news sources" covered it but they sanitized it beyond belief.

    The Independent was the only mainstream news source that actually cited the fact that Muslims had thrown bricks and how one chap was arrested:

    Brick thrown at anti-Islam activist’s campaign van in Preston

    The fact that this happened days ago and you haven't heard about it should tell you something.

    Look, I condemn all violence, and if it turns out Tommy's supporters threw rocks or bottles, even in self defense, I condemn that too.

    So why won't you condemn the violence by the Muslim gang? Surely they can have no excuse for behaving like that.

    Your response to the above was radio silence as you knew there was no excuse for suggesting the violence wasn't real.

    Well, let me ask you now ancapailldorcha, if the violence you were shown wasn't "real" then how 20 people have been charged over it?
    20 suspects charged with violent disorder at Oldham European elections rally

    Twenty people have been charged with violent disorder at a rally held by Tommy Robinson during his campaign to be elected to the European Parliament.

    Violence broke out after a large group of men calling themselves the Muslim Defence League (MDL) converged on the event in Oldham on 18 May.

    Police initially escorted the MDL demonstration, but disorder started after they arrived at the pro-Robinson rally at a park in Limeside.

    Officers were pelted with bricks and eggs as they attempted to keep the two groups separate, with vehicles damaged.

    The 20 suspects, aged between 16 and 39, have all been charged with violent disorder and will appear at Tameside Magistrates’ Court in two hearings on Thursday and on 19 March.

    It was one of several disturbances during Robinson’s election campaign, which saw the English Defence League founder “milkshaked” and fights break out between supporters and opponents.

    Those charged with violent disorder in Oldham, and appearing in court on 5 March, are Haroon Hussain, 39, of Halifax; Hadir Ali, 25, of Oldham; Mubasher Khan, 25, of Oldham; Atiq Urrehman, 25, of Crumpsall; Faraz Ahmed, 32, of Oldham; Majid Khan, 30, of Oldham; Salman Ahmed, 21, of Oldham; Mohammed Zeeshauan Khan, 21, of Oldham; Kamran Ali, 27, of Oldham; Abdul Nazir, 27, of Oldham; Rahim Ahmed, 25, of Oldham; and Amann Ul Haq, 19, of Oldham.

    Appearing on 19 March are Mikail Ahmed, 21, of Oldham; Matthew Henry, 25, of Oldham; Dillan Simpson, 19, of Oldham; Jayden Mack, 18, of Oldham; Duane Coleman, 33, of Rochdale; Luke Tucker, 19, of Oldham; and two 16-year-old boys who cannot be named for legal reasons.

    Again you are over thinking it.

    Violent thug acts like violent thug and gets himself arrested again.

    I fail to see why ideology comes into it for me anyway.

    I don't think I have defended career criminal violent racists thugs in the past, so I would be pretty consistent in my views.

    Again, just because you think you had a point doesn't necessarily mean you had a valid one.

    He said she had already spoken to police with her mother, that was enough ..

    That makes no sense whatsoever.

    The recording of his daughter making the allegation was obviously made before the police got there given it is what led to the altercation and the police weren't even called until after the altercation took place. It's an impossibility for him to have made the recording after the police got there.

    That is not obvious at all.

    That recording could have been made after the assault. It could have also have been made that night or the next day.

    There was a 3 hour wait before the police came.

    Unless you have evidence to the contrary?

    The mental gymnastics on display are unreal.

    The recording clearly takes place at a facility. So now the suggestion is Tommy got out of jail and then whipped his daughter down to the local pool to concoct an elaborate alibi :P
    "Okay, sweetie, lets record it in here. It looks just like Centre Parcs. Now don't agree with everything I say, that would be too obvious, say No a few times to my questions, okay? Now I'm going to ask you if it was possible it was an accident too, just to make it sound real, okay, ready? Oh and if I call your friend Macee, you correct me and say Mazee. You got this!"

    Honestly folks, you don't like the guy, we get it. I don't like him either, a cowardly c**t on occasion, as I've said, but the girl is not lying, or going along with a lie neither. It's patently clear she's being genuine even if her Dad might not be (with regards to the altercation).


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,120 ✭✭✭✭Boggles



    The recording clearly takes place at a facility.

    Clearly? The phone is pointing at the ceiling. :confused:

    So If I through up 8 pictures of ceilings you would 100% identify which "facility" they are from? :pac:

    Again there was a 3 hour window until the police came, so the reality is you don't have a clue when that "footage" was taken, do you?

    You are basing your assumptions on a heavily edited narrated 15 minute grift, correct?

    There is absolutely no balance in this story, correct? Apart from the fact Stephen as been the only one charged with assault based largely on independent eye witness accounts.

    For someone who has to analyse evidence forensically from all sides and then comes up with the thesis that the female was lying in all other cases, why are you so sure about this one, given that you acknowledged a pathological conman is involved?

    Its immaterial when he made the recording,he knew she was going to have to do it at some point with the police and once is enough was my point and a caring parent would limit the amount of times she has to go over it,so as to leave as little imprint in her mind as possible.

    His own recording is not police evidence,the police interview is police evidence,his recording is for Tommy and his followers nobody else.

    Yeah, he got released from jail, rushed back to centre parks and got his daughter to lie on camera.

    That seems far more plausible.
