IIRC he chose 'Tommy Robinson' as he was the main face in Luton's M.I.G.s
and Lennon has run with Luton's firm. The real TR was not best pleased about it, I think.
Getting away from the 'Lennon' title has limited the anti Irish abuse he gets from some of his followers, but not totally and his Irish roots get brought up by the splitters.

Yep that's correct - he nicked TR's name cos of the hoolie connection and the 'cred' the name had locally around Luton. At one point some people thought they were the same guy. The real Tommy Robinson isn't a racist - he just liked fighting a lot (his book "MIG Crew" is an alright read, if you like that sort of thing. There's some great stories in it, including when they went on holiday to Spain and started a riot with the local police, and ended up spending two weeks in jail :rolleyes: ). It's true that the real TR wasn't pleased. I remember an incident at football (Luton) where someone got a fist in the face for taking the real TR's name in vain.

As for the passport business, I imagine what happened was he managed to get the Paul Harris passport by getting someone called Paul Harris (who'd never had a passport) to apply for a passport with SYL's photo on it, knowing that the Americans wouldn't have let him in otherwise.
 
The Paul Harris passport has been doing the rounds since before he got refused entry to the US for what i can remember

I didn't know the full story to the Tommy Robinson name. That is cheeky as fcuk for Whateverhisnameis to take the name of a 'top boy' with the local firm and then use it to publicly promote himself and the EDL politically. The inference is obvious; deliberate confusion of the two people with the name TR, give yourself an immediate 'hardman' rep without earning it, and tar the real TR with the brush of the EDL and fascism. No wonder yer man was angry about it...

there was some chatter on the vine that one of the kick ins tommy got that he tried to pin on fundies was football related, iirc the one just before "the big one" demo in luton 2010
 
Interesting post over on Storm****t , someones done some digging around Tr's family name and if its to believed its possible he was adopted and Harris birth name and Yaxley Lennon name a result of parent remarrying or something , still a bit bizarre the tool thought he could get into and out of USA with different passports and no one would notice

I actually bought the MIG book on the strength of assuming it was the same bloke!
 
They have and they are foaming. Not sure if this video was made to wind up the EDL or not. If not I would like to see both groups stuck on a desert island and fight til the death over the last manky cockroach.

CxF have stated they are going down to sort it out but in all likelihood CxF will turn up drunk and get the shit kicked out of them.

This is the first time the CxF have shown their heads above the parapet since they got turfed out of Liverpool and then went back to their mates house and stole of her.

Yet he was caught out by fingerprints?
 
My favourite thing about the start of that documentary is how Dyer is stood in a silent, empty street on a grey day that could come from a Smiths song and describes London as the most exciting city in the world. At least choose Piccadilly Circus or something to try and make your point.
