October 14, 2025Oct 14 Popular Post Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, alleged that Elon Musk is covering his legal expenses as he faced trial for refusing to give police his phone pin. Stopped at the Channel tunnel in July 2024, Robinson claimed the device contained "journalistic material." He was en route to Spain with over £13,000 following a rally in Trafalgar Square. Robinson, arriving in a friend's Bentley, was questioned by police due to vague responses and stopped under the Terrorism Act, allowing authorities to investigate potential terrorism links. He denies failing to comply, accusing authorities of persecution, reportedly funded by Musk. Musk's confirmation of this financial support is pending. The court heard that police deemed Robinson suspicious and restrained him when he attempted to film. He resisted sharing his phone pin, claiming it held sensitive information from investigations on grooming gangs. His barrister, Alisdair Williamson KC, challenged the necessity of the stop, suggesting potential discrimination based on Robinson's political past. Police officers cited Robinson's history with the disbanded English Defence League (EDL) and concerns over far-right threats as reasons for the stop. PC Mitchell Thorogood and Sgt Farmer highlighted factors such as his lavish travel mode and past involvement in EDL as considerations. The trial at Westminster magistrates court is set to continue, with Robinson's address protected due to expressed threats to his safety. Key Takeaways Tommy Robinson is on trial for refusing to share his phone pin at the Channel tunnel, claiming privacy over journalistic material. Robinson states Elon Musk is covering the legal costs, though confirmation from Musk is awaited. Police cite Robinson’s past with the EDL and his behavior at the tunnel as reasons for the stop under counter-terrorism powers.

October 14, 2025Oct 14 Must be nice! Get money for fomenting hatred and use the funds for a vacation in Spain...in a Bentley, no less! Where can I sign up? Hmm, who's on the hate list, Cambodians, Burmese, Laos?

October 14, 2025Oct 14 Popular Post I'm not a fan but those trying to nail him for telling the truth are looking more out of touch with this witch hunt.
October 14, 2025Oct 14 Popular Post Well done Elon. Shooting the messenger instead of dealing with the real problem is no way to run a country.

Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Guardian 2025-10-14 He had "journalistic material" on the phone. So did he get arrested for stealing the phone then? Which journalist did he nick it from? Nice though that he was off to Spain carrying some of his donation money that all the saps happily throw at him for doing nothing more than spouting hatred and nonsense.
October 14, 2025Oct 14 Popular Post Incredible the journalist 100% responsible for saving thousands of BRITISH kids from sex slavery at the hands of barbarians would trigger lefties so much?! Some people need a reality check, and fast

Nope, he doesn't care about rapists or children. At all. Here he is "pointing out inconvenient truths", getting his followers whipped up, loads of responses about immigration, brown people, lots of HATE. It turned out it was a middle aged white guy. So does Yaxley-Lennon come back to delete his tweet? No. Does he acknowledge he jumped to conclusions based on his bigotry and racism? Nope. He leaves it there to fester like a weeping sore (which is apt as that is what I consider him to be). No one follows up to do their own research, they just bash their hatred in to their keyboard and find the next thing to be irate about - true or not. Morons. Thankfully there are enough educated people in the UK to see through him and he'll never amount to anything more than a rabble rouser and a donation recipient which funds a nice lifestyle for him. At the end of the day that is all he cares about.

Some people need a reality check, and fast Who? 1. He isn't a journalist. 2. He hasn't saved anyone. Ask the real journalists who exposed the gangs years before Yaxley had found that bandwagon. Ask the victim who bravely exposed them at great personal risk to herself who said Yaxley had nothing to do with it, was "jumping on a bandwagon" and was being "disrespectful". I have posted at length about it before so not doing it again. Ask the judge who almost had to order a retrial due to his self serving shenanigans outside court. Yeah, he really cares about the victims.

October 14, 2025Oct 14 I wonder what was on Yaxley Lennon’s phone that he thought it worth the risk of Prison to refuse to handover his PIN? Maybe his contacts have an idea:

I see you posted this while I was posting...the poor victim let down terribly by the police ,judiciary and government... if it wasn't for that Tommy guy jumping on the bandwagon I think nothing would have been done.

No, he didn't expose them. He almost caused a mistrial that would have led to their release without charge though. He's neither a journalist nor clever, the latter being a common affliction of his followers too.

October 14, 2025Oct 14 If true, then I'd have kept quiet about it, as it will drive the far-lefty nujobs mad. No need to tell everyone everything... the left doesn't say that Soros funds them, keeps it quiet.

But, but, but; he had a lavish travelling style, driving a Bentley, carrying cash, obviously dodgy! Who were the arresting officers? Inspector Chisholm and Sergeant Jones? I have to say that I have a fairly low opinion of friend Tommy, although I do think that his antics around the whole grooming gangs business and the publicity it attracted probably helped stop them being further covered up. Taking money from Elon Musk will probably not help his popularity overall. Mind you I rather feel the same way about Farage/Reform UK's links with Trump!

Maybe his contacts have an idea: The EDL disbanded over 10 years ago and he never 'knew' all these people. He left it in 2013 over concerns about far right infiltration. He is not guilty by association any more than the Royals are with their perverts like Mountbatten, or members of the main parties are who knew pedophiles like Heath, Cyril Smith and Leon Brittan.

October 14, 2025Oct 14 Popular Post He is looking into the Police who turned a blind eye on the grooming gangs with sensitive information on his phone that will implicate the police officers concerned. Thats why they demanded Tommy to give his security pin to acces his phone. He won't fall for that one. There trying to silence him again because they know he has material they would rather be kept silenced.
