StefanAVFC Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Think this needs his own thread, as the bloke is getting a bigger and bigger following as time goes on. I've seen old friends radicalised by him, sharing his crap multiple times a day. He's still doorstepping his critics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined because a few years ago, I couldn't quite believe people like Jim Carrey, Ricky Gervais, popular physists and sports stars could just comment and talk candidly, sometimes to fans/supporters. But in the last 2 years, everyone has some political agenda to push. Gervais with animal cruelty Jim Carrey has become a political satirist Kevin Peitersen and Rhino protection Graham Linehan (who wrote father ted) and his thing with the LGBT community being sexist towards women And it's become very boring. I can't escape politics and all I wanna do is laugh at some word removed falling over or a good gag.. The best things on twitter now are the "goal of the day" videos that are put out by Villa and AC Milan. Honestly, Liam Gallagher and his mental, thick musing are the only thing keeping me on it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he does - though obviously, it's not my call. Concentrating on the little turd just feeds in to his self-promotion. He'll probably get another Newsnight programme out of this and another house out of the donations of the immensely gullible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Yaxley-Lennon isn't on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook as he was banned for hate speech so let's not derail the topic after five posts please? The man is cancer. He's cashing in on prejudice and hate mongery and this country's political lurch to the right. The fact that people believe his lies is depressing, but hey, it's easier to point the finger at an 'other' and blame them for societies problems than find an actual solution isn't it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 That maybe the topic should be about him rather than social media. Within two posts of Twitter being mentioned the conversation shifts to celebrities being weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Of course, banning him from social media platforms (private companies) for breaching their terms is infringing on his freedom of speech. He is just a martyr at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within two posts of Twitter being mentioned the conversation shifts to celebrities being weird. The short conversation in context was probably done and dusted in 2 posts. Anyway, we’ve wasted more posts discussing ‘The Topic’ so... best move on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a close friend, smart guy, who has absolutely brainwashed himself watching this crap on YouTube. I was out in Stockport last night and a weird looking guy came into the bar. He was by himself but being loud, and finally sat down not far from us spouting bollocks toward the couple at the next table. It was friend of Farage, Batten and Yaxley-Lennon, and ex-boyfriend of Jayda Fransen, Andrew Edge. If you've not heard of him, give him a Google. Absolute whopper.

Political power has always been about getting the people on the fence to come over to your side. He's not trying to get the liberal to join his cause but if he can energise those who don't have a political agenda yet then he can (and will) build support. I do wonder how much sympathy he gets in places like VT. This forum strikes me as a centre/left kind of place but young White Anglo Saxon Protestant males into football culture are definitely a prime demographic for the far right to reach out to.

It's similar to how they work and it directly fuels their work. How do ISIS brainwash muslims into joining them? A big part is convincing them that the West hates Islam, and people like Yaxley-Lennon will be the "evidence" they use to convince them. He's just fuelling the flames. Again, I'd say he's doing it without even realising it, but I bet he does realise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the EDL started by canvassing football fans. Yaxley-Lennon himself was a Luton Town hooligan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I remember a video of him being 'attacked' by supposed anti-fascists in a McDonald's car park. So clearly staged it was beyond believe. The attackers of course were masked and it was edited to show Yaxley-Lennon having a good go. Still got to appear 'ard hasn't he. Still had his frothing at the mouth moronic supporters believing it though. Thick bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he got arrested, it happened like: reported on a trial that he wasn't permitted to report on Suspended sentence Did it again Arrested 'BRITISH COURTS ARE COVERING UP JUSTICE' Then: if his reporting caused a mistrial and the defendant walked free 'MUSLIM GROOMERS DON'T GET THE JUSTICE THEY DESERVE' It's so transparent and people are so thick for not seeing through it He doesn't give a shit about any victims 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
