Is the name of the leader of the Luton Town hooligan firm from the 80’s. is that where Stephen’s alias originated? Is this common knowledge and I’m behind the cusp? |  |

I would imagine he just went for the most English sounding name he could come up with. |  |

I’d tend to agree if it wasn’t the name of the head of Luton’s firm. Seems more than a coincidence to me. [Post edited 8 Sep 2018 22:12]

Yaxley Lennon was associated with the MIGS but the real Tommy Robinson was one of the top lads and Yaxley Lennon took his name. |  |

Why have the origins of his alias not been given more attention? Why has no interviewer ever asked him why he’s decided to name himself after a football hooligan of the team he supports? There’s no way he could claim he’d never heard of him. | |

Why in the hundreds of interviews he’s faced has his decision to name himself after the leader of Luton’s firm never been broached? Unless it has? I’ve only found out this evening. | |

It is, I'm pretty sure the BBC have mentioned it quite casually in passing pieces on him |  |

I might well be, I’d just never heard of it before. I’d have thought it would be a significant piece of information given his attempts to reinvent his image? | |

I was unaware until reading this thread.
Not sure how common knowledge it is, but I do admit I don't watch much of BBC News. |  |
