not wanted   10 #1 Posted November 29, 2013 English Defence League (EDL) founder and former leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon has admitted mortgage fraud offences.  He pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiring with others to obtain a mortgage by misrepresentation from the Abbey and Halifax banks.  The 30-year-old, also known as Tommy Robinson, committed the offences in 2009.  Robinson's address and the court where he appeared cannot be named for legal reasons.  He was warned he could face a prison term when he is sentenced in the new year.  Earlier this year, Robinson was jailed for 10 months for using someone else's passport to travel to the USA.  He left the EDL last month, citing increasingly racist elements within the group.  Yaxley-Lennon founded the EDL in 2009 after five Muslim men demonstrated in Luton against a homecoming parade by the Royal Anglian Regiment.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-25110639  He is nothing but a career criminal.  He has convictions for passport fraud, football hooliganism, assaulting a police officer along with a couple of other assault convictions, resisting arrest and now mortgage fraud.

LeMaquis   10 #9 Posted November 29, 2013 Despite all his bad points he is still entitled to an opinion, and being a criminal doesn't make his opinions wrong.  If his opinions are so right then why does he have such an impressive criminal record? The justice system doesn't seem to think he's right much.  ---------- Post added 29-11-2013 at 18:17 ----------  He's an apologist for what?  Himself.

The justice system doesn't seem to think he's right much.  I am sorry but that is a pretty stupid comment. He has never been imprisoned for his opinions has he?  His actions are contrary to law, that is why he has been imprisoned. Also, no one said his opinions were right, just that he had a right to them. It is a very different concept that I would be happy to explain if you were to pm me.
