Podcast appearances and mentions of stephen yaxley lennon

Naomi and Alex look at the week's news, focussing on the market turmoil and pressure on Reeves, Trump's felony conviction, and Farage under increasing pressure from his own members for - WAIT FOR IT! - being too moderate. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “Trump did this before his 2017 inauguration. He is manipulating markets. Causing a volatile period with negative movement. He threatens lots of stuff. He then gets sworn in and tones it down. Everything resets and he comes out and claims: Look at Wall Street. Even in my first week everything is going gangbusters.” "An enormous number of [Reform voters] are aspirationally wealthy, golf-playing, what I would call 'red corduroy trouser guy'. They do not like the working classness of a man like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. They don't want him invading their club. And I think that's true of Farage.” “The government needs to pursue a policy of dynamic beneficial alignment with the EU. Most of us do not work for a large corporation that can box and cox around regulatory changes in our largest trading market. Lots of SMEd and sole traders just can't do it.” “There are unilateral things that gov't could be doing right now to boost the economy and the reason it's not is because it's chicken. They are letting the perceived political price, of being seen to get closer to the EU, dictate policy choice. It is a discredit to them. These lost months, you ain't getting them back.” Reform UK trying to introduce a bill - the video is here. CALL TO ACTION: Tell your MP to attend the debate on Youth Mobility.

In this latest episode of Double Jeopardy, Ken Macdonald and Tim Owen are joined by Dan Neidle, Founder of Tax Policy Associates, to explore the finances of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the far-right street agitator and self-styled journalist who calls himself Tommy Robinson. The trio explore how Yaxley-Lennon has monetised his presence on the internet through ‘donations' and ‘gifts' from his followers, which are then passed through multiple off-the-shelf companies. Ken, Tim and Dan investigate the tax implications of these ‘donations', and the potential tax liabilities that Yaxley-Lennon may face now that HMRC has reportedly opened an investigation into him. To close the episode, Ken & Tim also touch on the Grenfell Inquiry Report and the glacial pace of criminal investigations in the UK justice system, highlighting the inefficiencies in the UK's investigative and legal processes as well as the need for major investment in the system.

Tommy Robinson has been banned by almost every major social media platform on Earth, and even many right-wing leaders have disavowed his activism.

Robinson, born Stephen Yaxley Lennon, has a criminal record of convictions for assault, falsifying documents, mortgage fraud, and stalking. In June 2024, Robinson was arrested again in Canada.

Liam Tuffs talks to Tommy Robinson, aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, about betrayal, misrepresentation, drugs, prison, cancel culture and much more.

Whilst flash storms hitting the UK and British politics still in a state of tumult, Nick and Joe get together to discuss some twists on familiar topics: low turnout at a far-right demo, fascists staring down the barrel of some tricky legal problems and the mainstream media failing to grasp the severity of platforming far right figures.-- Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ("Tommy Robinson") held another demo in Telford last weekend in conjunction with screening the fourth episode of his documentary series. The turnout was abysmal, which is unsurprising as Tommy and crew did very little work in building for it. Joe has the latest and tells us what we can expect from Tommy in the future.Elsewhere, the guys dive into the scoop that HNH published yesterday about a secret nazi gig currently set to take place in Widnes next Saturday (17th), and the campaign we've launched to stop it. Joe gives us the latest on Patriotic Alternative who, whilst remaining extremely active, are facing yet more publicity problems thanks to two of its more high-profile figures.Finally, why did GB News give airtime to a Swedish far-right activist who has previously denied the Holocaust, and why do mainstream and semi-mainstream media outlets never learn?Like, share and subscribe to the podcast!--Produced by: Nick Spooner

CW for some discussion of sexual violence.Stephen Yaxley Lennon, Tommy Robinson, has been preparing a documentary looking at sexual crimes in Telford.While the scourge of sexual violence against women is disgusting, it's clear that Tommy's motives are less than pure. Why is it that Britain's noisiest islamophobe would want to focus solely on the crimes of Asian individuals and gangs, as opposed to the bigger picture of violence that afflicts all communities? Tommy's record of associations with violent misogynists and abusers is well documented, and his denunciations of them have proven weak, inconsistent, or non existent.Joe, Roxy and Nick look in depth at this, and provide an overview of the other important goings on with the far right in early 2022.

Roxana and Nick discuss the murder of David Amess, a killing that will be remembered as another example of violence being used to harm our democratic freedoms. The far right responded gleefully to the killing, instantly spotting an opportunity to weaponize it against minorities. In reality the far right only cares for nurturing their own hatred, as their responses in the wake of the murder of Jo Cox also demonstrated.Despite this solemn episode, Roxy and Nick also find time to confront the falling star of Stephen Yaxley Lennon, a man who it is difficult to imagine was once a rising talent. With his life in disarray, and now with an embarrassing stalking ban to his name, Stephen Lennon could be seen ranting his new line in conspiracy theories to a bemused crowd of xenophobes in Dresden.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, has been jailed for contempt of court for his coverage of a sex abuse trial. Separately, journalist Isabel Oakeshott has grabbed headlines with her story about what the former British ambassador to the United States, Sir Kim Darroch, thought of Donald Trump, based on leaked secret diplomatic cables. So what is Tommy Robinson actually guilty of? And why does he get jail time, whilst the publication of diplomatic documents - and a potential breach of the Official Secrets Act - is celebrated? We hear from media law trainer David Banks, award-winning Buzzfeed UK senior reporter Emily Dugan, The Sun columnist Trevor Kavanagh and BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Dominic Casciani. Presenter: Amol Rajan Producer: Paul Waters

Matthew Collins and Duncan Cahill discuss the absolute state of the British far right in the year of 2019. Eddy Butler's thirst for power and dislike of Stephen Yaxley Lennon puts him on the wrong side of his party boss Anne Marie Waters, Britain First are hit by a series of very embarrassing leaks, while Nick Griffin prepares for a party where the list of attendees is as note worthy as the list of non-attendees.

Joe Mulhall sits down with David Renton to discuss the subject of David's new book, the rise of a far right that is becoming increasingly detached from fascism. The two discuss the contemporary history of Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) as well as exploring the possibilities for antifascists to confront this new radical right threat. David’s aim, in this book, was to describe how the far right and fascism could grow further and closer over time, and outlined some of the aims for the antifascist movement in a period where we may often be confronting people without any direct links to fascism, but who nonetheless advance a similar, divisive agenda.

Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is the ‘great white whale’ of the anti-fascist movement: impossible to pin down and always abe to reinvent himself. He’s been at the forefront of the EDL, has teamed up with Quilliam, founded the British version of Pegida, joined far-right outlet Rebel Media, and has now struck out as a kind of extremist citizen journalist. In this show we talk about the propaganda of Tommy Robinson, the affective bond he has created with his audience and the impact his recent banning from social media and fundraising platforms will have on him. We also interview two activists from London Antifascists on Tommy Robinson. https://www.redpepper.org.uk/tommy-robinson-is-using-brexit-chaos-to-advance-his-racist-agenda-we-cant-let-him-win/ https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/pamwnm/alt-right-figures-pretending-to-be-journalists-are-playing-a-dangerous-game https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2018/09/22/tommy-robinson-and-the-transformation-of-the-british-far-right/

In March 2009, an Islamic extremist group called Al-Muhajiroun staged a demonstration as 200 soldiers paraded through the town of Luton after returning from Iraq. The radical Islamists fuelled anger in the local community, and these tensions led to the formation of the English Defence League by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - aka Tommy Robinson. Ten years on, we speak to the people who were there as Luton faced a global media storm and find out how they have been working to beat extremism ever since.

Facebook is standing first in the firing line of criticism of the big tech companies who are accused of selling users private data, channelling propaganda and fake news and damaging democratic elections. More countries around the world are now starting to talk about regulating Facebook and other social media platforms. Zuckerberg did not help his case by refusing to appear before a Parliamentary committee in the United Kingdom which concluded that Zuckerberg failed to show leadership or personal responsibility over fake news on Facebook. This forced the country’s Digital Minister, Jeremy Wright to fly to San Francisco to see Zuckerberg about their concerns. Following that meeting, Facebook has announced that controversial far right-wing British agitator, Tommy Robinson also known as Stephen-Yaxley-Lennon would be permanently removed from their platform. In Britain there is overwhelming support for tougher regulation: 80% of people surveyed by a private data security firm Eskenzi PR wanted tighter government control. A former mentor of Zuckerberg, Roger McNamee has written a book about Zuckerberg, titled “Zucked: Waking up to the Facebook Catastrophe”. In an interview with Bloomberg’s Lisa Abramowicz and Paul Sweeney he explains why he changed his mind about Zuckerberg…

First up, CYBG cans Virgin Money deal with Anthony Jenkins startup. The new owner of Virgin Money has canned a long-term deal with a digital banking start-up launched by Anthony Jenkins, the former Barclays chief executive. Not entirely unexpected, since David Duffy, CYBG's chief executive, had hinted since securing a £1.6bn deal to buy the bank that it was likely to use its own technology platform. Confirmation that CYBG is ditching the 10x deal may deal a blow to Mr Jenkins, who has been in talks with investors for several months about a substantial new funding round for his venture. Virgin Money is understood to have committed tens of millions of pounds to creating a digital platform with 10x's support, and CYBG's decision to terminate the deal is likely to trigger a sizeable payment to 10x. Fintech startup Revolut is in talks to raise $500M from Softbank. Several sources have told City A.M. that the deal is set to close early next year, as Revolut tries to launch its banking app in the US, one of fintech’s most notoriously hard to crack markets. Comes less than seven months since Revolut closed its last funding round at $250m, which valued the London startup at $1.7bn as a so-called unicorn company. Not known if previous backers such as Index Ventures, Draper Esprit and DST Global will sign on to this round. Softbank said earlier this year that it was looking to deploy around $200m into fintech from its $100bn Vision Fund, and was reported by Sky News to have explored a similar investment in UK challenger bank Oaknorth. We spoke to Emily Nicolle, the author of this article for City AM to give us her thoughts on this story. Digital bank Starling to roost on the high street. Digital bank Starling is heading to the high street, announcing a tie-up that will enable its personal and business customers to withdraw and deposit cash over the counter at all 11,500 Post Office branches nationwide. Despite falling cash use across the UK, the app-only challenger bank said it was responding to customer needs. “Our customers still want to pay in cash and take money out,” said Julian Sawyer, head of banking services at Starling Bank. “The Post Office has more outlets than all the other banks combined, so it became a very obvious channel to link up with.” The digital bank’s move to the high street comes as larger banks shift customers online, closing hundreds of high street bank branches and free-to-use cash machines in the process. We caught up with Megan Caywood at Xerocon yesterday to tell us more about this announcement and what it means for their users. Simple attracts Amazon exec as new CEO. US neo bank Simple has named a former Amazon executive as its new CEO, in a rare example of talent returning from Big Tech to the banking industry We interviewed the Co-Founder of Simple Bank, Shamir Karkal in ep. 254. David Hijirida moved from Washington Mutual to help build Amazon’s online payments business in 2007 before acting as a director of AWS. Hijirida takes over from Dickson Chu who was working as the interim chief executive of the bank after founding CEO Josh Reich who quit in May. Fluidly raises £5M in Series A Funding. Fluidly is an applied AI business that combines machine learning and financial modelling to automate the forecasting and management of cashflow for SMEs. The £5m Series A funding round was led by New York-based fintech investor Nyca Partners. Existing investors Octopus Ventures, Anthemis and tech angels including Simon Murdoch and Charlie Songhurst also participated in the latest financing round. We caught up with Fluidly CEO Caroline Plumb at Xerocon yesterday, to find out more about what this money will be used for.

Rolled out to BofA's millions of customers over the summer, Erica helps users with a host of simple transactions such as money transfers and balance enquiries.

This week’s roundtable discussion with Matthew, Safya and Joe delves into the turbulent nature of British and international politics. Matthew talks about the Fear, Hope and Loss report and how it explains why people in the UK voted for Brexit. Safya highlights the importance of fact-checking in the context of anti-Muslim prejudice and Joe announces HOPE not hate’s recent campaign which stopped convicted fraudster Stephen Yaxley-Lennon from speaking at one of the largest anti-Muslim think tanks in the USA. Safya’s discussion with Darren Byler, a lecturer at the University of Washington, focuses on the horrifying tales by the Uighur people of North-west China, who have been forced to enter mass re-education camps by the Chinese state.

We’re joined by Matthew, Safya and Joe where they delve into Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s court case at the Old Bailey and his new-found international fame, the media’s role in providing a platform for Anjem Choudary and the series of explosives found the homes of high-profile, left-leaning, political figures in the US.

Stephen Yaxley Lennon, is not the messiah, he’s a convicted criminal, far-right activist, and Islamophobic extremist. This long read (by the Right Response team, and read by Matthew McGregor) explains exactly why he’s earned those labels. [this podcast was recorded earlier this year, prior to Stephen Lennon’s arrest and appeal]

We join Joe, Safya, and Matthew for a chat about the party conferences that they have all looked at in recent days, and the warm, white wine and white supremacy that greeted many of their attendees. Katie Hopkins recently addressed the For Britain conference alongside Ingrid Carlqvist, a known Holocaust denier. Safya assesses Katie's slow sink into the murky depths of the far right. Joe talks about UKIP becoming a home for the far right, including a crowd of extremist gamers with bizzaro names such as 'Sargon of Akkad' and 'Count Dankula', following the resignation of their MEP Lord Dartmouth over homophobia and Islamophobia. Finally, Matthew talks about the Labour party conference, the fantastic meeting held by HOPE not hate’s Rosie Carter there, and HOPE not hate's new campaign - 'We Want the Final Say' which seeks a referendum on the final deal for the Brexit negotiations. The three discuss all this plus Tommy Robinson and more, in a great roundtable chat.

HOPE not hate CEO, Nick Lowles makes his podcast debut to talk about the release of Tommy Robinson, aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the media reaction, and how his newfound international celebrity impacts the threat of the far right. We've launched the HOPE Action Fund because our research work directly combats the threat of Tommy Robinson and his Islamophobic agenda. You can support the fund from just £5/month here – www.hopenothate.org.uk/hope-action-fund

We’re back with another episode! To mark Windrush Day, Safya’s has a candid interview with HOPE not Hate Organiser Dawn Livingston, providing a poignant insight into the Windrush generation and the experiences of racism and marginalisation they endured since their arrival. Also this week, Joe gives us the low-down of the international far right’s response to Stephen Yaxley Lennon’s - also known as Tommy Robinson - arrest. Safya explores the fall out from the international row over the NGO search and rescue ship “Aquarius”. And Maatin discusses Westminster’s formal recognition of Windrush Day.

Joe delves into Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s (AKA. Tommy Robinson) arrest and subsequent demonstrations in Central London. Safya discusses Mamadou Gassama, the 22 year old the viral sensation whose rescue of a young child dangling from a fourth-floor apartment brought attention to France’s disparate treatment of its immigrant population. Maatin touches on the NFL, Colin Kaepernick and the NFL’s new law that fines teams if their players don’t stand for the national anthem. Safya interviews with Yasser Louati, a human rights activist, and they discuss Maryam Pougetoux, a French teenager who unintentionally caused a media storm just by wearing her headscarf.
