I think the use of his Yaxley-Lennon name serves as a shibboleth for a group who many would label as liberals (probably not an accurate label in this context though). It's way of signalling belonging to a social grouping that sees itself superior to the group that he draws his support from. 

Like most political fault lines they are more about identity than people drawing rational conclusions after considering all the arguments. A bit like people on both side of the Brexit debate argue about the economics merits of their side of the issue even though both sides would not change their minds on what they thought of Brexit if they were presented with conclusive evidence that their argument was flawed. Economics is just a proxy for what really irks each side which is identity.

That's why even if the contradictions you mention above hold true they won't convince anyone they are wrong about which version of his name they should use. His supporters support him becuase they believe - rightly or wrongly - that he represents people like them. His detractors look at the images of the people on the marches and recognise them as belonging to a social class they perceive as being beneath them and jump at the chance to advertise that.

I'm probably vain enough to consider myself in the latter group if I am honest which why I take some comfort in finding a reason to sit on the fence when it comes to having an opinion on him. The reason I don't join in the sneering is I have been on the wrong end of that on things I have believed in in the past. So I try to avoid doing it. But no-one's perfect and am I sure you'll catch me indulging in it too from time to time. But also as I mentioned in a previous post, TR, SYL or whatever you want to call him has fucked up with this. The boy who was expelled and made a pariah by an all too willing mob of liberals deserved more.

How is he a political agitator? You think you actyally talknsense?

yh my missus thinks so too, got 3 lovely kids from it

So what's the issue with others using a different name?

Right someone needs to tell me why they have this obsession with this Milly character. Is it some new age insult J1had1 Goose

 

Doesn't matter though does it? You are obsessed with what name others give to themselves.

Clearly braindead? That is some proper poofy insult. Something a arrogant little GenZ would say

It's a pseudonym. Use your real name

So once again...... what is your real name?
