Giving the baby back to the missus doesnt count

The Police wear body cams to help enforce the law. That's their job.

Both MLK and Merkel legally changed their names. They are entitled to be correctly addressed. Yaxley-Lennon has just assumed one. He is also entitled to be correctly addressed. As Yaxley-Lennon.

False accusations are but one of the reasons, but they are still part of enforcing the law.

A politician deciding to retain a legally held name for the purpose of recognition is hardly comparable to someone deciding to use the pseudonym of a football hooligan, is it?

Actors and writers frequently need to adopt a "stage name" because someone else is already using their real name and for them to use it too could infringe copyrights. I have a good friend in that profession who explained the need to do that.

My favourite was a kid my son knew called Isaac Acock.

It’s alright for show business people, authors, actors and sportsmen to change their names but not some bloke from Luton, then?
The football hooligan story is a red herring. Actually he’s very interested in a character in To Kill a Mockingbird and a formerly gay power pop singer and named himself in their honour.

The fact that the left obsess over the Tommy Robinson name is probably down to the fact that the chant fits so well and is popular.

Yet the number of other false names for others they are fine with shows that it's transparent.

It's just another of their seemingly endless double standards.
