Mr Lennon, who calls himself Tommy Robinson, says he was driving along the A6 at about 2am last Thursday (Dec 22) when he pulled over after another car, a black Vauxhall Zafira, flashed its lights at him.
When he got out of the car he was attacked by three men, with the beating only coming to an end when a ‘good Samaritan’ stopped at the scene, he said.
Mr Lennon, who runs a tanning salon in Luton, said:
“I was on my way back from Dunstable and near Streatley I noticed the car flashing me.
“I pulled over and got out. The car was being driven by a girl and three lads jumped out and I took a beating.
“As soon as I got out the passenger leapt out and I could tell straight away what was going to happen.
“I started fighting back and then the other two got out.
“The geezer that pulled over to help me said one of them had a pole but I didn’t see anything. But the hospital said the injuries looked like they’d been caused by a blunt object.”
Mr Lennon drove to Bedford Hospital where he was given a CT scan, which revealed bruising on his brain. He was released later the same day.
“I didn’t want to go to hospital but the guy that helped me kept insisting that I had to go,” he said. “They had knocked me out when he arrived – he said if he hadn’t pulled over they would probably have carried on.
“I’ve never had a kicking like it. I had to go home to my kids looking like that.”
Mr Lennon said claims on an anti-EDL website that the attack had been faked or had been carried out by football hooligans were “pathetic” and had been fabricated by people who had been kicked out of the EDL for being too right-wing.
He described his attackers as being of Asian appearance and said they were wearing jeans and bomber jackets, with one wearing a checked scarf.
A spokesman for Bedfordshire Police said it was as yet unclear what the motive for the attack was.
They appealed for any witnesses to come forward, including the good Samaritan, saying: “He was driving a silver Ford Mondeo and was called John or Jonathan.
“The officer investigating this case is Det Con Tom Hamm, contactable direct on 01582 473322. He would like to hear from John or anyone who knows who John is.

EDIT
I was going to write an article outlining the differences in the various statements that Lennon has put out but these following comments save me the job.

So many discrepancies
1) Where's the official statement about the knuckle dusters ? It seems they turned magically into a rod
2) Why didnt he mention this imaginary Samaritan when he initially made the bullshit statement to the EDL ?
3) Why no mention to the police of his vivid imagination thinking the girl in the car was his wife ?
4) The EDL and the BFP made a statement saying the police are treating it a racially motivated crime..... the police havent said anything of the sort
The liar lennon has cried wolf way to many times..... no one fooking believes him anymore.... not even his own ever shrinking flock
Thanks Anon.

Why publish this blatant nonsense? It's already been established on this page, as it has everywhere else, that one of the MIGs top boys gave him a doing a couple of weeks ago and he's now doing a Kev Carroll and inventing Islamist aggressors to shore up his base. Fuck's sake LU!
Because it is blatant nonsense and it's the first time it's really got anywhere in the media in the UK.
It must have been a very slow day at the newspaper or most of the editors are still on their jollies.
We have also reported or republished articles about plots to kill Nick Griffin that were a load of bollocks and I think it's right that we publish this story.
This website has built up a pretty impressive archive over the last few years and we need (I think) this sort of stuff here as well. It's not to publicise or inflame but to document.
The comments on the article on Luton Today are cracking and well worth a read.
I understand your point and I hope you understand mine. If K or whoever else is around wants to delete then do so.
Fair enough, John, although if it appeared with a brief editorial in italics at the top, it might distinguish it from 'real' news if you know what I mean.
And agreed, the comments section has some belters.
You shoulfn't have this on. It's just bullshit and by reprinting it, you're giving Robinson and his racist lies some spurious credibility when he deserves only contempt.

I agree that he deserves only contempt but have a look at the previous comments and have a look at the comments on the newspaper website.
"This website has built up a pretty impressive archive over the last few years and we need (I think) this sort of stuff here as well. It's not to publicise or inflame but to document. "
So if Nick Griffin came on spouting about Jews being scum and deserving to be disposed of and some shit paper like the Mail picked it up and printed it without any condemmnation you'd print that too? No, it doesn't wash, sorry.
LU fucks up again!!!!!

I'm inclined to believe NWI's version of events - for probably the only time ever. It's been obvious for quite some time that SYL has been due to get the shit kicked out of him by other factions on the FR, not least of all the ones he's scammed money out of.
Does anyone actually like the EDL/British Freedom?
Breaking: GMP confirm they're treating the Anuj Bidve murder as a hate crime. Apologies as always for the BNPBC link:

Personally I hope the story is true for 2 reasons;
1) I'd prefer Robinson to have the shit kicked out of him by 3 Asians than by other fascists, and
2) If he really did get out of his car at 2am and put himself into such a vulnerable situation knowing that he's a very marked man then he's even more stupid than anyone could ever have imagined.

Which organisation owns a lot of Vauxhall Zafiras that might want to talk to him at 2am?

A real racial attack is Anuj Bidve's sickening murder.
Salford EDL???
Vauxhall Zafira
Yaxley thought the name of the car sounded "Asian!"
Young Asian guys in Vauxhalls?
I'd credit them with better taste !
