She should change her name. But it's probably a much more common name than we realize, and it sucks that the Alex Jones has ruined the name for everybody else with it.
He’s the one that’s bad. Why should she change?
Yeah. And to be fair - her career (while prominent) is very UK-specific, so unless she suddenly decides to take a job in the States, her name will never be a problem here.
The US Alex Jones only crops up in the media over here when he loses court cases*, or that one time Andrew Neil invited him onto a BBC politics show so he could shout over him.
* Under UK libel laws, his comments about Sandy Hook would likely have been litigated years earlier than in the US, so there’s a note of shock in UK coverage that he still hasn’t been held accountable for them.
Had the Sedition Act not been repealed, he could have been jailed for those comments and actions right away. Which would be a good thing.
