/// The man, of African appearance, is captured moving in and out of the shadows to spray the monument in London in the early hours on Monday. ///

AOG...well......WW2 was then.....this is now.

How does one control extremism in a multicultural society or any other society for that matter?

[Baldric]

Oh no!
Not a (and I hesitate to say it) Coloured person,
the usual suspects are going to have a field day!

[ludwig]

He should be easy to catch now. There can't be many EDL members of African appearance.

[naomi24]

Seems that way, AOG. I was never in any doubt - and if that makes me a usual suspect, so be it.

[jno]

what's African about his appearance?

[naomi24]

Err?

[jno]

is that supposed to be an answer?

[Kevink]

"what's African about his appearance?"

He's dressed in black.

And if you zoom in on the pic, you'll see it's either been photoshopped, or he's got a dolls head on backwards.

[naomi24]

No, it's supposed to be a question - hence the question mark.

[jno]

that's what I thought, Kevink. Aside from that, I'm supposed to take the Express's word for it.

[jno]

really? How does a question mark make "Err" a question?

Why not start a thread of your own if you want an answer to it?

[Kevink]

"No, it's supposed to be a question - hence the question mark."

"Errr?" is a question? In that case you'll have to translate it. Perhaps while you're about it, you can tell us what exactly is black about the appearance of a man in a dark room, wearing dark clothes, gloves, and some kind of head covering.

[naomi24]

//In that case you'll have to translate it.//

My pleasure. 'What?'

//you can tell us what exactly is black ..... //

His face.

[jake-the-peg]

If you look at the original thread I think you'll find I said regarding the EDL

//I'm not saying they did - I'm saying it's just as likely. //

I certainly don't think an organisation like the EDL - lead by a man with a criminal conviction for headbutting a fellow member - would flinch from doing something like this

We'll have to wait and see - but at first sight the film certainly looks like it puts them in the clear

[Baldric]

///a man in a dark room///

Err not the one in the photos then?
The RAF Bomber Command Memorial is a memorial in Green Park in London,

[jno]

his face looks African? In what respect?

What little I can see of the back of his head on my screen is darkish brown. That doesn't make his appearance "African".

[Kevink]

"His face."

You cans make out a face? Either your version of the Express has posted a much higher resolution image than the one I'm looking at, or you have a very vivid imagination.

[Baldric]

In the second set of pictures, the one on the left, above the caption On the prowl when hooked up to a 40 inch screen appears to show a face much lighter in colour than I would expect African Appearance to be.

[ludwig]

It looks like a black man to me, but we mustn't jump to conclusions. The EDL might have hired a black man to do their dirty work, or the Express could have photoshopped a black dolls head onto the image as suggested by kevink.

[naomi24]

jno, the second picture shows his face – not the back of his head.

Kevin, I hardly think the police would be impressed by the Express photoshopping the image. That would be really helpful! Perhaps you need to get a better computer, but until then you can always rely on your imagination. ;o)
