Tommy Robinson - Proving That You Don't Need Brains To Lead The Edl
Tommy Robinson, leader of the far right EDL, went to the house of Gary Moon, the editor of an anti-EDL website, took pictures of his front door, and then pictures of him holding up letters addressed to Mr Moon - proving that he'd been there.
Except it wasn't Gary Moon's flat. It was Garry Moon's flat - a man with no connection to the anti-EDL website:

This leaves the question - why did Tommy Robinson go to those lengths to track down Gary Moon? Why did he tweet pictures of Garry Moon's address to his followers on Twitter?
After Nick Griffin published the address of the gay couple who sued the Christian B&B (encouraging BNP members to deliver them 'some drama), should we now be wary of upsetting these thugs, lest we too get 'personal calls'?

@AoG. Yes, there are doubtless many many far more egregiously horrible events going on in the world right now. But, to paraphrase your own contribution here, at least initially - "so what"? As someone with around average-ish intelligence

Big deal, someone made a mistake.

Who cares.

Are you yourself really bothered about these persons making a personal call?

It is alarming that a party leader goes yo the lengths of tirning up at the house of someone who criticises it.
And then publishing the address, picture of the building and front door to his knuckle dragging followers. That is just sinister. It looks like he is inciting others to do some stupid attack.
And he gets it all wrong. Wrong man, wrong address, wrong building.
It is tempting to laugh at their stupidity and incompetence, but we shouldn't. These people are dangerous.

I think you need to look at the wider implications of this story.
Tommy Robinson didn't have Gary Moon's address. All he knew is that he lived in Reading.
Gary Moon runs a site critical of the EDL, so Tommy Robinson investigates where Mr Moon lives and then calls round unannounced, and then tweets his address to his Twitter followers.
Don't you think that's dodgy, threatening and intimidating?
Why would the EDL stoop to doing this?

The EDL leader (whatever his name is today) has many convictions including common assault. In February he was released from prison on condition he wore an electronic tag.
In such circumstances, it would not be a good idea to confront Mr Moon at his front door (if he could find it). Better to publish the address and let orhers do his dirty work.
