Pegida To Launch In U K

[ChillDoubt]

Tommy Robinson will be the face of Pegida in the UK. Athe founder of the EDL, it appears he has renounced his past. Has he grown up enough to take on his new task though....?

Khandro, best not to go into territory of symbols! Look what happened to Paul Golding!

Rooftop demo eh? He still retains lofty ideas then....

[youngmafbog]

The man often speaks sense and when he attracts the Mickeys of the world to hate him then he must be doing something right.

What the right-on liberal left dont get is that it is they that are fueling his popularity. The public dont want their ideology but have nowhere to turn except extremist parties or for the morre moderate; UKIP.

Mikey4444, any chance of an answer to my question from 1145?
It's been 2 hours now, is there a problem?
Unusual for you to be so quiet for so long.

I have nothing against this man, I prefer him to the fanatical muslims who hate us and all we stand for.

THEMOTLEY - I, for one, agree with you.

[mikey4444]

The problem Motley is that I have been visiting my very sick brother in hospital, as he had a brain operation yesterday.

No I don't think our soldiers should be abused by anyone and no, I don't think he should have formed a racist and fascist organisation in response.

Does that satisfy you ?

Talbot.....12:07...someone will have to tell you how to use Google one of these days !

[mikey4444]

Here's another Youtube all about the EDL....I apologise in advance the foul language from the very start

He says he is anti Islamification of the UK, not anti Islam per se, and anyone with an iota of common sense would agree that stemming the tide of immigration into the UK even for a limited time would do no harm.
He at the very least deserves a chance to prove himself.
(Hope your Brother does ok)

[Khandro]

mikey; EDL ? I thought the subject was Pegida and Robinson.
Sorry to hear about your brother, I shall pray for his safe recovery.

[THEMOTLEY1]

@1544, From the notes on your link "Published on Jan 28, 2013" a 3 year old video, a lot can change in 3 years, he is no longer part of the EDL,
///In October 2013 the group's co-founders, Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll, left the group, with Robinson citing concerns over the "dangers of far-right extremism"/// Wiki

[THEMOTLEY1]

Mikey likes them, he believes they prove his point, I think he must be a Jethro Tull fan! ;-)

[ichkeria]

Hasn't learned his lesson plainly, which is that encouraging street protests, even with the best intentions, against a rather vague target, is going to end in tears. Or at any rate, more hate. Who does he think is going to turn up to these marches? Religious scholars?


Pegida in Germany did their damnedest to don a cloak of respectability, but ultimately failed.

He seems to be letting his idealism get the better of him.

[-Talbot-]

I can use Google as good as the next man, mikey.

I also (unlike you) have a fantastic memory!

[Khandro]

ichy; // Who does he think is going to turn up to these marches? //
Well, people who don't want their country turned into a radical Muslim caliphate, I guess.

The EDL marched through Norwich. They were lovely people, made me proud to be British!

[THEMOTLEY1]

Gavmacp, This thread is not about the EDL, Robinson is no longer a part of them since 2013, nor is it about your father.

[Gavmacp]

The bit about my father was aimed at your post but you obviously missed it!

[THEMOTLEY1]

I do apologise Gav, as a regular reader of the Site I'm not used to you adding anything relevant to a thread tbh.
