Neo-Nazis at EDL rallies

[Gromit]

// The WDL - aligned to the English Defence League - was set up last year by an ex-soccer hooligan and author Jeff Marsh in response to Muslim extremists abusing troops returning from Afghanistan.

Two admitted involvement in racist violence at demonstrations organised by the defence leagues in other parts of the country.

Examining the evidence in the special programme, Judge Mark Powell QC said: "It's mindless, it's racist, the purpose of what they are doing is to inflame racial hatred. I think from what you have shown me it is criminal behaviour and no doubt something that the police would want to look at." //

Until the criminality is purged from these movements, should their inflamitary marches be outlawed?

'Jeff Marsh, who uses a variety of aliases and wears a balaclava to broadcast online.'

LOL, sounds like an CBer ;-)

how on earth are the Welsh Defence League aligned with the English Defence League? Shouldn't they be at each other's throats somewhere outside Hereford?

You've lost me - are we talking about Muslim extremists or the EDL?
Ban them both.

From the BBC what do you expect

>> BBC was biased: Director General Mark Thompson admits a 'massive' lean to Left<<

Absolutely not banning groups gives them the amunition to play the martyr card and should only be done if absolutely necessary.

Remember Gerry Adams' words being spoken by an actor on every news program?

Made the Government look a complete bunch of idiots

The EDL regularly condemn troublemakers who try and infiltrate their numbers.

Yet on the other hand the UAF seem to encourage them, the 'Far Left', the Communists and other factions, as could be seen during the Student riots.

/// Two admitted involvement in racist violence at demonstrations organised by the defence leagues in other parts of the country ///

Is 'Racial' violence any more serious than 'Civil' violence?

/// Judge Mark Powell QC said: "It's mindless, it's racist, the purpose of what they are doing is to inflame racial hatred.///

That could equally be said against those that abused our returning troops, and the poppy burners.

No Judge, the purpose of what they are doing is to rid our country of Muslim Extremists.

I'm not sure that having a Welsh defence league does anything to help the English one. It was only a few years ago that Welsh nationalists burnt down property bought up by English immigrants. If they had their way they would construct a larger version of Offas Dyke.

Burn the Koran, burn a poppy what's the difference?
Both designed to offend, both succeeded, that's why extremists need to be marginilised.
The U.A.F and the E.D.L are two sides of the same coin.
If the E.D.L want to rid Britain of Islamic fundamentalism as they claim, why did they rush down to Portsmouth (I think it was) to demonstrate outside a Mosque about poppy burning, when if the goon who'd organised it had asked, they said they'd have been only too happy to attend?
In the recent programme about an E.D.L demonstration, one of the E.D.L protestors shouted that he wanted "no more filthy Mosques" do you agree with that statement?
How does that fit into the E.D.L's agenda?

( Burn the Koran, burn a poppy what's the difference? )

the nutter who was going to burn the koran was talked out it
the poppy burning and shouting insults when decent folk held a two minute silence went ahead
thats the difference

Well said Dr.F.
