EDL Clashing with the police in London

[Ancient Citizen]

I don't think many people on here are EDL supporters.

But there are so many threads about them here.

Soldier gets beheaded in public.

Let's deflect and point a finger at the EDL citing them as "AS BAD IF NOT WORSE".

It's lazy and predictable.

indeed

except how can they be as bad or worse when they don't kill and behead people in the street, or blow them up on public transport, or plot to bring down planes or attempt to blow up people engaging in their democratic right to protest etc etc

they are not even in the same league as the murdering jihadist scum

Whenever there is an atrocity committed by islamist nutters, the immediate response seems to be to rant and scream at the EDL, a small group of inadequates and no nothings. Apparently, no one need be concerned by 'A tiny minority' of Jihadist fruitcakes who have murdered and maimed but we must concern ourselves with an equally tiny minority, who, apart from being a nuisance haven't murdered anyone.

They are right wing thugs who attract the lowest for m of life. They would have been against Jews in the 30's and the west Indians in the 50's. A racist is a racist in any era. Fuck em, solidarity between all races. Not division. Just an aside , where does that nazi Robinson get all his money? Does he a actually work?

Can I just ask why the EDL are given so much publicity?

So a thousand, yes 1,000 people out of a population of 50 million +, turned out on their march/protest, the second coming of the Nuremberg rallies it is NOT!! Yet people are acting as though they're about to plunge the Country into a Civil war, muslim against non muslim. I think things need to be put into perspective.

For the same reason Islamic nutters get a lot of publicity, despite also bring a small minority. The press sensationalise.

I was present at the 911 memorial in 2011 at grovesnor square. I kid not, here were 40 Islamic protestors max.
