English Defence League Targets Bradford March As the 'Big One'

[Witta]

The EDL started in Luton last year and has become the most significant far-right street movement in the UK since the National Front in the 1970s. It claims to be a peaceful, non-racist organisation opposed only to "militant Islam". But many of its demonstrations have ended in confrontations with the police after some supporters became involved in violence as well as racist and Islamophobic chanting.

The group has held demonstrations across the country but its plan to get thousands of activists to Bradford is its most provocative yet. Anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000 EDL supporters are expected to descend on the city on the final weekend of this month and there are fears of widespread unrest.

I've already booked my train tickets for Bradford next Saturday

Nice one, Fortress!

However, I was looking on the BNP website yesterday and thought they were saying that the march had been banned. Maybe I misunderstood?

[Witta]

Marching has been banned but not static protesting, the police will still have to march the EDL to the site of the static protest though.

I've missed the previous 5 but I'm going on this one, if other people are thinking like me this one will be big.

This bbc documentary gives you an idea of what an EDL demo is like

EDL

It's really just an excuse for a piss-up.

I don't know why the EDL believe that being kettled in by the police for hours on end and making moronic chants is ever going to achieve anything.

Besides, what is it that the EDL are trying to achieve? Bugger all! They're just a bunch of moaning drunks.

If this is their idea of "the big one" they are soon going to find out how pointless and ridiculous their campaign actually is.

and Fortress Germania, I'd wear shin-pads and a stab-vest if I were you, because the people of Bradford won't be too welcoming....


"one, one, one brain cell!"

It's really just an excuse for a piss-up.

And a fight. If not the EDL proper, then the stupid hooligans that claim to be.

First I won't trust the BBC. They are obviously a propaganda organ of the power that be in England. I noticed they focussed on a few negroes among the crowd and an obvious ME man. Why is that if the majority is obviously young white english males?

A few people obviously drink beer, I don't know how much, but the general mass doesn't look drunk.

Sometimes it is also difficult to figure who a demonstrators and who are counter-demonstrators. I saw an Israel flag and the burning of a swastika flag but wasn't able to attribute to either group.

Obviously they tried to get a connection to Geert Wilders but I believe he hasn't been on one of those demonstrations. He simply seems to be from the same political spectrum as a friend of Israel and enemy of islamic immigration.

The numbers of angry young brits are encouraging and I wish them to succeed and to grow.

I am not really an England expert but that seems to be a positive sign of some life on the Island.

Most of them are football supporters, but the EDL in their thousands go to cities that have been colonised and where no go zones for whites have formed through muslim brutality, wave english flags and sing "We want our country back". Whether there is a single zionist flag here or there is immaterial to the overall message they send out.

“I noticed they focussed on a few negroes among the crowd and an obvious ME man. Why is that if the majority is obviously young white english males?”

I also noticed this

The idea of blacks in England shouting out ‘we want our country back’ is just as appalling as the Islamization of it.

The EDL is a step in the right direction though

I'm against the EDL and the BNP, they act like the SA did leading up to the Night of the Long Knives. They are not organized or respectable as a real political party, and I looked at the BNP website, they charge to join, that certainly is new...

Of course they charge to join - their a political party and political parties always need money. It's not exactly a secret - almost all political parties charge membership fees.

I get your point about the EDL but could you explain your criticism of the BNP?
