So then, are the racist thugs proud of themselves today?
Hang on a minute. If you take for gospel everything the mainstream news has said about these events, then I daresay you don't even belong on ATS.
There is a clear agenda to misrepresent.
- The EDL have stated, repetitively, that they are non-racist, non-violent, non-political and only oppose extreme Islam. I even wrote an article for
their website pointing out the danger of far-right infiltration.
- The EDL were predominantly on the defensive yesterday. By all accounts it was the Asians and small number of UAF who turned up with the intention of
causing trouble.
- The EDL, despite having coordinated yesterday with the policy FULLY, were denied their rights of free speech and protest. Dozens were imprisoned in
buses and driven out of the city, others imprisoned in pubs, and none were allowed to demonstrate in one of the public places the police had agreed to
allow them to.
- By all accounts, the gangs of Asians had absolutely no restrictions on them. Is it any wonder that some of the EDL grew frustrated?
You, sir, have swallowed the establishment's lies about the EDL. They are non-racist, non-violent, non-political and only oppose extreme Islam. Any
troublemakers were most probably not members of the EDL, or were merely defending themselves against vicious Asian gangs. Yet for some reason you have
the audacity to say it was the EDL, not the Asians gangs who are dispicable.
