Equally though, if people don't like the EDL they shouldn't give people reason to join them. Open borders, turning a blind eye to the setup of illegal sharia courts, and so-called "positive discrimination" have, in my opinion, all contributed to the far-right emerging. Let's not forget that the BNP were virtually unknown until Labour got into power.

The BNP has been around since 1982. They only became prominent in the media under Labour because there was a legal challenge to them only allowing white people to join, which they lost, and they briefly won some council seats, which they promptly lost

''Positive discrimination'' in terms of black people as far as I know has only been used in the US. Here it is an offence to discriminate against colour, disability or gender (although most employers do). The shariah courts thing was a scare story ran by the Daily Hate Mail and Express if I remember

Actually, Harriet Harman has tried to push though legislation which would make positive discrimination a prominent hiring policy, and it's been used in police recruitment (Avon Valley police removed all the White British candidates from its shortlist a few years back) and the town of Corby was stripped of a host of public sector jobs because its inhabitants were "too White and British".

Actually having read a few of the posts in this topic I've decided that this actually isn't a forum for me. If one of the admins and/or mods can ban this account I would be grateful. Cheers.

That would be a damn crime.

Simply laughable isn't it? What he's essentially saying is that if you are not white then you cannot be British.

You shouldn't leave just because some peoples opinions aren't the same as yours...Sorry If I've offended you in any way.

I think the left accuses the right of being racist a bit too much. Super Frank is conservative, but I don't think he's racist!

Sure you have your crazy right-wingers (the whole lot of them, in my opinion ), but I think we can all agree that the EDL does nothing good for the country of England. Unless you consider scaring off potential immigrants from moving to the country as a good thing.

Its actually illegal to ''positively discriminate''. The couple of examples you gave are isolated. The police one was a futile attempt to say ''Look we're not racist'' back in 2006, and they had to apologise. not sure about the Corby one -but it's true that there is institutionalised racism/sexism in almost every organisation so something should be done.

As far as that skank Harman, she tried to do anything to please the effete Bliar, and is nothing more than an attention seeking war criminal.

Any way to get back to the point - I dont see how any of the above has created a bunch of neanderthal redundant football hooligans into the EDL.

As I have said they were formed as a result of a small Muslim group in Luton. Their 'leader' is Stephen Bitter- lemon (tommy Robinson), currently in custody and on hunger strike, and a shadowy millionaire called Alan Lake has financed them.

if you think some of the views on this topic are in any way extreme you must have lived a very sheltered life , or be unprepared to tolerate any views that are at most ( Centre right ) its a debate if you dont like whats being said ( 100 % of it completely or at least partly in condemnation of the EDL )put your point across eloquently as you do in most of your posts . Please dont leave the forum over it you'd be a great loss in my opinion

Don't even care about everyones opinions on them are. This is quality!!

EDL criticising an organisation for being disrespectful? Hypocrisy at its finest.

(The post is true though, shame about the giant EDL name)

From what I understand, that poppy stuff isn't really 'disrespecting' any war heroes. It's just the basic guideline of not having international kits feature any political or religious or such other symbols or signs.

I used to hate all this poppy stuff -thought it was jingoistic war mongering bollocks. When I went through my dead dads stuff, all the photos and medals. I realised the sacrifice what he and others went through.

Not those wanky generals and poiticians, but the ordinary millions who fought and gave up their lives.

Thats what I wear the poppy for.
