Just as we can’t forge links with the Islamists [/quote]<br /><br /> The EDL dosen't bomb innocent people on trains.To be honest I am getting slightly tired of intellectuals demonising the English working class.The way people go on you would think they were talking about a bunch of animals.Ironically it is the English working class that is putting its life on the line in Afghanistan to stop extremists trying to re-introduce Sharia law.The majority of sqaddies are like the guys you see in the EDL,like to drink and don't mind the odd fight but underneath they are decent guys who will step up to the line when duty calls.Of course the EDL has a few bad apples in its ranks but that holds true for any organisation that has thousands of members.But as an organisation it is not racist and it is not fascist.<br /><br /> The Guardianistas hate the English working class and look down their noses at them so you will never get an objective view of the EDL from such people.The only way to understand them is to meet a few of them and listen to their concerns.There is a big difference between being a nationalist and being a fascist or a racist.Whilst I don't agree with everything they say I do respect them for getting out on the streets and making their voices heard.I am not too sure what the chants of "Engerland" are going to achieve but the EDL has little experience of organising political demonstrations and are just doing what they do best,football chants that give them some sense of brotherhood and belonging.Football in this country is very tribal and rival fans rarely mix so they unite in the only way they know and that is through the flag of England.Its got more to do with sport than fascism.The fact they aren't fighting each other is a sign that they are serious about what they are doing and have obviously put differences to one side.<br /><br /> Right wing organisations in this country are Combat18,BFF,UBA,NF,and BNP.The Metropolitan police chief has clearly stated that the EDL is not a far right organisation.Tonynoreply@blogger.com
