EDL watch

They obviously did fuckall research before allowing the wanker on air, I could have done a better fucking job myself.
 
Paxman: 'Hang-on, that sounded like a threat?'

Yaxley-Lennon: 'Blah-de, blah-de-blah' (licking lips).

Paxman: 'OK'
 
Because some people are too scared to take on their actual arguments so try discredit them in patronising ways....

I'd love to hear a coherent argument from 'em.
The NF may have been deep-fried scheissefotzen, but at least they were vaguely coherent when it came to arguing their position. With the EDF, the politics seems to vary from member to member, even your line on Islam.
 
Thought paxman really let the show down just then barring pulling him up on the threat sounding comment at the end. His research appeared to be based on facebook comment/pictures, very poor. I guess he found it beneath him.
 
At the very least when Lennon talked about rejecting violence he could have brought up his convictions for it.
 
There was the researched stuff beforehand. 'A year with the EDL' (must be a 'special' due?) and Yaxley-Lennon in Norway? Not sure it'll have had an impact?
 
Do I really need to go into them? I'm presuming you're already familiar with them if you're posting on this thread...

Well that's part of the problem surely? we hear one person say one thing, another member from another division says something else. One EDLer says "kill Pakis" another says "no, just them Islamists, not the good Pakis". It's a bit of a shambles, if you're honest.
 
There were loads of Nazi symbolism around punk,post punk and Factory Records.It was like being a bit daring about he past. The rubbing point was that the Nazis at the time couldn't find a band who really believed in all that stuff and who produced any decent music. I remember one of the NF 'theoretical' magazines ( I think Harrington wrote the article) wishing that there was a racial,nationalist band whose music people genuinely liked.

Instead, they got Skrewdriver. :D
 
That reads terribly smug to me. The edl bloke got more points across than most Oxbridge gents get past Paxman in an interview 3x as long.

only because he'd done a couple of mahoosive fat lines just before! :eek:

but yes he did get a 'lot' across and it could have gone worse for him, paxo was weak and should've challenged him more
