EDL watch

That isn't the UAF demo, that's a breakaway to get to Bury Park before most people turned up at the main demo. That's pretty much just London and Manchester if iirc.
 
So the next Demo is only 6 weeks after the last one, i'm sure most people would be pushed to do another one so close? and with the numbers so low on the last one, however much they push the 6k number the people that where there must know it was a joke with such low numbers.

would be amazed if they got over 1500-2000 for the next one.

Also been reading about lots of in fighting and rivalry between divisons which kicked off with fights on Saturday.
 
The EDL didn't face a kettle, only a plod escort from the start point to the square for speeches. Apparently the Sunderland Div were pissed as farts - it's all in this thread from Saturday.
 
yeah, now they are planning massive fights for the next one... lol

i also read someone stole a collections bucket that was going around.... doh !

Uncritical report on them in the Daily Star today.

That's not even uncritical - that's pretty supportive. Although their numbers are shit, their media op has stepped up a bit. The Star have run other semi sympathetic stuff. FWIW, the star and express have pulled out of being subject to Press Complaints Commission because they're so committed to the agenda of fictionalising right wing bullshit. It is an indication of the type of appeal the EDL has - barely literate and easily fooled.

That twat Robinson has been all over the media this last week. He's crap at it, but if they put another mug up there that could put a coherent sentence together it could spell a bit of trouble.
 
Brits dont need the EDL, not yet anyway. Still the publicity from the Star and the linkage with the boys is good for keeping them on the go. Martin needs to get our lot cranked up, hes got the clobber but needs to get the troops pumped up.
 
Are the daily star being paid to the EDL to do favourable polls for them or something? :confused: Seeing as they keep going on about it?
 
Daily Star makes the Sun look like Le Monde,along with the Express surely the worst tabloid in the country,no surprises to find they're owned by smut merchant Dirty Dick Desmond.
 
Most of the people on the edl facebook fan site seem to be people who've joined to argue with them.

It's just the monied promoting an alternative protest movement to anti-cuts imo. Same reason the rich always support the far right innit.
 
Yeah. I'd have guessed a lot of daily star readers would see through that shit tho, the people i know who bring that paper into my work buy it for sports/showbiz gossip and a bit of a laugh, not because they believe anything in it (and who replies to those polls ayway that apparently mean that the EDL's "policies" have 98% support? One man and his dog?) A lot of the people who the edl probably thought they could recruit, or possibly have already recruited, are going to realise that far-right explanations for "what's wrong" have fuck all to do with reality.
