Something that combined analisis of the nature of the EDL and the left's reaction to it and the failure to pose a credible alternative.
I haven't checked out all the forum, yet, so maybe there is already something along those lines..

No amount of cajolery...
Having watched some of the recent interviews etc regarding the EDL I can only get the impression "tommy" is trying to cultivate that image deliberately ...

So presumably, the EDL don't want Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, Rastafarians, Orthodox Christians, or vegetarians here either?

He's a business owner isn't he? Culturally working class maybe, but economically petit bourgeois.

Which is a class that can be won over to either the workers or the bosses side.
A fair proportion of those involved or supporting the revo left in Italy in the 1970s ended up a small bar or shop owners

Exeter EDL protest;
This was organized by UAF and others. It wasn’t just a coming together of local people and did not miraculously appear out of thin air.
Last summer the EDL were threatening to have a march on the Mosque – we had a meeting that agreed to hold a celebration of diversity in opposition. The EDL then backed off from this.
In early January the EDL had 6 of their members walking up and down the High Street in balaclavas. This was in the run up to Luton – so we decided to leaflet the footie ground. 15 of us put in 1000 lealfets – the EDL id’d one person who subsequently got threats + abuse on facbook.
While trawling facebook we discovered they were planning “ban the burka” protest – seemed bigger. UAF has big email list and called organizing meeting – some unions, Labour Party, students who had occupied the Uni and the Woodcraft Folk attended. Counter protest called and publicized by email.
I have sympathy with the comments about needing a political alternative to undercut the EDL. We decided to call a “celebration” cos people wanted something positive + Big, wanted kids involved etc. We did a leaflet (3000 given out) that as well as saying who the EDL are we also included section;
“The truth is we all face attacks on our jobs and pay…
The present government is trying to cut people’s pay, put up taxes and cut services – all to pay for a crisis caused by the bankers. And yet the EDL have nothing to say about this - their only answer is to scapegoat Muslims for all the problems in society. “
