I've frequented a Polish social club, with patriotic symbols on the wall, but never came across an organised group of around 200 Polish Nazi's before. Anyway, I preferred the Serbian club.

Doesn't operate that way, its indivual recruitment and small networks. Some of the B&H arrests a few years ago led to Police nazis being housed with other Poles in prison over here who were often very much opposed to their views.

There have been a handful of cases where Polish parents have objected to black teachers in school but this was about 8/9 years ago.

Vast majority of Poles like anywhere else want nothing to do with the far right.

Last year there was a picture of a group of far right Poznan hoolies , the Terror Machine,posing about how hard they were which became a cult gay photo repeated on loads of sites. They were subsequently a laughing stock amongst other Police hoolies.

I saw that, didn't know what it was but they looked to be a rum bunch. There were some enthusiastic bongo players; I couldn't tell if they were part of proceedings or not

The Prevent strategy was originally focussed on Islamic extremism being the top international and national threat but the arrests of far right members and others with access to firearms and bombs, plus appearing to be even handed meant that very quickly local strategies embrassed the far right and later in some areas republican dissidents. Channel which is the programme that focuses on individuals thought to be at risk of violent extermism has always had EDL and other far right in its sights. This may be because local agencies are far more adept at identifying the white far right than they are the Islamic right .There is an infrequent poster on here who was/is doing an MA on it.

The Prevent strategy was reveiwed in 2011 and the far right formally acknowledged. Some groups had lobbied for this ( there was a particular attempt to get Blood and Honour listed), it has been suggested that there was a trade off between getting support from Muslim groups for Prevent and widening the scope to the far right.In most cases it had already been added locally.

The article you read actually mentions those jailed for domestic terrorism most of which are far white right extremist groups rather than EDL as well as the Channel project.

I'd be careful about anyone expressing glee about these strategies focussing on the EDL. Once you get that sort of monitoriong you inevitably begin to look at and gather intelligence on the those opposed to the far right.

There was a further fund Connecting Communities under the last Labour government was focussed on those communities where the far right had a foot in.Griffin blamed that funding for contributing to them losing their seats in Barking.
 
i think after the debacle in manchester - infighting at train station, pub and in the pen, schisms and fallouts - that the EDL is over. the leaders aint allowed to go on the demos and many have left it as a bad job. the infidels are leading a rigtward swing but really with such small numbers, the game is over in a lot of peoples minds nationally. locally, antifascists will no doubt organise -sunderland, brighton etc - but the EDL are knacked and the splinter factions tiny.

Just a thought like, why is there no discussion about the imminent visit to Sunderland of the EDL/Infidels on March 30th?

There is also this coming up in Plymouth. https://www.facebook.com/events/554678841219378/. There's already a counter demo being organised. A nightclub owner in an interview buried in a story about the future of the club joked he would give the building to charity or even have it turned into a mosque. The headline was all mosques and bollocks and the EDL along with assorted twats decided to feed the troll.
 
plod took a while to get a handle on em tho steps! leicester, stoke etc, they badly managed it and fucked up in bolton too. they seem to be centred in the NE with biggs and his crap post-NF group and a bunch of fuckbugling arsetrumpets aligned to the infidels.
 
I always find the concept of Polish Nazis a bit of a strange one to grasp.

Especially as Hitler's appointed Gaulieter of 'The General Government Area' (as the Nazis termed the occupied part of Poland) said that Poles should "only be educated enough in order to read the road signs, so they don't get run over by our tanks".

Anyone proclaiming to be a fascist and a Polish patriot must be an absolute moron.
