Tbf, if they were aiming to either 'infiltrate' them, or keep an eye on them, they weren't very well dressed for it... Bit obvious like.
And if they were aiming for confrontation then I don't understand why they apparently just went in and sat down at a corner table with a pint.
Having said that, we only saw some edited footage, so who knows what context was missing.
Or was there a different purpose that I've not twigged maybe?

You think that was it?
Tbh I was inclined to think that they were trying to keep an eye on them, in order to text friends elsewhere to let them know when they made a move, and any info they overhead. In which case they stuck out too much for that to be very successful. But it was probably a spur of the moment thing rather than preplanned in that case I guess.
Eta: Reading back through the post trail - I don't agree they "made their cause look stupid though"

the local edl pages were all really happy with the bbc3 show* and thought it fair and balanced. they even said they were glad they weren't shown as thick chavs. what this says about them and the criticisms of the show from the left is...I'll let someone who isn't fucked off work think about that

Entirely appropriate on a thread about political violence and extremism then.
what the fuck is that meant to mean? If you have a problem with something i've said have the balls to say it clearly. So I changed my nickname - 5 years ago - get over it ffs. I've no idea what the krystallnacht shit is referring to either.
why what?

its an admission that I got you wrong, nothing more. Simmer down or else I'll come round your house and crap on your doorstep. Don't test me here, I've crapped on many a doorstep.
Just so long as you clear up after yourself.

A little.
They turned up and got into a ruck with the police.
From what I saw they didn't seem to achieve much other than to aggravate the EDL in the pub. That doesn't strike me as particularly positive. The EDL are permanently aggravated. Who would notice the difference?
That's why I asked what they were doing.

I preferred the doorstepdoostep version before you edited. I thought it was deliberate...

i watched it now, i thought it was the most positive show on the edl yet. if i was edl i'd be very happy with that. i would not be at all surprised if it attracted a few people to join or at least think about it. no politics, no opposition voices (apart from threats against the edl), no detail on why gail speight was attacked (i.e. the months of edl antagonism and attacks carried out by her and her cronies) no examination of the accusations of racism etc. i'm just happy no fucker watches bbc3.

I ended up feeling quite sorry for the young lass tbh. Her recruitment reminded me of how people are initiated into cults. She seemed vulnerable and didn't seem to have been encouraged into critical thinking, and was pulled in by the attraction of having a big group of mates who seemed to know lots of stuff that no one else knew.
