John X Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 They will gain support and by merely dismissing them as football hooligans and thugs you are misguided. Gain support how and from who? Even the BNP realised that being seig heiling, shouty football hooligans would lead nowhere and that to attract any more support they would need to put on suits. Even then they achieved limited success and are now in decline. Where do you see the EDL in two years time? John X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, if there was another terrorist attack, they'd gain much more support. But who knows. They'll be a thorn in the side of the government for a while yet...

I assume you mean a terrorist attack by a Muslim and not another by an EDL member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John X Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 For instance, if there was another terrorist attack, they'd gain much more support. In the unlikely event that there was another attack in the UK, people are much more likely to seek refuge in the state, police and security services than a disparate group like the EDL. The problem they have is they don't actually offer anything other than predjudice and hatred. Shouty blokes who offer no solutions! Hopefully in prison. Judging by the cocaine sweats on Robinson's face last night I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting a possession conviction to go with his assault conviction.

clairelaw123 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What do you think? I don't know you haven't specified. Maybe you should ask a few residents of Luton who they will fear most this coming Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep finding bombs in right-wing nut-jobs bedrooms. The cops have said the next terrorist atrocity may well be at the hands of the EDL scum, or idiots like them.

The EDL have people living in fear and I challenge anyone to go to one of their marches and come back still believing they are not a racist group.

The EDL are largely knuckle-dragging football holligans with a website. many members are exBNP so of course are paedophiles. But the police explicitly stated that far-right terrorism is a real threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
