It doesn't need to be a 'covert labour operation' to smear them (although it is interesting to point out that the UAF, the EDL's chief opponents, are so well connected to the Labour Party it might as well be described as the party's paramilitary wing). But the media bias is such that most people say they oppose the EDL, you actually have to look beyond the media and do you're own research to uncover the truth. It is so obvious when you do that even if you don't agree with what the EDL stands for, many of the smears against them are outrageous concoctions that are backed up using very selective use of evidence to the exclusion of other sources.

dude, i have done the research. saying "if only you did more research you'd agree with me" is a load of bullshit.


here's a life lesson for you: some people will never agree with you no matter how "convincing" you find your "evidence" to be. suggesting THEY just "don't get it" makes you look pompous.

Right, I'll state this clearly, so there is not confusion. I broadly agree with the EDL's strictly non-racist, non-fascist aims in combating the spread of Islamism through non-violent protest and petitioning. I think Tommy Robinson is a courageous man who is risking his life and has thrust himself into a limelight he didn't want to highlight a serious issue. I believe that some members of the EDL are certainly racist, but that is not what the EDL is about at all. OK? You might think that highlighted examples of self-identified EDL members acting like morons should define what the EDL is about, but I disagree. Its kind of like saying the USA stands for white supremacy on the basis that there are numerous videos on the internet showing white people saying and doing racist things about black people.

You have again failed to back up your insinuation that Tommy Robinson is a racist and a fascist, and instead of admitting you are wrong or providing evidence to back it up, probably because you can't, you have thrown your teddy out of the pram and have decided that you suddenly don't care anymore, despite the fact you saw fit to make such an insinuation earlier. If you don't care about whether someone is something, don't bother to pass an opinion if you aren't prepared to defend it.
