EDL Whiteshirts on the streets of London

Yes, but sometimes it would be better if they were to defend the good old fashioned English value of the stiff upper lip.

I do believe you're looking for UKIP old bean.

And if they burn down a few mosques and loot a few Muslim businesses on the way, bonus! 'cause after all, they are the so-called "English Defence League".

Prick.

rather than the stiff arm salute

Don't get too fixated on old-fashioned English values. Rioting is a long-standing English tradition, going back long before the Gordon Riots. Any guesses who led a riot in 1894?

To be fair to them, I don't think they have done either of those things. They may be inflammatory, but they are still demonstrating within the letter of the law.

Overall yes, they haven't done either. But they are exploiting the situation for recruitment purposes. Going through some of their forums there is the usual blame on immigrants and immigrant policy and "reclaim what is ours" stuff.

"reclaim what is ours"

Yep, British Mosques for British Racists!

CoolerKing has been send to the cooler. Another humourless newbie - why do we attract them?

Because of your liberal views Adolf.

I must make it clear that he hasn't been banned because he's racist.

Did you watch Ken Livingstone on Newsnight the other night? Unfortunately everyone has an agenda and will try to play it to their benefit.

I'm not disagreeing with you that a vast number of them are racist, they are. However I feel society in general is inherently racist, everyone has stereotypes. Drunken Scotsman is a prime example.

Why should their views be any more abhorrent than someone being referred to as a Kafir?
