Wellingborough isn't in The North... it's barely in the midlands.

Sensationalist headlines.

6 years ago was what? 2007. So the chance of blackouts was higher then? I don't remember (excuse the pun) a single blackout back then

[doodab]

Mmmmmm, raspberry pie & nan.

Yum.

Whose nan are you going to dip in it?

[doodab]

A million pies? That should be about 3141592.7 then.

What about the first million digits of pi? Too long for a single post that, will need to go into the counting thread...

English Defence League leader and founder Tommy Robinson has left the group, saying he has concerns over the "dangers of far-right extremism".

The EDL organises protests across the UK against "radical Islam".

Mr Robinson said it was still his aim to "counter Islamist ideology", although "not with violence but with better, democratic ideas".

Several senior figures have quit, but an EDL spokesman said the group "will not die because they're walking away".

The EDL occupies the space left by the BNP. Nick Griffin wrote 20 years ago on the election of the first BNP councillor:

The electors of Millwall did not back a post modernist rightist party, but what they perceived to be a strong, disciplined organisation with the ability to back up its slogan "Defend Rights for Whites" with well-directed boots and fists

The problem the BNP has always faced is the pull between the desire for electoral success (with its nice MEP salaries and perks) and its core supporters' desire for 'boots and fists' street fascism. When it went the way of an electoral strategy, it tried to keep the core in check with the promise of electoral breakthrough but those promises have not delivered. The EDL fills that vacuum.
