The EDL: defending the right of all Englishmen to piss wherever they pleaseEDL activists claim they are fighting the rise of radical Islamists. But anti-terror police say the group's violent tactics are convincing British Muslims to join fanatical organisations waging a holy war against the West. The EDL, which emerged in 2009, has held several highly-charged demos that ended in trouble. Its hooligans threw a smoke bomb at police and clashed with anti-fascist protesters at a rally in Leicester last month.
Det Supt John Larkin, from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit, said the places where the EDL has been active have seen a worrying rise in Muslims joining radical groups.
Nick Lowles, of anti-racism group Hope Not Hate, said: "The time has come for the authorities to start taking the gloves off with the EDL. They are not a legitimate protest group. They are thugs bent on sowing division and hatred in communities across the country."

This is an awesome picture isn't it? "Keep St George in my heart, keep me English" - whilst I piss up against the walls of one the countries heritage set pieces.
Define irony.
I love that picture.
"EDL thugs help terror groups", but not as much as the terror groups help the EDL
