Fortnight of Turmoil Boils Over

The English Defence League (EDL) claims it has discharged with the services of the far-right English Nationalist Alliance. The ENA, a tiny but vocal group centred around Bill Baker and Roger Firth in London, has taken the lead in EDL demonstrations in the capital.

Antagonism between the two groups has been evident for some time and not just over Baker's lack of Stone Island attire. During last year's "poppy burning" clash in central London it was clear that with the arrival of EDL leaders Kevin Carroll and Stephen Yaxley Lennon, Baker and his smaller but equally vile entourage was somewhat put out when their demo was hijacked by Kevin & co.

Baker who occasionally has the appearance of a badly drawn comic book villain, was the organiser of the drunken demonstration in Dagenham a fortnight ago where a young EDL supporter tragically died after being hit by a train. Baker's excessive boasting about his links to British Nazis and his none too subtle proclamations on his Facebook page of things like "All Muslims Must Die" has left the under-fire EDL leadership, desperate to untangle itself from its myriad of Nazi and wannabe terrorist connections, to declare Baker as a "parasite of a man" who is "an embarrassment himself and his party, but also to those who don't see him for what he is: an opportunist."

Slightly more problematic for the EDL leadership is the war of words that has developed over their Jewish Division's links to terrorists. Roberta Moore who leads the Jewish Division has taken issue with public proclamations from the EDL distancing themselves from the link up with the Jewish Task Force (JTF).

The war of words now threatens to spill over with the Jewish Division claiming that there is a "witch hunt" against Moore on account of her being "a strong Jewish woman". Referring to the faceless administrators of the EDL's Facebook site and web admin's anti-JTF comments made to the Jewish Chronicle describing the Jewish Division as "too extreme" Moore apparently sees this as "one long attack" on herself. In response, the Jewish Division demand that Yaxley Lennon should "sack the Nazis from the admin and apologise to Roberta" who it warns, "has powerful allies in the US and in politics".

Perhaps the removal of Baker's ENA was one step in removing the Nazis that seem to upset the Jewish Division so much. In response to his own banning from the EDL, Baker has surfaced this morning to attack Yaxley-Lennon's PA, Hel Gower.

Gower could be about to earn her stripes as being the fall-gal for all that has happened in the EDL's rocky past fortnight. Gower responded herself to the Jewish Division's attacks on the EDL's admins' by asking "why is she (Moore) talking in the third person as though it isn't her making the comments, dozy tart."

Joint EDL leader Kevin Carroll denied there was any major problem within the organisation, describing it all as "internet talk" made up by "Bolsheviks and hard-line Socialists.

"Roberta is a good girl, she does her own thing. We just can't be tied up with a group like JTF. All this will blow over." If anything Kev, it looks like this is going to run and run.

If they want to sack the nazis they need to get rid of themselves, the EDL leadership and it's not-so-secret love for everything BNP.

Plus the link-up with the intensely Christian Voice is damaging.

The EDL seems to have been ditched by Richard Desmond whose Daily Express is openly supporting UKIP in Barnsley. A BNP leaflet I've seen doesn't mention Barnsley once on it. It doesn't say much at all and looks nothing more than a centrally-produced leaflet where the only local feature is a picture of the candidate. But she says she cares albeit not what she cares about.

"Roberta Moore" on account of her being "a strong Jewish woman".

Isn't she a self declared Pagan?

What evidence is there that she's actually Jewish at all? Only her say-so which isn't worth much.

What powerful allies in the US?

Pamela Geller?

A woman who's looks to have had more plastic sugery than the late Michael Jackson and who claims that President Obama is the love-child of the late, great Malcolm X!

This is hardly likely, given that Roberta Moore is herself a founding member of the ENA's ruling committee and holds the post of "Co Chairperson, Political Liaison" in the ENA.

When the Jewish Division call on the EDL leadership to "sack the Nazis from the admin" they are evidently pushing the same line as Bill Butler in his reply to the EDL, where he attacks Helen Gower, head of the EDL's admin team, for having links to Combat 18.

The question that should be put to the EDL leadership is this - if the ENA have been proscribed and Bill Baker has been banned, why hasn't Roberta Moore been expelled too?
