A teenager from north-west London who is a prominent member of the English Defence League (EDL) is facing jail over his role in a pre-arranged fight between football hooligans.
Joel Titus, 18, took part in the bloody brawl between Brentford and Leyton Orient supporters outside Liverpool Street station in central London in May last year. The A-level student was captured on CCTV hurling objects at rivals and fighting over a wooden pole with another thug.
Titus had previously been cautioned for battery after punching a journalist at a right-wing demonstration against the "Islamification of Europe" in December 2009, the Old Bailey heard. Earlier this year he was found guilty of threatening behaviour after snarling "f*** off" at a police officer who tried to break up a fight.
He is reported to be a youth organiser for the EDL and has appeared on the BBC Newsnight programme talking about his role in protests.
Titus, of North View, Pinner, appeared in court alongside five other men, all of whom admitted a charge of affray at earlier hearings. They are: Dean Wells, 24, of Isleworth, west London; Steven Donovan, 20, of Hayes, Middlesex; Andrew Hudson, 26, of Hornchurch, Essex; David Mitchell, 19, of Littlehampton, West Sussex; and Thomas Armstrong, 24, of Woodford Green, Essex.
All six were remanded in custody to be sentenced on Wednesday.

Didn't realise that Titus was still involved in the EDL.
Titus was always with the EDL. Most EDL claim to have "left" whilst still playing a huge role behind the scenes.
Poster Boy Joel Titus will be called an Ex-member by the EDL, much like when BNP members are disowned by Nick Gri££in after commiting a criminal offense (not linked to beating up anti-racist protestors, which Tierney has persuaded Nasty Nick is legitimate).

The American teapartiers must be choking on their darling's englisher darjeeling, knowing the EDL they once claimed to suport are nothing more than a gang of lowlife convicts.
