Reclassify the EDL


Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to learn any lessons of the appalling events in Norway to ensure that this country is "more secure against horrific outrageous like this".

He could make a start by ordering the Home Office to reclassify the English Defence League. Despite the violence and racial hatred whipped up by this street gang the authorities refuse to label the group as "far-right extremists". As a result the police do not monitor the group like they do dozens of Muslim organisations and take little interest in its activities. One police officer who has responsibility for monitoring extremists recently told us that the EDL was only an issue when it had a knock-on effect on Islamist extremist groups.

With evidence pointing to Anders Breivik's admiration for the EDL and an increasingly militant tone being taken by EDL units across Britain, surely it is time for the authorities finally to take this threat seriously.

I'll be writing more about this shortly but let's hope it doesn't take an atrocity for the authorities finally to act against the EDL.

After the Live Leak EDL video, EDL members have posted sickening racist pro-murder comments, blaming Islam for the killings, even going as far as justifying them.

I tried to report the posters for using the internet for race hate, however I am not able to do so, as only Live Leak members are able to flag up pro-EDl neo-Nazi comments.

If anyone is signed up to Live Leak, please can you report the evil racist YouTube-style comments s they can be removed, thanks. I don't want to be a member of Live LOeak if they refuse to censor racism.

Fuck the american constitution of free speech. It does nothing but allows hate speech.

Live Leak are not any better than fuckin' YouTube

The Home Office, Police and MI5 permit the EDL to spread hate cos they shore up the War On Terror, including the extremely unpopular War On Afganistan, just like they allow the poppy burners to have free reign, to stage-manage popular opinion behind unpopular wars.

Why don't the police "interview" Alan Lake for publishing his final solution on his blog?????????????

Alan Lake's "Final Solution" Manifesto probably incited the Oslo killer to murder socialists who speak up against racism.

In the same way, the government at the time refused to act against Oswald Mosley.

Organised racism serves a state purpose.

The Oslo killer is rumoured to have been a friend of Alan Lake, which should now be investigated by Interpol.

Given articles such as this appearing - http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/07/a-norwegian-view-on-the-mutation-of-jihad/242403/ - trying their damnedest to lay the blame for the attack at the feet of Islam, I fear the 'lessons' Mr Cameron will be seeking to learn will be to bash Muslims even more.

Because he'd have to do the same to far-left "extremists" who are just as dangerous. But he wont, because he just can't be bothered. He's far too busy helping big business and bankers fill their boots with our money and greasing palms in Europe for a job when he gets thrown out. Have a nice day!

When the EDL are knocking lumps out of each other at football matches they have dedicated CID, SOCA and Interpol attention with sentences to match when convicted. They join together to attack innocent people and suddenly they become irrelevant.
