Earlier this year the leaders of the United Synagogue, Reform, Liberal and Masorti communities, as well as the Board of Deputies and the Spanish and Portuguese Jews' congregation, highlighted their opposition to the EDL's tactics and called on the far right organisation to refrain from using Jewish and Israelis symbols in its campaigns.
Under the umbrella of the Council of Imams and Rabbis of the Joseph Interfaith Foundation, they rejected in particular the EDL's "efforts to incite hatred and antagonism in our society", its attempts to "foment violence" and "drive a wedge between the Jewish community and our Muslim neighbours".
They attempted to draw a line under the EDL's efforts to attract Jewish membership, which reached a peak with a rally "to oppose Islamic fascism" outside the Israeli embassy last year where EDL members waved Israeli flags. The EDL has a "Jewish Division", but it has been beset by infighting and is understood to have only a handful of Jewish members.
James Brokenshire, the Home Office Minister responsible for policy regarding the EDL, has now sent a letter of response to Mehri Niknam, director of the Council of Imams and Rabbis.
"We welcome your positive action to counter the divisive influence and minimise the impact of EDL activity," he said. "As a government our position is clear, we will not tolerate groups like the EDL who spread hate, seek to divide us and deliberately raise community fears and tensions."
He said the government would continue to condemn the EDL's views and actions when necessary and work with police and local agencies. Mr Brokenshire added that the government trusted local agencies to "put in place suitable local measures to counter the influence and minimise the impact of EDL activity.
"We stand ready to provide advice and support where it is requested."

Fucking bullshit. They know that the EDL cause disunity in the working class and fully encourage their divisiveness.
Shit result for the BNP last night only 2.3% of the vote, ha, ha ,ha!

If I remember correctly, the BNP vote in yesterday's Feltham and Heston by election was 2.3% against 3.5% at the last general election.
Quite a pleasing result although I would have preferred them to get less.

The BNP will always get a few hundred in a by-election based upon their name-recognition alone.
At a time of austerity, a crap economy and continued anti-immigrant tension whipped up by the media, the fascist vote should be going up not down.
It's a crap result.
They know that the EDL cause disunity in the working class and fully encourage their divisiveness.
That's why they are secretly happy that such groups exist in the background, although they don't want them too get too large.
Things haven't got so bad (yet) that they have to turn to the fascists.

A timely reminder from 2010 that all along the EDL leadership including the pretend-Jewish knowingly covered up their members Nazi allegiances.

Now we know Odinist Moore is as much as Jewish as a McDonalds Bacon McBagel, but it goes to show that the EDL have always engaged in window dressing.
