The BNP Nazi at the heart of the EDL

Chris Renton, BNP activist, was on the English Defence League march in London last week

Chris Renton on the English Defence League march last week
The man in this picture is Chris Renton. He was photographed on the racist English Defence League (EDL) march on parliament last Friday. Renton is a well known member of the British National Party (BNP)—and he is also on the leadership team of the EDL.

In fact, Renton was one of the group’s founders. He runs the EDL’s Facebook pages and set up the EDL website and forums. The BNP and EDL deny any links with each other. But the fact that this BNP Nazi is central to the EDL proves otherwise.

In a radio interview in July 2009, then EDL spokesperson Paul Ray confirmed that Renton was a BNP activist. And Renton is not the only fascist central to the EDL. Davy Cooling, the administrator of the EDL’s Luton Facebook site, is also on the BNP membership list. Many other known BNP members were spotted on the EDL’s march in London.

This is more proof that the EDL is a dangerous organisation with fascism at its core. Every activist must get to Bolton on Saturday 20 March to stop the EDL’s next racist rampage.

    He looks and acts like a BNP member, pointing out people to the police, expecting the authority to take their side.

    There is a very simple question to be asked if we are to take Griffin's claims of BNP non-involvement in the EDL at all seriously. Will Renton be expelled or even disciplined?

    Griffin cannot proscribe an organisation then turn a blind eye (npi) to one of his members leading that organisation, and still expect his denials to be taken seriously.

    EDL co-founder Paul Ray said on his blog that Chris Renton is now (quote) "de-facto COMMANDER of the EDL"

    The BNP's relationship with the street fighting thugs of the EDL needs to be rammed home before the elections.

    "There is a very simple question to be asked if we are to take Griffin's claims of BNP non-involvement in the EDL at all seriously. Will Renton be expelled or even disciplined?"

    Doubt it, He'll just say that Renton is acting in a personal capacity and the BNP, in the past, banned people from posting on Stormfront but loads still do.

    Expecting fascists to act honourably and in good faith on just about anything is pointless. They are liars and cheats to a man.

    I cant make out if Renton is pointing at the camera man, or mocking the asian Policeman.
