We won’t hold our breath

Paul Prodromou aka Pitt

It seems the EDL may owe us a few words of gratitude, but we won’t hold our breath

Last week we pointed out that the Essex EDL organiser Paul Prodromou aka Paul Pitt had found a new bosom buddy, well known neo Nazi Eddie Stamton.Eddie has become a regular at EDL events and is particularly close to Prodromou and other leading members of the EDL.

Stamton, who has also gone by the names of Stampton and Stanton during a long and positively criminal lifetime, has been involved with far-right politics since he was a teenager. As well as the hard line, Hitler worshipping British Movement and Combat 18, Eddie was also once the National Activities Organiser and London organiser with the miniscule British People’s Party (BPP) which turned out a plethora of paedophiles and wannabe terrorists when they were not updating their “Redwatch” website.

Well thanks to our article it seems the EDL have actually taken some notice and declared Stamton persona non grata.

In a long and tedious posting on the EDL website they explained “On September 11th, a group of EDL supporters went to pay their respects outside the US Embassy, and demonstrate against the presence of a group of Muslim extremists who, within earshot of victims’ families, were mocking those who died in the attack on the World Trade Center. Unfortunately, we have learned that amongst the group was an individual named Eddie Stamton, a relatively well-known neo-Nazi, tied to organisations which, amongst other things, have called for homosexuality to made illegal and have made a point of denying the Holocaust.”

They continued “We do not usually like to name individuals,but given Stamton’s known association with the Redwatch website, we believe that this time it is justified. Eddie Stamton, and any other neo-Nazis, are not welcome at EDL demonstrations, and will be ejected whenever they are identified.”

The EDL have a track record however of not carrying out their threats when it comes to the banning of their own members. The organisation is overflowing with a menagerie of neo Nazis, pub racists and rank and file bigots so it is doubtful that this sentiment which is little more than window dressing will stick.

There are already rumblings within Essex EDL that Stamton is a trusted and loyal friend and that he will be allowed to attend EDL events despite what the EDL leadership say.

The only way is Essex apparently.

Hope not hate

An Apology

Yesterday we published a blog titled " Some strange returns and culinary confusion"

In this blog we described how the EDL's Essex organiser Paul Prodromou had found a new friend, the well known Neo Nazi Eddie Stamton.

As part of the article we published a poor quality black and white photograph with the caption "Stamton ( With Flag) on Brick Lane.

It appears we made a mistake and we apologise.

It wasn't Brick Lane after all, it was however The Bethnal Green road.

So just for Eddie Stamton and his new found friends within the EDL we republish the original photograph.

And while we remember we have also found these photos of a young Stamton at a British Movement summer camp, along with a rather telling one of Stamton in his bedroom.

Next you'll be telling us Eddie that you don't run an online merchandising outfit selling Neo Nazi memorabilia.

Some strange returns and culinary confusion...

I’m sure by now everyone is aware of the disgraceful scenes played out by the EDL and their equally vile half cousins MAC (Muslims against crusades) while people were remembering the near 3,000 victims of the September 11th terror attacks on its 10th anniversary on Sunday.

In an equal display of disrespect a group of beer fuelled EDL supporters attempted to mount a counter protest, chanting racist songs as they normally do.

In this photo from the day we can see Paul Prodromou aka Paul Pitt the Essex organiser laughing at the whole shameful affair. But who is the bald chap admiringly looking into Paul’s eyes?

Why it’s none other than hard-line neo-Nazi Eddie Stamton.

Stamton, who has also gone by the name of Stampton and Stanton during a long and positively criminal lifetime, has been involved with far right politics since he was a teenager. As well as the hard-line, Hitler worshipping British Movement and the now geriatric Combat 18, Eddie was also once the National Activities Organiser and London organiser with the miniscule British Peoples Party (BPP) which turned out a plethora of paedophiles and wanna be terrorists when they were not updating their pathetic “Redwatch” website.

Now that Eddie has surfaced with the apparent non-Nazi, Israel loving EDL I guess we’ll no longer be seeing him down Brick Lane in east London with a swastika flag like he did in the good old days?

The EDL's other serious 'non-Nazi', their leader and former BNP member Stephen Yaxley has apparently returned to Luton after his bout at Her Majesty's pleasure and a dubious hunger strike.

According to the local paper in Luton, Lennon headed straight for Nandos, the world famous up market chicken eatery. Lennon was reportedly very hungry having allegedly refused all food while being kept on remand for alleged bail breeches.

One of the reasons he gave for his supposed hunger strike was that some prisons serve Halal meat and Lennon, rather than allow himself a vegetarian diet decided to make a martyr of himself.

Well I am pleased to report that Nandos in Luton sells Halal chicken. And Halal chicken only: http://www.nandos.co.uk/restaurant/luton
