The EDL and Anders Breivik

[sp1814]

Will the EDL find it difficult to shrug off its reputation of being an extremist group when members voice support for the mass murderer Anders Breivik?

Maybe Bazwillrun means the national heritage and cultural identity of the Anglo-Saxon persuasion, the Angles and Saxons both being well-known and ancient tribes of ancient Brita...oh, hang on....

it's off the thread, the point, it isn't about speaking or not speaking, but some on here are just having a go at one another, sp, baz, you, others, why?
It's a debate, it is interesting, also quite scary that there are more people out there like him, who are willing to kill totally innocent people for an ideology or is it?

Maybe some people do feel sidelined by the amount of people who have poured into Britain in the last 40/50 years, the fact it has changed the face of Britain that i grew up in and London out of all proportion, why can one not say that if it's what you think and feel.

The question isn't about your freedom of speech, it's about the wisdom of supporting terrorism.

I don't see the difference between supporting the 7/7 bombers and supporying Anders Breivik.

If someone wants to halt immigration, they are free (in our democratic society)to vote for a party with that as part of its manifesto.

As I have explained before, unlike some on here I have a life , I don't sit on here all day.

As to your question, you know exactly what i mean, and if you think I can be baited that easily then you're just kidding yourself.

SP, I don't think Em10 is saying she wants to halt immigration - and neither do I think she's supporting terrorism, Anders Breivik, the EDL, or the BNP. She's just picking up on something someone else said earlier - and she's right. Although I don't live in London now, I am a Londoner and the face of some areas of London has changed out of all recognition over the past several years - and some of the indigenous people do feel sidelined. She's just stating an undeniable fact - and one, that if we are ever to get to the root of the problem, should be acknowledged. Denying it won't cure it.

SP< are you some sort of fool, did you really think that was what i was advocating.

Londoner born and raised, and have seen this city or some parts turned into no go areas, please don't think that it was always like that because it wasn't. Stop immigration, no chance, not now, it's far too late, and we have idiots who have sat in Parliament and let all this happen without a bye or leave. Quite frankly when i saw your reply i wanted to just throw in the towel.
