The EDL came to Leicester to highlight the two tier legal system that allows muslim women who racially attacked a white woman to get basically let off with a slapped wrist. If white women had used the drink excuse for committing GBH then they would certainly have gone to jail. Tommy Robinson speaks out against the unjust sentence laid down for four Somalian thugs.

Police attacking EDL for no reason
Man hurt in clash between EDL and youths in Whitechapel
So, youths is people of any age that are Muslim I take it? How much would the BBC bet me that many of the ‘youths’ are older than the EDL who they have no hesitation to name?
BBC:
The fight was near the East London Mosque- A man was taken to hospital and 15 people were arrested after a fight involving English Defence League supporters and youths in east London.
Police were called to reports of an assault in Whitechapel Road on Saturday afternoon when EDL supporters travelled to the area after a gathering in Barking.
The fight led to a larger disturbance, at one point involving several hundred people, and bottles were thrown.
All those arrested have been released.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the incident began at about 17:00 GMT when there were calls about a “large fight” in the area, which is near to the East London Mosque.
An ambulance was called to assist the injured man and he was taken to hospital. His injuries were said to be not life-threatening.
The police spokesman said passers-by became involved in the disturbance and some bottles were thrown.
Rushanara Ali, MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, said she visited the area after she became aware of police being called.
‘Increased presence’She said: “I was out visiting constituents when I saw the police cars.
“As far as I could see, the police were doing their job. There were a lot of young people around but the police are very adept at handling these situations.
“What I am saying to people is not to rise to the provocation.
“The police have reassured me that they will have an increased presence in the area.”
Police said the 15 people were arrested to prevent a breach of the peace.
EDL leader in lay-by attack
From Luton Today:
BEATEN: Stephen Lennon
Published on Wednesday 28 December 2011 17:29
POLICE have launched an investigation after English Defence League leader Stephen Lennon was violently assaulted in a lay-by outside Luton.
Mr Lennon, who calls himself Tommy Robinson, says he was driving along the A6 at about 2am last Thursday (Dec 22) when he pulled over after another car, a black Vauxhall Zafira, flashed its lights at him.
When he got out of the car he was attacked by three men, with the beating only coming to an end when a ‘good Samaritan’ stopped at the scene, he said.
Mr Lennon, who runs a tanning salon in Luton, said: “I was on my way back from Dunstable and near Streatley I noticed the car flashing me.
“I pulled over and got out. The car was being driven by a girl and three lads jumped out and I took a beating.
“As soon as I got out the passenger leapt out and I could tell straight away what was going to happen.
“I started fighting back and then the other two got out.
“The geezer that pulled over to help me said one of them had a pole but I didn’t see anything. But the hospital said the injuries looked like they’d been caused by a blunt object.”
Mr Lennon drove to Bedford Hospital where he was given a CT scan, which revealed bruising on his brain. He was released later the same day.
“I didn’t want to go to hospital but the guy that helped me kept insisting that I had to go,” he said. “They had knocked me out when he arrived – he said if he hadn’t pulled over they would probably have carried on.
“I’ve never had a kicking like it. I had to go home to my kids looking like that.”
Mr Lennon said claims on an anti-EDL website that the attack had been faked or had been carried out by football hooligans were “pathetic” and had been fabricated by people who had been kicked out of the EDL for being too right-wing. Continue Reading →
A Message From Tommy Robinson
From Gates of Vienna:
Tommy Robinson has sent a message today to his supporters in the English Defence League. He wants everyone to know he is recovering well from his injuries, and will soon be as good as new.
Tommy says he is now in Luton Town Centre “standing on his own and proud”. He also says that 2012 will be the start of a new era for the EDL.
Concerning last Thursday’s attack by “youths”, Tommy reports that the Luton police are treating the incident as a “racially-motivated crime”.
He also says he will be releasing a new video within the next few days.
His primary concerns, as usual, are for his children and his mother. The latter is in extremely poor health at the moment.
Tommy extends his “best wishes to every single one of you for a fantastic New Year”, and says he “can’t wait to be at the front in 2012!”
Paul Weston: Britain now has a different kind of political party
From European Son
Paul Weston (right) on the Michael Coren Show.
Last month Britain’s Independent newspaper reported that the controversial English Defence League movement, which campaigns against radical Islam, had signed a “pact” with the relatively new British Freedom Party. The Independent’s headline suggested that, through the alliance, the EDL was preparing to “storm local elections.” According to the article in the Independent, “The English Defence League plans to field candidates for the first time in local elections after an alliance is finalised between the far-right group and the British Freedom Party, which was set up by disgruntled members of the British National Party.”
Being associated with the EDL street protest movement has helped propel British Freedom into the spotlight. Several, largely critical, reports have been published by smaller British media outlets in the last day or two, and the party’s chairman, Paul Weston, was also recently interviewed on the Canadian Sun TV’s Michael Coren Show.
However, this may not be the only association. British Freedom’s name hints at the loose alliance of “freedom” parties in Europe, whose spiritual head is Dutch MP Geert Wilders.
Mr. Weston, a former member of the anti-EU United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), describes himself as a “classical liberal.” I wanted to ask him about these associations and alliances, and to find out how he sees British Freedom. My interview with Mr. Weston, which took place on December 10, is reproduced below.
ES: Congratulations on being on [Canada’s] Sun TV. That’s a pretty big achievement for such a new party. How do you feel the British Freedom Party is coming along?
PW: We’re getting our name out into the mainstream media. We had a piece in The Independent on us. It wasn’t very friendly of course, but it still gets your name out there. People are gradually starting to hear about us, so it’s not bad.
ES: And you’re getting quite a few people joining, I gather.
PS: Yes, yes, we are.
ES: I guess one complaint might be that there are just a lot of these parties out there. So, how is British Freedom different from say UKIP, the Conservatives, the BNP, etc.? Continue Reading →
Lord Leveson’s Inquiry reveals 99% public support for the EDL
Concealing support for the English Defence League (EDL)
An interesting snippet of testimony was given today by a witness at the Leveson enquiry into press standards and ethics, which is currently being held in the High Court in London.
It is common knowledge that within the British press a “gentleman’s agreement” has persisted over coverage of certain issues: specifically, accurate reportage of the exponential growth of opposition to immigration and Islam in Europe, and the emergence of non-racist parties to address it.
This agreement originates from a 2007 conference held by the NUJ (National Union of Journalists) – which produced infamous “Guidelines” – and at which it was decided to place a Cordon de Silence around the entirety of these matters, only drip-feeding out information whenever absolutely necessary.
But the evidence blurted out by the former Daily Star journalist Richard Peppitt is a surprising eye-opener, especially given recent events and the apparent overwhelming response to them online, that would seem to suggest that the multicultural destruction of Britain was something enthusiastically backed by most people in the country.
THE ENGLISH DEFENSE LEAGUE AND BRITISH FREEDOM
Mirrored from the Gates of Vienna,
The English Defence League and British Freedom
This afternoon a group of English Defence League leaders gathered at a venue in the West Midlands for an organizational meeting. Gaia was in attendance, and sends the following report:
The main topic of his talk was a future relationship between the EDL and the British Freedom Party, which recently elected Paul Weston as its chairman.
The atmosphere was definitely upbeat, and Tommy had the full attention of the assembled group during his talk. The crowd of 250-300 listened attentively and applauded from time to time. He explained that the EDL need to move up a notch — they cannot go on forever staging street demos. They are still widely perceived as a rabble, and as such cannot possibly obtain funding or be taken seriously by the political class.He said that it has become imperative that the EDL gather political clout.
With that end in mind, he proposed an association between the EDL and BF. He had nothing but praise for Paul Weston, “who has charisma, can speak well, and is a jolly good bloke!” He said they got on well with each other and could work together.
Tommy also mentioned Paul’s courage in putting his life on the line to front this party. He reminded the audience that the UK, unlike many other countries in Europe, do not have any party that takes a stance against Islamisation. He emphasised that Paul alone cannot galvanise the support of the large numbers of working-class people, and this is where the EDL can lend their weight.
BBC even uncertain about pre-emptive EDL arrests
Instructions from the EDL to its membership about attendance at the memorial today
Remember, these are the people being pre-emptivly arrested by the British government for pre-crime.
“To those of you who will still be attending London in the morning to pay your respects,? ?please make your way to Westminster and not Kensington as originally planned.? ?We wish to remind you to conduct yourselves accordingly by dressing smartly? (?suit and tie if possible?) ?and acting respectfully and responsibly.? ?This is not an EDL march and EDL colours/hoodies and banners should not be bought along.? ?Above all wear your poppy with pride?!”
Below, an older video showing police checking through what has to be an illegal database on EDL membership to decide who to allow, and disallow into an area.
It’s interesting that the Anti-fa and the man with the “I still hate Thatcher” T shirt feel so comfortable with the police. The idea of a non-partizan constabulary and armed forces is one of the crucial and central pillars of a democracy. Much more than mere voting actually. England has lost that some time ago.
Police arrest EDL supporters ‘to prevent breach of peace’
More evidence that England is becoming more and more unabashedly totalitarian. Over 100 EDL members have been arrested for a pre-crime. Police concern that the EDL may respond in a provocative way to Muslims attempting to dishonour and disrupt the proceedings at the remembrance ceremony today caused them to arrest 165 or so EDL members.
Well then. Perhaps the EDL should start arresting members of Parliament in case they might do something treasonous during their term in office. Hell there are a hundred things the EDL could justifiably do once you accept the notion of pre-crime. I think it’s well past time that the government at the highest levels in the UK sit down and re-evaluate what exactly their values are. That is, if they have any left.

It is understood the EDL supporters were planning to target Occupy LSX protesters outside St Paul’s Cathedral.
The EDL followers were arrested outside the Red Lion pub, in Westminster, and taken to central London police stations. Continue Reading →
The reality of Luton – a video that speaks volumes
Recently a US TV documentary crew for the “Vanguard” program on Current TV shadowed the English Defence League (EDL) protest movement and their national spokesman Tommy Robinson.
The documentary purported to be an “in-depth” study of the faux concept of Islamophobia and the usual liberal platitudes were trotted out. It was heavily hinted by the liberal-minded journalists that those speaking candidly and openly about Islam were “far-Right” and “racists”, and the usual Islamic (CAIR-backed) apologists were wheeled out and listened to attentively, while no effort was made to challenge them about the central role that the demand for violence plays in their ideology.
So far, so ordinary.
But there was one short segment of the program where events spoke for themselves about the real nature of Islam, the violence lurking under its smiling face, and the rampant colonial Islamisation of large areas of England.
(Over-18 warning: be warned the language is a little ripe)
Despite their efforts to do so the liberal correspondents just couldn’t explain away this incident which left them utterly stunned, their mental programming wouldn’t permit them to accept that their whole narrative-of-bigotry was totally upside down: and the reporter sat next to Tommy has no response to his questions, after the assault, other than silence.
Funnily enough we never seem to see the likes of Saif al-Islam in court for committing assault in the UK, like the one we witness here against Tommy, neither do the British establishment (which is now self-evidently “institutionally racist” against its own natives) use the whole weight of its powers to try and crush them.
