Report on Dudley protest by gay division of EDL

“On Saturday 3rd April the EDL went to Dudley in the centre of the Britain, where the opinions of 22,000 local people were ignored by central government, and a new Mega Mosque is to be built. The supporters of this mosque claim the £18 million required to build it has come from local donations, but critics of it say that would mean that £50,000 was donated per muslim in Dudley. This just does not add up. So just like the EDL supported Geert Wilders’s visit to the UK 4 weeks ago, this week we went to Dudley.

I have been to the English Defence League demos at London, Bolton and Dudley, and I’m a member of the EDL gay division (LGBT division). Before Geert Wilders’ visit to London, I had not been on any EDL demos. I wasn’t sure myself if the EDL was truly supportive of gay rights when I joined, but I knew I had to find some counter-jihad group to support.  The EDL LGBT division was only set up after the Wilders/Free Speech demo in London.

On doing my own research I found statements and photos going back to September 2009 (http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.4398/pub_detail.asp) showing EDL supported gay people against sharia. This support from the EDL for people like me, when there was no overt support for the EDL amongst the gay community, has fired my involvement. One month later and there are over 100 members of the LGBT division. It turned out there were many lesbian and gay people who were supporting EDL, they just weren’t organized as one identifiable group.

The EDL is the only group in the UK that is taking action to defend gay people from the threats of execution coming from the “sharia judges” in the UK. I’m proud to say, I’ve never met a group of more dedicated, intelligent and patriotic people. It is no surprise that islamists and the so-called Unite Against Fascism (UAF) communists are running scared. Of course, the media are determined to show only a narrow view of the people who support EDL, and have never reported what EDL stand for. Many more gay people are opposed to the islamization of the UK, but are wary of a demo where there might be violence – I’m convinced the media try to portray EDL as violent in an attempt to scare people away.  I really am a stereotypical urban homo, and I’ve never been in a fight. Yet I’ve never felt remotely threatened on an EDL demo. More gay people and more moderate muslims are welcome in the EDL. Continue Reading →

March by the EDL in Dudley today. A preliminary analysis.

The EDL got some predictably bad press in todays mainstream UK media. There is a great deal however that is not said. First of all, the people who rushed the barriers where fully masked while the EDL had clearly stated that people show up without doing that. Also, the marshals of the march fought with those who attempted to create problems, where none existed. Also, the number of people who did rush the barriers and caused all that negative ink to be spilled appear to have been something like twenty out of three to five thousand people. (estimates based on several people who where there, and the fact that the BBC quoted two thousand people, and they typically half the number if it is a group they do not agree with. Canadian listeners to CBC should be very familiar with this tactic although the CBC typically will underestimate the number by often 90%)

Gates of Vienna has this eye witness report from reliable and known people who attended the rally:

by Baron Bodissey

Here’s the first eyewitness report from today’s English Defence League demonstration in Dudley, from Gaia:

The crowd in Dudley was the biggest so far, possibly 3,000 to 5000.

Guramit Singh, one of the leaders of the EDL, gave a speech. also A little Russian girl also gave a speech in Russian about the Moscow bombings.

I’m not sure why the barriers were knocked over, and I didn’t see any UAF.

For the story about the barriers being knocked over, see The Birmingham Mail. I’ve included excerpts from that article and another from the BBC at the bottom of this post.

This is the speech given by Guramit Singh in Dudley:

The English dictionary says “a wish is a hope or desire for something”. We all know, we all wish everyday. 20,000 members of the Dudley public have made a wish. They have petitioned against a super mosque being built in their town.

This proposed mosque is the size of three football pitches with minarets built to such a height they generally impose on a large scale on Dudley. Not only will this eyesore pose a visual threat for the people of Dudley, it has the potential to threaten their lives as well, The mosque is being funded by Saudi Arabia which believes in Wahhabi Islam, the same interpretation Osama bin Laden bases his worldwide jihad on.

So in what way would this be a benefit to the Dudley community, when it has the common attributes for being a breeding ground for radical Muslims? It also has clustered around it a community which will be only for Muslims. Segregation, if proposed by myself or any other member of the British public, would be classed as a act of racism and ethnic cleansing. So how will this benefit this city?

The majority have stood and petitioned, but yet again this is completely ignored by the local government. The people of Dudley do not wish to have this enormous threat on their doorstep. They have a basic human right to be protected from this nightmare construction project and the potential nightmare cannot be allowed to manifest itself here.

20,000 wishes were overlooked by Dudley council.

Well, people of Dudley, on this day April 3rd 2010, 3000 members of the English Defence League are here to make your wishes come true, for this is England, and we will not tolerate it!

We, the English Defence League, will march every four weeks until the Outline Planning Permission has been overturned. We will make sure the voices of the people of Dudley are heard, and not put on a back bench to appease local Muslims. There is no need for this super mosque to be constructed, and the morale of the people of Dudley be demolished.

We will stand, we will fight and the English Defence League will grant them of their wish, for this is England and our voices will not be dismissed!

I can quite easily give you a brief outline of what the female Muslim population of this country wish for. They wish for their husbands to not commit acts of bigamy, they wish not to be suppressed and forced to wear burkhas. These are illegal under Common Law, but yet again the government give special treatment to the same militant Muslims, that recently killed 40 and injured 87 in the suicide bomb attacks in Russia, for they fear being called racist. Why don’t the government do something about the female Muslim issues we have happening right now in this country?

Cases of forced marriage of schoolgirls are rife in this country. Many girls are attending school one day and then, after a seasonal holiday, are never to be seen again. I can tell you their wish. It is to come home, to be safe, to enjoy the privilege of living in this country, the same as the rest of us. Another massive problem they face is undergoing the procedure of FGM, female genital mutilation, about which I will not go into a description, but which leaves these poor girls physically and mentally scared for life. All done in the name of their religion.

Why not invest and deal with these problems in your community rather than building breeding grounds for terrorism? This would never be a wish for some of these girls. It is their basic human right under Common Law to be protected, but still no one listens.

So we will march, we will demonstrate and we will highlight these issues wherever necessary because this is England and we will not give up on ourselves, and as one of my fellow leaders Tommy Robinson once said in Stoke, “from Land’s End to John o’ Groats,

We will not surrender!”

From The Birmingham Mail:

English Defence League and UAF Dudley Protests: Seven Arrested

A Seventh person has been arrested in Dudley, where two events by the EDL and UAF are ongoing.

The seventh arrest was for possession of an offensive weapon.

Police at the EDL venue quickly restored calm after a brief outbreak of disorder among protesters at around 3.20pm.

Police have now contained a group of EDL supporters who broke away from the main section of their party as they were being taken back to their coaches.

Officers responded rapidly to the incident near the EDL protest venue shortly after the event’s 4pm deadline had passed.

Officers dealt with sporadic incidents within the protest group after barriers were knocked over.

Meanwhile a seventh person has been arrested, for possession of an offensive weapon.

Two people were arrested late yesterday for criminal damage to a wall beneath a bridge in the town.

A further four have been arrested today on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon. Two of them were also arrested for possessing a Class A drug.

Chief Insp Mark Payne, of West Midlands Police, said at 2.30pm: “Many of the protesters and people attending the multi-faith event are now in place and at this stage are getting their messages across peacefully.”

The BBC (which disagrees on the crowd size) has a bit more to say:

The two groups organised demonstrations in Dudley, West Midlands, which resulted in the market closing and shops being boarded up.

[…]

About 2,000 people took part in the demonstrations.

Five people were arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon.

Two more people were arrested on Friday evening on suspicion of causing damage to a wall beneath a bridge in the town.

‘Additional heat’

Ch Insp Mark Payne said police knew who some of the main protagonists were.

“As part of the preparation we have made some arrests overnight to deal with some people who might be placing additional heat on the demonstration.

“We look very closely at who we think it is going to cause trouble and we have people on the ground who will be able to indentify them to local officers,” he said.

Police said they had met with organisers from both groups prior to the demonstrations.

Unite Against Fascism began its protest during the morning with the EDL one getting under way in the afternoon.

The EDL said one of its issues was the building of a “mega mosque” in Dudley which the council had opposed on planning grounds but which was permitted by the government.

The council said it had closed the market following discussions with traders.

Police said it did not welcome the EDL protest in Dudley, but was committed to making sure it was peaceful.

“Disorder and violence will not be tolerated,” a spokesman said.

Here is another speech by an EDL spokeswoman. Worth the watch:

Interview with EDL’s Trevor Kelway

by Baron Bodissey From Gates of Vienna:
EDL header
Later this morning the English Defence League will be staging a demonstration in Dudley, a borough near Birmingham in the English Midlands. The EDL is protesting the proposed building of a large mosque.

We’ll be reporting the news from Dudley as it trickles in later today. In the meantime, below is an interview with Trevor Kelway, one of the leaders of the English Defence League, by our EDL correspondent “G”:

Interview with Trevor Kelway
02 April 2010

Q: Let’s start with who the EDL are. Your website says: “The EDL was formed on the 27th of June, 2009 due to frustration at the lack of any significant action by the British Government against extremist Muslim preachers and organisations such as Islam4UK, Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Islamic Forum of Europe, the Muslim Council of Britain — the list goes on”.

Is the EDL still primarily about pushing back the influence of extremist Muslim preachers and organisations? Have you developed any additional aims over the last nine months? A: This is still our primary aim: to reverse the trend of Islamic extremism and its promoters. We are supportive of the wider aims within the UK — removing sharia law, prohibiting halal slaughter, and banning the burka.

Q: What are the EDL’s methods? Continue Reading →

Islamophobia is a threat to democracy

Muslims and thier allies respond

Those poor misunderstood Muslims

 GAURDIAN NEWS… We are concerned by the rise of Islamophobia, the negative coverage of Muslims in the media, the violent street mobilisations of extreme rightwing organisations like the English Defence League, and the rising electoral support for the British National party (The battle for Barking, Weekend, 13 March). Following Channel 4’s recent inflammatory documentary, Britain’s Islamic Republic, which saw concentrated attacks on the East London Mosque, the English Defence League marched through central London with placards including the demand “Close the East London Mosque now”.

The East End of London is not new to having its communities attacked by fascists and the media. The 1930s saw the Battle of Cable Street when Oswald Mosley’s blackshirts attempted to march into the Jewish community in the area. We cannot allow this terrible history to repeat itself. Further, the documentary, and articles since, have attacked the participation in politics by the Muslim community. We cannot stand by and watch this continue without remark or action.

In the runup to the general election, all parts of the population should be actively encouraged to exercise their votes. That is democracy. We welcome the work of organisations who work to this end. We call for solidarity and support for those organisations that work to encourage political participation from all sections of society, including Muslims, and condemn those who seek to undermine it.

Official Statement Regarding The Abuse Of EDL Prisoners

Here is a predictable set of events. Government selectively enforces various speech and thought crimes laws to advantage themselves, then selectively enforce prisoner treatment laws to cause maximum damage to political opponents. Sexual offenders get special accommodation in prisons, but EDL members are put in the same population as the violent Muslim thugs they are protesting about. We, ladies and gentlemen, we pathetic remnants of the world of genuine rational liberalism, we are well and truly fucked.

From Liberties Alliance Org.

The following is a statement from the English Defence League:

To all EDL members

As you may well already be aware members of the English Defence League have been arrested and charged for relatively “minor” offences.

Members who are prepared to stand up against the rising tide of Islamofascism and its adherents are being “hung out to dry” by our weak politicians in the hope they can salvage much needed Muslim votes in order to retain governance. This is just another ploy to use the “Muslim block vote” so other parties are denied potential seats in the houses of parliament.

It has come to our attention that some EDL members who are currently serving short prison time are actually being targeted by imprisoned radicalised jihadist gangs, consequently they have been beaten and will continue to get beaten as prison authorities “turn a blind eye” to events unfolding under their very roof!

We the English Defence League condemn such apathy, such wanton ignorance or, more likely, deliberate targeting of EDL members!

EVERY prison has a “duty of care” for its inmates. Prisoners MUST be afforded protection from harm as that is their right. They cannot be discriminated against by virtue of their race, colour, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or political views.

EVERY human being, be they prisoner, detainee, terrorist or asylum seeker has the basic human right to be treated with dignity and respect. They have the right to food, housing, PROTECTION, education and assistance from the law. They have the right not to be exploited, tortured or intimidated. As a country we have agreed to abide by the European Convention on Human Rights, as a nation we have the Human Rights Act to protect us from those who would seek to harm us or prevent us from enjoying our civil liberties.

If the British prison system fails EDL members in ANY of the above mentioned points then we as a movement will relentlessly pursue EVERY avenue to secure their safety while serving prison time. Failure on the part of prison governors to ensure the safety of EDL members while in their care WILL result in the petitioning of government, liable governors, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, and ANY other authority who are accountable for the Health, Safety and Wellbeing of inmates.

It is also worth noting that Prison service Order Number 1215 clearly states that……

“This PSO supports the delivery of the Performance Standards on Conduct and Discipline and the proper delivery of the Security Standard and all standards relating to the treatment of staff and prisoners.”

If prison staff have been found to be complacent, negligent or wantonly ignorant in the above regard then they themselves are in breach of a “Prison Service Order”

Police with machine guns raid homes of EDL leadership

In a raid reminiscent of the grotesque overkill on the raid of the private home of Dutch cartoonist, Gregorious Necschot, where police stated at him emphatically, ‘this is the end of your anonymity’ in effect, sentencing him before any kind of trial can take place, British police have raided the home of the leadership of the EDL with machine guns and other symbols of a repressive state given the actual threat involved.

Here is one report from Liberties Alliance:


By Aeneas • on February 20, 2010

Today, members of the English Defence League were arrested and denied their civil liberties when attempting to join the Scottish Defence League for a peaceful protest in Edinburgh. The EDL Leadership Team were detained without cause and arrested for “incitement to cause a breach of the peace”. Supporters who arrived at Waverley train station were forced back onto trains heading away from Edinburgh by the Police. Those travelling by road were stopped; some had their vehicles damaged by aggressive Police officers. In the City itself, the Police threatened anyone who attempted to protest with immediate arrest. Meanwhile, far-left so-called ‘anti-fascism’ protesters were allowed to wander the streets without any Police opposition. These same protesters made numerous attempts to attack EDL and SDL supporters, while nearby Police officers turned a blind eye. It is clear that today’s Police actions were politically motivated and that the Police Force as a whole can no longer be considered to be politically neutral. They have chosen their side. No further confirmation is needed other than the statement of the Scottish ‘Justice’ Minister, Kenny MacAskill (SNP), when he said that the “fact that the SDL didn’t make it out of Waverley Station is testament to good policing”.

When the Scottish Defence League attempt to reassert their civil right of freedom of association, we, the English Defence League, shall once again support them. Todays actions by the police are nothing short of a travesty for democracy, how can the police take action that flies in the face of the European convention of human rights? How are they allowed to act with impunity to subdue the right to freedom of speech and protest as outlined in the universal declaration of human rights. We have duly noted the following contraventions of this declaration that are as follows….

Article 2.
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

Article 7.
All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.

Article 9.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.

Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Article 30.
Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.

We seek the government and the police to examine article 30 in particular as the actions of today are in serious breach of the universal Declaration Of Human Rights.

We cannot stand idly by and allow the forces of fascism to take over our country. Our ancestors fought for their civil liberties and we shall do the same. When we return it will be in greater numbers. If we are again denied our civil liberties and our basic freedoms, by fascist forces, we will not give up. We will return again and again and again. We will keep returning until our rights are acknowledged and restored. If freedom is denied to us now, it can and will be denied to anyone and everyone else sooner or later. We will never surrender our freedom to fascists, whether they call themselves ‘ministers’ or call themselves ‘police’ or call themselves ‘anti-fascists’! Indeed, Winston Churchill said that the next wave of fascists would call themselves ‘anti-fascists’; today, to Britain’s shame, Churchill was once again proven right.

The EDL and our sister Defence Leagues will be gathering in London, at the Houses of Parliament on Friday the 5th of March (2pm), to show our support for another great man who is fighting against modern-day fascism: the Dutch MP Geert Wilders. All are welcome to join us. Our righteous forces of freedom will always triumph over those who support tyranny.

Long live freedom!
No surrender to fascism!

Official Statement Regarding The Arrest Of The EDL Leadership Team:

By Aeneas • on February 21, 2010

The following is from the EDL media site:

Official Statement Regarding
The Arrest Of The EDL Leadership Team

On Saturday 20th February 2010 Members of the leadership team of the English Defence League were arrested as they traveled to Scotland to support the Scottish Defence League demonstration.

While in custody the team members homes and families homes were raided by police armed with automatic machine guns which terrified the leaderships family which included small children and other older family members. Computer equipment was seized during the 3 hour raid.

Leadership team members were banned from attending any meeting with more than 3 edl members then bailed to return to a police station in Sheffield in the near future.

We are asking every member of the EDL to be available to protest outside the police station when the team has to answer bail. (date to be confirmed).

We need to get the message across that we will not be silenced by being bullied by the authorities and our struggle against muslim extremism will continue.

We have agreed to cancel the Bradford demo as a small concession but will be announcing further protests as a result of the disgraceful treatment of our leadership team.

This is a call to mobilization.

We need every single person who supports the EDL to stand up and be counted and when required we need you to take to the streets in a peaceful and law abiding manner to support our leadership. More details will be released regarding demonstrations in the very near future.

If any EDL Members are arrested by the police please let EDL Media know as soon as possible as we are forming a group action and will be making an official complaint to the authorities in the near future.

Thank you in advance for your support.

A video statement will be released within 24 hours of this notice.

Released on Sunday February 21st @ 13.21

More grass roots resistance to the jihad: Australia

Some Australians seems also to have lost confidence in it’s government to reflect the values of the Australian people and set up an EDL like group. Governments world wide take note. If you do not serve the people who gave you money and power, you may lose it in ways you did not expect. The likely consequence? Governments will continue to use valuable security resources to monitor the Western liberal democrats and interfere with their resistance while funding cultural and religious ‘outreach’ programs which have so far to pretty much the exclusion of all else, been about promoting Islam, sharia law, the erasure and rewriting of history to favour Islam, recreating text books to make other religions look like quaint ideas while Islam is the truth, and so on ad nauseum.

Below, a video from the newly minted, Australian Defence League:

Watch EDL protest live now

Speech by Sikh speaker:

The Fight Goes On – Speech at EDL Demonstration at Stoke-on-Trent by Guramit Singh EDL
I would first like to start today to remember a fellow admin of Walsall Martin Barrasford, our hearts go out to your family, and also the soldiers abroad and all their families at home, I can’t imagine what you’re going through, and finally all the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, god bless you all.
For nearly a year now the EDL have been fighting against the threat of militant Islam, sharia law being introduced, and supporting our soldiers abroad, I think the government have forgot just how much of a threat militant Islam is, have they forgot about 9/11, have they forgot about 7/7, have they forgot about the hostage situation in Russia in 2004 where 1200 were kept hostage for 3 days and 300 were murdered, nearly 200 of which were children, all done in the name of Islam.
Although I don’t believe the introduction of sharia law to be an immediate threat it is a worry we have to face now, the enemy is knocking at our door but this government refuses to answer due to its politically correct madness, I don’t want a future where my children or grandchildren will have to bow before Islam, I don’t want a future for my children where I have to worry if a Muslim man would be able to have sex with my daughter when she is a minor and him having a legal right to do so, I don’t want to see the grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and sisters of this great land suppressed by Islam, I don’t want to have to worry if they are beaten, hanged, stoned, raped, or even circumcised due to the freedom they enjoy, the suffragettes suffered and fought for women’s rights in this country, I don’t want this country to go back in time.
For close to a year the EDL have been marching making the public and government aware of these threats to this country, one issue we have highlighted time and time again is our concerns aboutislam4uk, which is led by hate cleric Anjem Choudary and his team of militant cowardly goons, the same person that spits on this country and its people and then has the audacity to claim benefits from it to support himself and his family, the same organisation which praises the terrorists attacks I highlighted earlier and fully supports them, only recently the government banned his farce of an organisation islam4uk after their proposed march on Wooten basset, too late Mr Gordon Brown, the damage has been done, we ask you to listen to our plea now, we have proven our theories are correct, already Anjem Choudary and his team of rats is starting a new organisation, your ban on islam4uk has not deterred them, let’s start with banning his and all of his organisations benefits, they’re trying so hard to disrupt this country I find it quite frankly impossible they are actively seeking work to be in legal receipt of them, from there start putting them on the watch list and infiltrate any areas of concern, from there start deporting them to foreign countries such as Afghanistan  they are so clearly concerned about.
The public needs to wake up and start putting pressure on the government to start doing something about this, Bob Spink MP Early Day Motion 288, it highlights the use of sharia courts in this country and puts an end to them, one law for all men and women the common law, it also bans all radical Muslims from this country, please write to your local mp to sign the EDM288, it’s a start, it’s not racist to love your country, it’s not racist to fight for your children’s future, it’s not racist to highlight the threat of militant Islam and what it is trying to achieve and fight against it, it’s not racist to join the EDL!!!
Recently a reporter recently classed me as ‘the anti-racist poster boy for the EDL’, no member of the EDL put a knife to my throat and forced me to join, I’m not being paid or reading from a speech someone has wrote for me, that’s not the EDL’s terms of practise, unlike militant Islam, I researched into the English Defence League and agreed with its views 100%, I marched in Nottingham, spoke with members and knew  this was a subject I felt very strongly about and joined, and have never regretted since, the UAF are at home now thinking my God, it looks like this is a non-racist organisation, I know what we can do, we’ll call him a racist Sikh, but what about my black friend who’s here speaking for the EDL, well we’ll have to call him a black racist as well they’ll say, but what about all the different faiths colours and creeds I’ve been meeting, I’m finding it getting more multicultural as days go by, they have no excuses, their accusations are now lies, the Nazi’s are racist, militant Islam is racist, they do not accept anybody apart from their own, this is the English Defence League and we shun your comments of racism because it does not exist in this organisation.
Sikhs for 100’s of years have been fighting militant Islam and have not lost yet, from bringing down the Mogul Empire to defending its people during partition, to the recent terrorist attacks in India, the Sikh regiment has stood and fought alongside Great Britain in WW1 and WW2 to name a few, well this British Sikh is going to stand alongside the English Defence League and fight militant Islam.
I leave you with the words of Sir Winston Churchill.
We shall fight on the seas and shores….
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air..
We shall defend our island whatever the cost maybe….
We shall fight on the beaches….
We shall fight on the landing grounds….
We shall fight in the fields and the streets….
We shall fight in the hills….But….
WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!!!!!!

ANJEM CHOUDARY GETS 24 HOUR POLICE GUARD

ABOVE: Anjem Choudary gloated over benefits pot
14th January 2010

By Gary Nicks

BANNED Muslim extremist Anjem Choudary is getting 24-hour police protection – and you are paying for it.

His threat to march in Wootton Bassett whipped up so much fury senior officers have stepped in to defend him from hate mobs.

On Sunday, 200 English Defence League supporters descended on the Wiltshire town which honours Britain’s war dead after rumours of a demo by his Islam4UK organisation.

The radical group was banned by the Home Secretary on Tuesday. And police chiefs are diverting men from essential duties to guarantee Choudary’s safety after far-right nuts made death threats against him. Gloating Choudary, 42, even cranked up the hatred against him by claiming the £25,000 benefits he gets every year, and the £325,000 house he lives in, were provided by “Allah” and not the British taxpayer.

The bill to guard Choudary could cost as much as £100,000 a year. But the trained lawyer said he was proud to milk the system, adding: “I am not doing anything illegal.

“If we were living under the shariah there would be free food, clothing and shelter for all. The money belongs to Allah and if it is given you can take it.

“You don’t lie and you don’t cheat – that is what the prophet said.”

But Matthew Sinclair, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “Taxpayers are going to be shocked to hear the police are having to waste time they should be spending fighting terrorism looking after Anjem Choudary.”

And Tory MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of the Commons sub- committee on counter-terrorism, slammed Choudary as a publicity-seeker.

He said: “He’s drawing constant attention to himself and diverting resources from their proper use.”

A police source warned: “Choudary has deliberately made himself a target among far-right groups and his plans to protest at Wootton Bassett stirred up even more anger.

“Senior officers are frightened of having a race war on their hands. If something were to happen to him, we would be blamed.”

Below, please find a recent video of Anjem on UK TV. Have a close look at the top of his head. This is what it looks like when you try and polish a turd.

England’s resistance picks up steam.

Whether you agree with the EDL or BNP or any other group that can be remotely connected or not, there is no denying the significance with which these groups are growing in numbers, popularity, and sophistication. Clearly England has been grotesquely mismanaged as has much of Europe for long enough that groups like this need to exist, again, agree with them or not.

The sad fact is that the traditional political parties of England have lost the ability to defend and preserve anything worth while of British heritage while forcing radically different values on the people of that island. The results are 100% predictable. Below, is a rather better-than-previously-made video by the EDL looking for new members. The message is clear. Islam is not a British value, and all are welcome to join and stand with the EDL with the single common purpose of resisting Islam and preserving more classically liberal values. The EDL show black hands grasping white hands while the BNP only began to allow black members in the past few months because the government forced them to, as not allowing people to join a political party on the basis of race is illegal in England. Even so, the BNP are enjoying a large swell of support.

Again, whether you agree with one, both or neither group, the significance must not be ignored. The people of England are fighting for themselves and no longer trusting their government to represent their values. This is a dress rehearsal for a catastrophe, and worse, may actually be the lesser of the evils as between Islam and the EU’s totalitarian and anti democratic rules, the kind of peasant rebellion formed by racists and soccer hooligans may actually end up in something better than where England appears to be heading now.

Personally? I am doing a silent prayer for UKIP and hope that brilliant and brave men like Sir Malcolm Pearson and others in his party prevail and manage to defeat Islam and the EU in England without a descent into the kind of anarchy otherwise suggested.

English Defence Leagues Tommy Robinson interview on Radio 5 live (04/01/2010)

H/T Gaia at ICLA

English Defence Leagues Tommy Robinson is the voice of the silent majority on Victoria Derbyshires BBC Radio 5 live show on Monday 4th January 2010. He was on the show to explain the EDLs position on Anjem Choudary and his islam4uk groups plan to march through Wootton Bassett and islamic extremism in general.
