Understanding the E.D.L.

To whom it may concern,

I’m writing with regard to the document you signed, a document issued to you by members of the turban campaign, something that slanders not just myself but also the English Defence League.

When I noticed the lies in this joint statement I thought to myself, “just ignore it”. I thought that anybody who is deluded enough to believe this nonsense is not worth wasting time on. Time trying help them realise the truth seemed just a waste of effort. Some people are just blind to truth anyway so why even bother? But when I was speaking to my grandmother the other day about this situation, she made me understand that this could be a negative way to proceed. So upon reflection, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for my arrogance. This is me reaching out to all those people who have been hoodwinked into believing slander from the ideological opponents of the EDL.

The joint statement asks for members of mainly Sikh and Hindu organisations to denounce the English Defence League because members of the turban campaign believe we are a bunch of racists and that we are trying to divide the Asian community. They are also asked to denounce the BNP.

Well would anyone be amazed by me agreeing with denouncing the BNP?

I completely agree with that statement. But they associate the EDL with the BNP to gain support, I’d like to state now, the English Defence League denounces the British National Party! It would also be fair to say that although we do not like or agree with the BNP’s agenda, we are aware there are people who vote BNP quite simply out of sheer frustration, and it is also fair to say that there are racist idiots involved in the BNP, Its current leader was a member of the National Front and one of the founders, John Tyndal was a Neo Nazi. Why would the EDL want to be linked to the BNP?

We don’t, but our opponents want us to be!

This was their first lie, an eye-catching opener to engage any right-minded people who abhor racism. What they failed to do was to release the full details of our organisation’s mission statement, This is easily found on our website, http://englishdefenceleague.org/content.php, I would appreciate it if our ideologically opposed friends did a little more research, be honest in their reporting and understand what we are really about. As of this very moment I am making it clear to those who believe this propaganda. You have been given false information. Please open up your eyes to the truth. We are certainly not a racist organisation, we never have been and we never will be. We are open to all and I am not the only one who is testament to that fact.

The English Defence League is a non racist street movement that welcomes people from all backgrounds, any race or religion; our motto is “Black And White Unite”. This is the very cornerstone our organisation is built on. Continue Reading →

Fury erupts outside U.S. Embassy in London as hundreds stage mock funeral for Osama bin Laden

A protest by hundreds of Osama bin Laden supporters sparked fury outside the US Embassy in London today as they staged a mock ‘funeral service’ for the assassinated terror leader.

Police stepped in to separate the protesters and members of the English Defence League amid threats of violence from both sides.

Radicals carrying placards proclaiming ‘Islam will dominate the world’ branded US leaders ‘murderers’ and  warned vengeance attacks were ‘guaranteed’.

The protest comes amid heightened security in London fearing a revenge attacks by Al-Qaeda and was organised by controversial preacher Anjem Choudary.

AT LAST! Politician in UK addresses issue of Islam. Press attempts to destroy him.

Controversy over MP election vote in Leicester this Thursday

So total is the fear of press reprisal that mainstream UK politicians have so far been totally silent on the enormously negative impact that Islamic immigration and its consequences, have had on Britain. Crassly dismissing movements like the EDL as “racists” because of the predominant colour of their participants, and lumping them together with nutty white-supremacist nobodies like the BNP.

That was until last week.

Coinciding with national local-government elections, and a referendum on voting reform, the British constituency of Leicester South is having a by-election this Thursday, to decide who to send as a new MP to Westminster. And the candidate for the UK Independence Party (UKIP), Abhijit Pandya, has caused quite a stir.

Pandya has been a common sight on the streets of Leicester campaigning under the slogan, “No to immigration. Yes to Jobs.” While the other parties have been nowhere to be seen. Unemployment is the biggest concern of ordinary folk in Leicester.

Responding to calls by the citizens to finally air the ordinary people of Leicester’s views in public, Mr Pandya wrote a blog post which was uncompromisingly frank about the true nature of Islam, and its social consequences, as demonstrated in government statistics on Muslim unemployment and welfare dependency. He did not mince his words:

A theological system that fundamentally encourages discrimination between those who believe it and those who don’t, treating the latter as second-class citizens, is backward. A system that treats women as slaves without chains is morally flawed and degenerate in its treatment of women. Cultural practices in many parts of the world which include child marriages and the death penalty for practising homosexuality are reminders that man is capable of going back to the dark ages very quickly.

The local Left-wing press, which has been significantly infiltrated by Muslims, was quick to respond. Under its headline, “Outrage as prospective Leicester MP condemns Islam on his blog” the Leicester Mercury sought to bring an immediate end to debate. The usual methods were employed, with Mr Pandya’s coruscating examination of Islamic reality above, being reduced to this sentence by the paper:

In the article, Abhijit Pandya called Islam “morally flawed and degenerate” and said he backed a controversial Dutch politician, who called Islam a retarded ideology.

We all know who that “Dutch politician” is… Pandya is in fact the head of the UK’s most prominent free speech society and is a significant admirer of Geert Wilders. He is a respected barrister and law professor, and also runs several charities dedicated to tackling youth crime in deprived areas. But that didn’t stop the Leicester Mercury smear job, and the paper wrote a further article, demanding that their readers not vote for UKIP; a clear violation of electoral law.

But the subtext of the newspaper’s reports were clear enough: get him.


It didn’t matter that Pandya had rigorously referenced his arguments, he had to be presented as an ignorant hate-monger, so he could be eliminated. Not as a principled politican deeply concerned about the employment-status of all his potential future constituents. A person who wants to save both Mulsim and non-Muslim alike from, “the abyss of exclusion and welfare.”

There have already been reports of UKIP canvassers facing harassment, threats and attack as a result of the Leicester Mercury’s distortion. While the national press has of course imposed a total silence lock-down over the issue, so fearful is the establishment that the counter-jihad message could finally penetrate the mainstream and affect the national elections on May 5th. You’ll find the story in media as far away as India, but not on any UK-wide MSM whatsoever.

In the meantime Pandya has been frequently stopped by people of all ethnicities in Leicester, and openly hugged in the street.

Pandya’s selection as the candidate for Leicester South is a cunning masterstroke by Nigel Farage and UKIP. His name and ethnicity (even though he is a committed Christian) automatically preclude the press using the “racism” label which naturally underpins all attempts to silence justified criticism of Islam. Leicester South in particular is the most diverse society in England, and is the city most likely to be the first non-native majority English town. At the same time it has been described by the State Department as having, “the most conservative Islamic community in Europe.” It is a painful example of how every community can coexist peaceably, except the Islamic one, because Islamic doctrine unambiguously proscribes such coexistence.

Should Pandya be successful this could represent the sea-change in British politics many have longed for. But the obstacles UKIP faces are considerable. First of these is the solid Labour party vote, dominated by people who feel voting for anyone else, but their own crazily pro-immigration party, endangers the welfare state. This is a tragic irony as Pandya’s most persuasive point is that the welfare state is doomed if Britain does not oppose an Islamic future.

Second, are Conservative voters who refuse to realize that voting for the Tories would be utterly wasted in sending a signal to the government. And third of course, is the Lib Dem candidate Zuffar Haq, a Muslim who is busily organizing the production of thousands of postal votes through the local mosques. Plus ça change…

But the chief barrier to success is the carefully constructed wall of silence that surrounds Pandya’s candidacy and his remarks. No doubt the establishment feel if they can just keep the people of Leicester ignorant and far far away from the polling booths this Thursday, then UKIP, who have finally it seems decided to grab the Islamic bull by the horns, will lose heart.

And in so doing pave the way politically, for Britain’s Islamic destiny.

EDL Demo for Blackpool May 28th

Our national campaign against the threat of radical Islam brings us to the seaside town made infamous by the gruesome murder of Charlene Downes.

Charlene disappeared in 2003, and evidence emerged that her body had been put through a mincing machine in a Blackpool Kebab shop – one of a number of takeaways in the town identified by police as a sexual exploitation ‘honey pot’.

Lancashire police botched the investigation into Charlene’s murder and paid the two defendents nearly £250,000 each in compensation.

Today, the kebab shop is still open and it is thought that over 60 Blackpool school girls have been the victims of grooming or sexual abuse by Muslim takeaway owners and workers.

The English Defence League, alongside Casuals United, will continue to support the Downes family’s fight for justice.

We will also continue to expose the hatred and intolerance that radical Islam is spreading in our country.

We will speak out against the Muslim sex gangs, against the politicians who cover them up, and against the religious scripture that does so much to inspire them. We DO NOT want this hatred in our country and we ARE NOT afraid to make a stand against it!

British, Sikh, and Proud Member of the EDL

This from the Liberties Alliance website.

The following article is from the EDL website. It illustrates of another case of the political left trying to bully people who do not share its views into silence. Is it any wonder that Communism caused such misery to so many for so long:

EDL Spokesman Guramit Singh Responds to the Sikh Left

A few days ago, to my amazement, the Left-wing group ‘Sikhs Against the EDL’ attempted to blackmail me. This Islam-apologist organisation (which in no way represents the views of British Sikhs) demanded that I publicly denounce the English Defence League before the holy Sikh festival of Vaisakhi.

Who do they think they are to be making such an ultimatum?

The festival of Vaisakhi marks the birth of the Khalsa (the collective body of Sikhs), and was established by the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, a man that all Sikhs know defended oppressed people from the evils of militant Islam, and fought for many of the freedoms that people of all religions enjoy today. Sound familiar?

Guru Gobind Singh Ji is also famed for having written a letter to the Mughal Emperor Aurengzebe, one of the cruelest dictators in Indian history, in which he criticises the Muslim warlord for breaking oaths that he had sworn upon the Quran. The British author Karen Armstrong describes Aurengzebe as having a “murderous hatred of Muslim ‘heretics’ as well as adherents of other faiths.” He imposed the jizyah tax on non-Muslims, and began a campaign to destroy Hindu temples across the empire.

My forefathers battled against this Islam-inspired intolerance, and Sikhs played a large part in causing the downfall of the Mughal Empire. So I am rightly proud of my faith and its glorious history.

Although I am not a practicing Sikh myself, I consider Guru Granth Sahib Ji to be my Guru. This religion has taught me a lot, and continues to be an inspiration to me.

But some people seem to have a problem with that. I’ve been attacked and insulted by a variety of unpleasant characters. This includes some individuals who tried (and failed) to align themselves with the EDL, various groups of national socialists who don’t appreciate that the EDL does not support their warped forms of nationalism, and the usual far-Left Islam-apologists.

I really don’t pay that much attention to the vicious personal gossip that is spread about me by the UAF and co, because I don’t have time to waste on organisations that are built on nothing but lies. They don’t deserve my attention. But when this rubbish is being spread by fellow Sikhs and could potentially affect my family life, I do feel that I must act – that I must make my position clear.

Sikhs Against the EDL have done nothing but attack me. They have held up placards calling me a ‘skinhead’ and say that I should be locked up. I’m not a skin head, I’ve just gone bald – it happens. And if they believe that anyone that says anything they disagree with should be locked up, how far away are they from those Muslim extremists who (between burning poppies and insulting British soldiers) find time to call for an Islamic state?

Freedom of speech is important, and I won’t let these people try to blackmail me into silence. They’ve even threatened that they will go the Sikh Governing body at Amritsar, and to the Jathadar of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, to ask that I am excommunicated from the Sikh Panth. This basically means that they are threatening to try and get me kicked out of the Sikh religion. Since when did people lose the right to belong to whichever religion they choose?

I’ve not committed any sin. I’ve not attacked these people, or caused harm to any other Sikhs. I consider myself a sevadar (servant) of the Sikh Nation as well as being a passionate Brit. I am standing up for what is right, and I’m shocked that fellow Sikhs would want to attack me for that.

I want to send them a clear message. Don’t bother waiting for Vaisakhi. Go and put your false allegations in to Sri Akal Takhat Sahib now, just like you have been doing to other Sikh organisations in this country. Tell them your lies – tell them that I’m a racist, or a Nazi – because I refuse to denounce the EDL.

All we are doing is defending our communities, defending our brothers and sisters, and defending this country from militant Muslims and their 7th century form of Islam. In doing so we’re making a stand against an ideology that supports racism, paedophilia, rape, murder, oppression, intolerance and warmongering.

I could go on forever. And the evidence I have for these accusations are the words and actions of those Muslims who continue to support and commit these terrible things, and the content of the Islamic scripture that inspires them.

Sri Akal Takhat Sahib will give me the opportunity to state my case. If Sikhs Against the EDL do go ahead with their farce of an excommunication application, I know that I have friends and colleagues both inside and outside of the Sikh community that will help me reveal the truth.

My religion teaches that the truth will always prevail. And that’s something that I really believe.

Blackmail and vicious ultimatums will not work with me. I’m proud to be a member of the EDL and, in case you hadn’t heard…

We never surrender!

Guramit Singh

The EDL have many Sikh members who are utterly repulsed and offended by the actions of a small number of their co-religionists. An attack on Guramit is also an attack on other Sikh EDL members!

A couple of links on the EDL worth noting.

I have had numerous arguments, some with friends, on the nature of the EDL. Some of whom have refused to look at any actual evidence on them, deciding instead that they are a low-down organization of thugs and that’s all their is too it. One of them actually yelled at me and said “If I support the EDL then I am yesterdays man” and that was the end of that.

I prefer investigation to intolerance and prejudice myself.

In that spirit, here are two interesting and recent links on the English Defence League. The first, a speech by Tommy Robinson from ICLA

There is more at the ICLA link above, as well as at the EDL.ORG site here.

Second, this article from Daphne Anson here, a bit of which is quoted below…

The English Defence League on Jews and Israel

In an article entitled “Israel and the Unholy Trinity” the English Defence League (EDL), often depicted as a neo-Nazi organisation with links to the British National Party (BNP), unequivocally supports Jews and  Israel.

Here’s a taster:

‘There is an unholy trinity that has come together to bring about what Palestinians shout at their demonstrations ‘From the River to Sea, Palestine will be free!’ It is a tripod of hate from the intellectually bankrupt Left-wing communists and right-wing fascists and Nazis, supported by Islamists. From the River to the Jordan to the Mediterranean sea Palestine will be established at the expense of the state of Israel. Yet there has never been a state of Palestine, there has never been an Arabic nation based in Palestine, it was invaded in the 7th and 8th Centuries by Arab Islamists seeking to spread their evil ideology to the world. Arabs were offered 80% of the British Palestine Mandate known as Trans-Jordan, but they rejected it. They wanted it all. Ever since, Muslims everywhere have sought and fought to bring about the destruction of the Jewish state.

Add this to the numerous articles and press releases from various UK security agencies admitting that most, if not all, the violence at rallies by the EDL have been started and sustained by either Muslims or the leftists of the self named, ‘Anti-fa’ and one begins to get a pretty good idea of who the EDL is, and what they are about. I wish them all the luck in the world and all the support I can offer.

EDL demo in Blackburn. Police issue ‘Ozman warnings to leaders

Police have erected an 8 foot steel fence around the perimeter of the EDL demo and warned Tommy and his 2IC that  they cannot guarantee their safety. From the EDL website:

Police Warning To EDL Leadership

Chilling words from the Bedfordshire Police in the form of an “Osman” warning. This is not an April Fools joke, this is serious:

Bedfordshire Police has received anonymous information that a threat has been made against [Kevin and Tommy]. The nature of this threat is that he and his associates face being assaulted when they attend a planned English Defence League protest at Blackburn Lancashire on the 2nd of April 2011.

Due to your lifestyle and political beliefs Bedfordshire Police has identified you as being at very high risk of coming to serious harm and our concerns are such for your safety that we have suggested the following actions to reduce the risk of further violence:

  1. That you do not attend the planned EDL protest in Blackburn on the 2nd of April 2011.
  2. If you choose to attend the protest, that you do not inform anyone of your intention to travel or the method of travel that you intend to use.
  3. If you choose to attend this protest, that you inform Bedfordshire Police of your plans and allow them to inform their colleagues in Blackburn.
  4. That you call the Police immediately if you feel under threat from anyone, using the 999 system.
  5. I must warn you that if you fail to take advantage of this advice it may put you at increased risk of harm. You have a responsibility to act in a manner that does not compromise your own safety. If you need Police assistance [contact details redacted] and we will do all we can to support you and to make you feel safe.

Clearly the basic rights and freedoms of  secular Western Liberal democracy have been abandoned by the British state and that same state shows no interest in preserving it at all.

??????It’s the jolly boys’ outing – directed by Quentin Tarantino
By Richard Littlejohn Last updated at 1:10 AM on 1st April 2011

Look, I know it’s April Fool’s Day but please bear with me. What follows is not a spoof. You couldn’t make it up.
Police and council officials took a coachload of thugs from the West Midlands on a day-trip to Blackpool to keep them out of trouble.
On arrival, some of the yobs went on the rampage and kicked a father-or-two senseless in front of his pregnant girlfriend and children.

This excursion, which cost taxpayers more than £2,000, was the brainchild of the Safer Sandwell Partnership, a collaboration between no fewer than 20 publicly-funded agencies.
After careful consideration, it was decided to remove 19 young men from the streets of Dudley to prevent them becoming involved in ‘anti-social behaviour’ on the day of a planned march by the right-wing English Defence League.
All were from Asian or Muslim backgrounds and were identified as potential troublemakers. It was thought that they might try to disrupt the march, leading to violence.

Their ethnic origin is only relevant in the context of the nature of the demonstration and the understandable desire to prevent racial confrontation.
You can’t imagine the police bussing West Bromwich Albion fans to Skegness for the day to stop them clashing with Wolves supporters outside the Hawthorns.
So why, you might ask, was this band of brothers singled out for a beano to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and not the many thousands of other young Asian men who also might take offence at the sight of the EDL marching through their home town?
It may have something to do with the fact that all were members of a gang ‘known to the police’ and two of them were on bail for an alleged hammer attack in Tipton three months earlier.
So they were herded on to a charabanc with a police officer and five social workers and driven up the M6 to work off their excess aggression on the dodgems and donkey rides. Imagine the Jolly Boys Outing episode of Only Fools And Horses, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Continue Reading →

EDL Blackpool Demo Report: Justice for Charlene Downes

Could a crime be so awful that the government would choose to not deal with it to avoid a public reaction to it? Please click over to this blog for details on this case and a warm grateful thank you to the EDL for forcing the hand of the state to reopen this most important case.

EDL on Australia’s 60 minutes

A word of advice to Tommy Robinson. Sue the makers of 60 Minutes and start the proceedure today. At the 10 minute mark, the host asks you if the EDL are all people like “yourself” who are all working class and racist. The answer is clearly edited so that the racist question is never addressed. This is simply not acceptable. You, and all the people present in that room, should sue.

UK Authoritarianism: “Terrified of People Thinking for Themselves”

From Hudson New York

“Huge numbers of Britons would support an anti-immigration English nationalist party if it were not associated with violence and fascist imagery,” The Guardian reported last week.

In a certain sense, English nationalism has emerged in opposition to the “neo-imperialism” or “neo-colonialism” of a militant wing that refuses to allow minorities to be English, preferring to keep them “minorities” to be used as political pawns. However, the association of English nationalism with anti-Islamism causes the most alarm: in hoping that radical, anti-Western Muslims would prove useful in instigating revolution, the far-Left has long allied with Islamist organizations.

The UK actually does have such a party: the English Democrats. Founded in 1998 by former Conservative Party member, and its current chairman, Robin Tilbrook, it won its first mayoral election in 2009, with Peter Davies elected mayor for the city Doncaster. In line with The Guardian’s assertions, Tilbrook also believes his party has reached a “critical mass,” and is poised to make further electoral gains.

The sudden interest in, and concern about, the possible appeal of an English nationalist party was almost certainly provoked by a recent Daily Star front-cover story a few weeks ago, in which the tabloid claimed that the English Defence League, an increasingly visible anti-Islamist protest movement, was about to form itself into a political party.

The Daily Star’s reporting caused a considerable stir in the media and blogosphere, not least of all as the EDL’s leader was quoted as saying only that they were not ruling out becoming a political party – which may have been an off-the-cuff remark. Since then, one of the tabloid’s reporters has quit, claiming that the Daily Star peddled anti-Muslim bias and “hatemongering.”

The Guardian’s report on the potential appeal of an English nationalist party was based on… Read More.

EDL demo filmed from the other side of the fence.

Interesting lack of dogs on this side. Also, the cries we hear don’t seem very British to me. Well these days perhaps. Also, this side seems to actually be guilty of everything they accuse the EDL of being, while actually failing to provide any evidence the EDL is as described.
