Masked members of Britain's newest and fastest growing protest group intimidate [Muslims]
Daily Mail ^ | 26th December 2009 | Billy Briggs

Posted on 12/26/2009 11:01:39 PM PST by Lorianne

On Platform One at Bolton station a mob of around 100 men punch the air in unison. The chant goes up: 'Muslim bombers, off our streets, Muslim bombers off our streets...'

Their voices echo loudly and more men suddenly appear; startled passengers move aside. The group march forward waving St George Cross flags and holding up placards. The throng of men around me applaud. A train heading for Glasgow draws up on the opposite platform and the men turn as one, bursting into song: 'Engelaand, Engelaand, Engelaand.'

The gathering is remarkable, as on a match day these men would be fighting each other. But it is politics that has drawn them together. They are headed for Manchester to support a march by the burgeoning English Defence League.

The police are here in force, too. 'Take that mask off,' barks a sergeant to one young man. He does so immediately but protests: 'Why are they allowed to wear burkas in public but we're not allowed to cover our faces?'

The rise of the English Defence League has been rapid. Since its formation at the start of the summer the group has organised nearly 20 major protests in Britain's cities ...

Its leaders are professional and articulate and they claim that the EDL is a peaceful, non-racist organisation. But having spent time with them, there is evidence that this movement has a more disturbing side. There is talk of the need for a 'street army', and there are links with football hooligans and evidence that violent neo-Nazi groups including Combat 18, Blood and Honour and the British Freedom Fighters have been attending demos

It’s about bloody time.

We need a movement like that here.

The British government had years and years to correct their Islamic issues...and done nothing with the time given. So you would have to expect a movement of this type to occur. The cops? I suspect they have a vast amount of pressure on them by political figures....but they really don’t have the heart to go against this mob.

I suspect this is the beginning a long and bloody movement...and a number of people will make the decision to eventually leave the UK and move back to their Islamic roots...then discovering how miserable lives are in these Middle Eastern countries.

“The police are here in force, too. ‘Take that mask off,’ barks a sergeant to one young man. He does so immediately but protests: ‘Why are they allowed to wear burkas in public but we’re not allowed to cover our faces?’

Given they’re disarmed (disarmed and de-balled), I guess they comply to every stupid and silly command. Unless there’s a law prohibiting this, I’d tell the cop to piss off. And I would doubt there is a law given burkas are publicly displayed.

When they start murdering their own daughters I'll begin to use that word to describe the EDF.

Come on you Hatters!

I don’t like soccer hooligans and I don’t like the indiscriminate way they tend to enforce their will but it had to happen as you can only push the British so far. Sadly these Bova Boys will probably pick on some Muslim looking kid who has nothing to do with radical Islam and then the tide of opinion will turn against them.

If they can just control their members they might have some effect.

Hopefully they will not beat up Indian Sikhs, Hindus, etc.

The muslims get into Britin as members of the Commonwealth of Nations—old British Commonwealth. Mainly from Pakistan, India, Nigeria.

Movement and immigration was historically quite easy.

The Commonwealth includes Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and others totalling 54 countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_Commonwealth_of_Nations

In 1979 I worked for a firm with extensive business in Iran. We had a highly valued employee from India (a Zoroastrian). Wanted him out, and knew he could go to either the UK or Canada with ease.

These British tough guys are correctly focused on islamic terror supporters.

There is always “collateral damage” of people wrongly beaten up. this happened in the USA during the Carter hostage crisis where innocent non-Iranians got beaten - often for being a bit darker skinned - or wearing Hindu headgear/turbans.

Think hard! This “collateral damage” is preferable to inaction and allowing the Jihadis free rein to beat us up -often physically or politically.

The UK’s pussy, pc leaders brought this on themselves.

Hello, governments, if you don’t keep your citizens safe they take matters into their own hands and that usually means getting rid of you too cuz why do they need you, if they have to do the job themselves?

It ain’t brain surgery.
