Members of Britain's newest and fastest-growing protest group intimidate Muslim woman on a train
Mail Online ^ | 12-27-09 | BILLY BRIGGS

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.' Some of the men hide behind balaclavas, others wear black hoodies. A few speak on mobile phones, their hands pressed against their ears to block out the cacophony.

'It's already kicking off in Manchester. This could be tasty,' shouts one. These are some of the most violent football hooligans in Britain and today they have joined together in an unprecedented show of strength. Standing shoulder to shoulder are notorious gangs - or 'firms' as they are known - such as Cardiff City's Soul Crew, Bolton Wanderers' Cuckoo Boys and Luton Town's

At the bottom is this.

We are no longer accepting comments on this article.

Notice how the paper doesn’t want people discussing this issue!

They shouldn’t go after the women. That would leave the muzzie men with no one to hide behind, and the Brits would have an “unfair” advantage.

When British bobbies fear the EDL more than moslems, Britain may regain a chance of survival. As of now they’re literally taking white girls to prison who object to being teamed up for class projects with people who don’t speak English.

This article is definitely worth reading in full. Lots of spin in it, though (I love how the reporter calls some of them “outwardly intelligent” - LOL!). I think this movement bears watching. Yes, there are clearly “hooligans” in it who seem to be out for a good time, but it sounds like there are many serious people who truly fear for the future of England. As well they should.

I just looked at the website. It is not “extreme right” and certainly not racist as this newsrag is making it out to be. It speaks out for nations and cultures oppressed by Islam, including arab christians, copts in egypt, Kashmiri Hindus slaughtered by Muslims, buddhists in various parts of the world....

It is a wonderful website. Theres nothing wrong with what theyre saying.

The woman on the train could be intimidated, but it may not be from anything the group was doing to her directly. I don’t think it says anywhere in the article that they directed anything at her. I know if I were on the train and a big group of rowdies in masks got on board, I would feel intimidated too.

OMG, somebody woke up the Brits.

Not a moment too soon either.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

If I were on a plane and I noticed a man in a turban sitting across the way, I’d get the hell out of there.

Actually, muslims aren't generally the big turban wearers. They do often wear the towel-looking headdresses (the name escapes me at the moment) but someone wearing a turban is more likely to be Sikh or some such thing than muslim.

Britain must now reap the whirlwind for such absurdities as the “National Extremism Tactical Coordination Unit,” which should be raiding radical Mosques and hidey-holes, but instead chooses to police the backlash created by the government’s collective insanity.

I don’t care if they do. There were women on that Northwest flight and there were women in the WTC buildings. This is just the way things go. One might say, “$#!+ happens.” Let them get used to it.

Nonsense. There’s nothing to indicate the Brits are going after muzzie women. If she doesn’t like them or what they have to say, let her master hire her a taxi or limo to go about. As long as they insist on pressing their religion on their hosts, let ALL of them bear the consequences.

to your point 3.
The EDL is selling full facemask hooded sweatshirts as “burquas” on their website. You’ll have to search it out to see it, it’s like a sports team hoody with a full see through mask attached to the hood.

These young hooligans will have to remove this pestilence from their shores themselves. No one else has the testicular fortitude to do so.
