#1 "Far-right" in this case meaning that:

1) When asked, they identify themselves as "English".
2) They prefer traditional British law to Sharia law.
3) They are not extremist, radical left-wing.

#3 "The EDL have a right to protest, yes, but we must not allow them to provoke us into violence. Unfortunately many young Asians are very angry at years of police stop and search and anti-terror laws, Islamophobia and continuing economic discrimination."

Everyone is at fault here. The government for banning a protest because opponents might cause violence, the EDL for organizing a violent confrontation with police, and the Leftists who organize their own violent counter-protest.

#4 I don't believe this media write up. The British press attacks EDL like MSNBC attacks the Tea Party, so there is little chance of finding out what really happened at an event.

In past, the EDL was peaceful, then attacked by "Asians", then the newspapers reported that it as just the opposite, barely mentioning the "Asians", or pretending them to be innocent victims. It has even taken to calling them "anti-fascists", which is probably what they call the white leftists who support the "Asians". We would call them communists.

Right now, on the EDL website, it features the story of a British Afghan war vet who was refused a beer from a store by a Muslim employee, because he was in uniform.

The EDL's response: they sent a *letter* to the store management, shown on the page. Typical polite British tone. How radical. How extremist.

For their part, the store's management profusely apologized to the soldier.

#5 EDL was set up when extremist muslims protested against Soldiers marching through Luton on their home coming parade.

They are a mixture of working class whites and ex football hooligans who are fed up with how the Pakistani muslim community are pandered to and how little the Govt is doing to stop Islamic radicalisation in Pak communties around England.

EDL see appeasement whilst the young lads of EDL want action ie their country back.
