Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

UAF weren't there as far as we can tell. They usually only turn up when there is a anti-Muslim march and this doesn't seem to have been that. They probably didn't expect problems from EDL on Armistice Day.

According to The Guardian their intended target were the protesters at St Pauls. Quite why the EDL would have a problem with the Occupy movement isn't clearly explained. Sounds like they have more in common with the Islamic regimes they profess to oppose than they thought.

Grauniad says 156 were arrested ...

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

I would have thought this colder weather would have deterred a few..Not encourage them..Maybe they thought a ruck would warm them up..;)

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Huffington Post (who probably got it from The Guardian) as well while PA reports 57. Seems like a mistake from The Guardian.

EDIT: PA now saying 156. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...e50aab69933612

Well they were definitely up to something, Maybe Neanderthals don't feel the cold.

that is good, first muslims against crusades being banned, now this, now ban the EDL, BNP and UKIP

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Either way, a good afternoon's work from the boys in blue. I wonder if they'll need to replace all the police station carpets, what with all the knuckle-dragging they've been subjected to today.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Why UKIP ???

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Metropolitan Police confirm more than 170 members of English Defence League arrested in order to "prevent a breach of the peace"

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Hmm, so earlier this week we had EDL supporters scaling the FIFA head quarters in protest against England not being allowed to have poppies embroidered on their shirts, and now we have them staging a protest on Armistice Day?

Full marks for consistency...

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

l am not a fan of UKIP Alan but they are not a extremist party and they have every right to march if they want to.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

As long as they don't ban all and any protest.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

...just the ones that are not to HMG's liking

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

I don't really have a problem with the EDL protesting but they should do so in liaison with the police and in the morning/early afternoon in order to avoid them all being drunk before it kicks off. They also need to weed out those looking for violence.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Doubt they would be out of bed before 11.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

So they weren't doing anything even slightly wrong and were still arrested?

Says it all really.:rolleyes:

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Let me just complete that quote

;)

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

I find it hard to believe they got started on. What kind of moron would start on 160 EDL members? Also why were there so many of them in one place?

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Here's why.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

160 people outside one pub in the middle of London is an odd gathering of people. Especially one with a history of violence. Their claim that someone else started on them doesn't make sense and they were all arrested. A number of papers report they intended to go up to St Pauls as well. We'll wait and see what the police say.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

At least the service was over..but frankly if they had just gone home instead of banding together in the pub there probably would have been no bother.Adding booze to the situation could not have helped.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Agreed

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

because they are nothing more than a butch of anti-europeans who seem to think that britain has still got it on the world stage (they might as well think that we still have a empire)

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

And for that you want them banned the same as a terrorist group ,

OK then meanwhile back here in the real world i want a country ruled by MP's i voted for from this country not some Mp's from France or Germany :rolleyes:

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Anti-european? Or simply don't wish to be ruled by others. It's called democracy. Britain has fought several wars(not just the two world wars) to defend the right of this country and others, to not be ruled by invading countries.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

no, as a poltical group, because they are nothing more than a butch of losers that still live in a dram bubble that britain rules the world

why can't we take a bigger role in the eu

if you don't like it, change it not get less involved, that just leaves the problem, not solving it

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

And the French and the Germans don't think they run the EU. Get us out now while we still have some of our on laws left.

Give us a referendum

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

They have every right to their political beliefs just as do the BNP.

The problem in banning any organisation is that you risk pushing them underground or into changing their names.Then you won't know who they are or what they may be doing..Better to have a political party in plain view and to refute/ridicule their politics rather than just banning them.

Looks like the EDL going to St Pauls was a credible concern.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

What is referred to as 'taking a bigger role', simply means going along with whatever Berlin and Paris say. It's not just a matter of Britain being told what to do, but others in the EU being told what to do.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

and what do we do after we leave the EU

any ideas?

Britain has the joint 2nd biggest number of mep in the european parlement

---------- Post added at 22:23 ---------- Previous post was at 22:21 ----------

hence why along with banning them, i plan to ban all their members from entering the country and living in it

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

Sounds like the ranting of a BNP member to me. They want to ban people from living here who have a right to.

Party first then thank the voters for seeing sense

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

And how does that actually mean anything, when there are numerous countries.:rolleyes:

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

I'm sure there was a topic here, and it isn't Europe.

I believe it was some Neo Nazis being arrested for hanging around a pub claiming to have a quiet drink to celebrate people killed in conflict.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

i am only want extermists banned

and i am not a member of that godforsaken orgainsation and never will be!
