I didn't know they were different groups until the youngest told me. This group have taken over the small park, community centre and basketball court just off City Road near the Poets Corner pub. (I think it's Shakespeare Road) There are dozens of them there all hours of the day and night.
I understand they don't even live in the area, most of them seem to wander over from the Splott area. There has been some issues with vandalism as they make their way home, the only good thing about them is the chav's from Llanrumney who used to travel to the area to cause trouble are now to scared to visit.

So you also noticed how members with certain political views went quiet and cable forum changed not long after the last election.
The race card was a powerful tool to stifle debate, I believe I read a few months ago that there were claims that Labour paid people to go on forums and discredit any views that were not to the left.
The irony of Labour MPs makng comments about immigration
