Ha ha, so it`s "being on the far right" just by having an opinion that you don`t agree with?
Anyone Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is a nasty racist thug with multiple names and multiple convictions (including assaulting a police officer called to a "domestic" between him and his wife") who irony of irony is the son of immigrants from another country. He thought a picture of a mosque on facebook was an example of "creepingsharia" only it was the Taj Mahal.
Why would they have a picture of a curry house on Facebook?
i had a "creepingsharia" after eating in there ruined a perfectly good pair of jeans
I agree, he's done a brave thing .. new political movements are all too often hijacked by extremists who look to violence either as an attempt to gain desired outcomes or simply because they enjoy violence for its own sake.
And by the way, the twit Ed deserves to have his name spelt correctly by all you political geniuses out there .. are you ready .. it is MILIBAND (one L) and not MILLIBAND .. I thank you
Plenty on here have generalised all EDL members as 'violent thugs' in the past. Though at the last demonstration there was over 250 UAF members arrested, many carrying weapons.
Free speech for everyone except those who we don't agree with, doesn't really go along with their democratic, love all mission statement.
It's a very significant move in terms of British "politics" and worth discussing, if everyone can keep it civil.
With respect CE, its not really politics as he and the EDL has nothing to do with politics in the same way other political party's do. He and the group were a 'protest street movement'. Other than that I agree with you.
Of course it's politics.
Politics is not confined to the Palace of Westminster.
I get what your saying, I guess that everything that happens has something politics somewhere along the lines if not directly
Basically this. Everything is politics in some way. I hope this leads to a decrease in right-wing extremism and therefore less baiting from UKIP + Conservatives to win those votes. But its doubtful.
Never had any time for him or the EDL, Robinson or whatever his real name is has plenty of previous of reinventing himself, he's always come across to me as an attention seeker looking for notoriety, as well as his previous links to IRA sympathising.

I actually find him a very interesting person to listen to. Much more articulate and intelligent in the way he conveys his point than many give him credit for.
His interviews on TV are generally spoiled by presenters with an agenda of cutting off his every word and slapping him down to make themselves look brave.
I know that won't please some on here, but oh well.
Agree with cafctom. I disagree with Tommy Robinson massively in terms of politics, but I think he generally holds his own when I've seen him on TV being interviewed and isn't intimidated by the likes of Paxman. He also stands up for a version of class politics that no one on the left does, or at least no one who ever gets interviewed does. I'll reserve judgement on this move for now, as I'm not sure he's changed his spots, but am prepared to be proved wrong.
