  1. No matter what the apologists , stooges, lackeys, and lapdogs of radical Islam in the UK political class do IMHO the EDL will continue to grow in numbers and influence among the UK populace, who have had enough of the Quislings of radical Islam in their own government giving special and openly preferential treatment to a minority who openly defy UK laws and societal norms. The people are neither fools nor blind, hopefully during the next round of elections they will vote for candidates who would be more receptive to the rights of everyone not just a select few. Much of this is due to the Political Correctness of the feckless and spineless elected officials absolutely afraid of being labeled as ‘racist or biased.

  2. Muslims must be stopped!

    People are coming to their senses and have had enough with Islam and Muslims. It’s about time we did something about Muslim’s intolerance and barbarianism!
