Politics, and evening.
I'm quite interested in this whole English Defence League thing, and no side is trying to reason with the other, so they're getting stone-wall'd. None of them would admit the other half has _any_ good points what so over and can't see that considing a few minor things could get the other half to conseed something bigger. For example :-

The EDL say they talk for the working class and that there is an undercurrent of fear about islam in the UK, and the other side say they don't speak for anyone. Well, that's silly, they're putting a voice to a fear against islam extreamism, and a lot of people really do think that the UK is going too far out of it's way to help islamic people, in the respect of benfits and goverment services. But you can counter that arguement by the other groups of people who claim sick benifit when they shouldn't. You could probably easerly get the EDL to admit they're just as much in the wrong (if they didn't stonewall).

There are a lot of people who think the voilance seen in the middle east will, reach the UK. It's a valid concern, it's happened before, it's not impossible. But the verious goverment forces are standing up and taking note of it, they're expelling the likes of Abu Hanza. They're listening in when they have reports, and where are these reports coming from? Exactly, not many non-muslims in a mosque. You could get the EDL to admit there that it's not muslims, but extremests, that are the problem. But what about extremests in the EDL? They don't condone violence, apparently, so maybe they should report members who are showing signs of hatrid to non-extremest muslims? Makes sense really, the people in the mosques are.

Hitler was the embodiment of evil, but he liked dogs. Both of these are facts. One does not negate the other.

See, simple negotiation, in all the interviews I've seen and heard to day, such as from the radio, the presenter badgers and rams points home rather than letting people tie their own noose, which would have been so easy.

The truth is, no political movement represents my feelings and views, it wouldn't be right to ask for them to cater for one person. I don't think there are lots of problems with this country, I don't know all the solutions to all of them, but I strongly believe that not letting 'the other side' speak just fucks things up.

- Fish'n'Chips for dinner, extra HP Guinness sauce. Got an extra fillet for free because the 'medium' ones were small and the big one was medium. Probably polock instead of cod anyway.

The reports given to the police about extremism within the mosque will come from the same sources as information on EDL violence; informers and spies.
As regards the violence in the Middle East reaching the UK, that's entirely unlikely. There is absolutely no terrorist organisation on the planet capable of inflicting the scale of violence used on a daily basis by the armies currently fighting over there.

Now the EDL do not, and cannot represent the "working class." All they can do, and do, is represent a point of view that is shared by some members of all classes in England.

For all my complaints about the UK, and there are many, I am always happy to say that it is, on the island of Britain, a safe and healthy democratic society. In this context it is important to allow the EDL to protest legally, and for decent people to show up, and do their civic duty of kicking the living shit out every EDL scumbag they can lay their boots on.

Yeah', that's what I mean, about spies and informers... they'll always be people in the group who think others have gone to far, or want to jump up the ladder themselves so stab people in teh back.
Oh'aye, totally agree about the scale of voilance in the middle east, what I mean is, a phsyical attack happening.

Yeah', that's what I meant, about representing the 'working class', it's that they claim to represent the working class.

Totally, the fact that I could say this in, say, the middle of a pub on on the telly, makes Briton great.

There'll be people who are involved, but opposed to full blown terrorism, and there will be undercover cops. Both are good.
And yes, your freedom to say this is one of the best things about your country. The better thing about your country is that most people will agree with you.
