2) Seeking asylum: Greece is often the first country of entry into the UK. They have a zero acceptance of asylum applications, in direct contravention of the Human Rights law that says people have a right to seek asylum. People, regardless of their situation, persecution, dangers they face, are held in appalling conditions before being deported. Many have been 'disappeared' once returned. Greece is the paid fall-guy of Europe, doing the dirty work of other European countries.
3) Why this country: Most who seek asylum here have links - family, historical links through colonialisation/invasion, language. I've met asylum seekers who worked as translators or guides to the british army and who were then left to be tortured when the army moved on.
4)Self-harm: The EDL claims to represent british people. They don't. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer self-harm as a result of abuse, stress, pain. Often, they are unloved children, which I suspect you were yourself. Why else would you seek to target the most vulnerable people in the country who have no voice of their own.
