The English Defence League have gone to great lengths to let people know that they are not the British National Party. The BNP have also distanced themselves from the single issue EDL who are demonstrating against radical Islam and mosques. In fact Nick Griffin himself has described them as a "dangerous honey trap" and has banned EDL from the BNP and the EDL have banned the BNP back.
While the BNP and EDL argue what is apparent is that mnay EDL including Joel Titus the youth leader for the EDL have been in talks with UKIP and support them.
The UAF/SWP are wrong in calling the EDL the BNP. The UAF/SWP should change their placards and chants to EDL = UKIP and stop shouting "EDL = BNP = National Front". The EDL mantra is Black and White Unite...it is futile to keep calling them racist.
As for the UAF/SWP claiming that they are fighting class war ...Get out of our faces! The UAF/SWP are all middle class and the EDL are moslty working class...HOWEVER the people behind the scenes are middle class and well off. As usual.
The anarchists meanwhile are divided on this one...some are pro EDL, some against and some are still sitting on the fence.
It is interesting that the UAF/SWP have NEVER addressed the fascism of Radical Islamist groups like Hizb-ut-Tahrir who most moderate Muslims don't want in a town near them.
The UAF/SWP need to wake up to and own up to the fact that [Chris Renton aside], the EDL are not the BNP or associated with them. It's UKIP not the BNP that seem to be on the political side of the EDL.
