"we are disgusted with the behaviour of the so called fucking students .. we support British police .. we are your allies .. we cause no harm to this nation .. "

" the british police are here to uphold democracy!"

"winston churchill is everything England is about .. the man is a fucking prophet "

" students living off their dads bank cards who have never lived a normal day in their life .. they do not understand what it is to be a working class member of this community"

" we stand for england we stand for winston churchill we are the true choice of england we are the patriots"

and then they usual bollox ".. Islam rules this country with fear ..we are living it .."

what a fucking eejit! Islam has no power in Britain!

So the claim is it is 'working class' to support Churchill.

Robinson you are either thick stupid or playing a very dirty game. Soon you will be attacking all those who are fighting against the cuts, fighting for their jobs and services.

and so who was Churchill? Born in Blenheim Palace ( yes Palace) Churchill was a member of the British aristocracy. He went to the second most senior private school, Harrow. He joined the army as an officer after attending Sandhurst and found the income to small so his millionaire mother bankrolled him. He was in the army for 4 years before becoming a journalist and then Tory MP for Oldham. He was First Lord of the Admiralty at the start of the First World War, but was obliged to leave the war cabinet after the disastrous Battle of Gallipoli.

As Home Secretary in 1911 he ordered troops to shoot at striking railway workers in Llanelli killing 2. In 1920 he suggested poison gas should be used against the Kurds of Iraq "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes" but village buring and aerial bombing subdued them and it was not used. In the General Strike of 1926 Churchill was reported to have suggested that machine guns be used on the striking miners and he argued that "either the country will break the General Strike, or the General Strike will break the country" and claimed that the fascism of Benito Mussolini had "rendered a service to the whole world," showing, as it had, "a way to combat subversive forces" and called Mussolini the "Roman genius... the greatest lawgiver among men." In 1930 he proposed abolishing universal sufferage ( everyone having a vote). He attacked the Indian pacifist Ghandi in 1930, and said ".. Gandhi-ism and everything it stands for will have to be grappled with and crushed."

Churchill is above all remembered for opposing appeasement of Hitler and Nazism, but while stated in the House of Commons in 1937 "I will not pretend that, if I had to choose between communism and Nazism, I would choose communism" in 1935 Churchill expressed a hope that Hitler might yet "go down in history as the man who restored honour and peace of mind to the great Germanic nation and brought it back serene, helpful and strong to the forefront of the European family circle." and continued to support the fascists in Italy and Spain.

He wrote great speeches during the war. His first speech as prime minister was the famous "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat". Another included "... we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." Though he 'led' Britain to defeat the Germans the British people massively rejected his politics in the 1945 election.

That Churchill is a hero for working class people is an idiot idea. Churchill is a symbol of the British upper class. While he was correct on Hitler, unlike many othe politicians, this man was deeply anti-working class and deeply anti-trade union.

Tommy Robinson is trying to turn the EDL into a loyalist mob, using anti-Muslim bigotry and lies, that can be used to attack those ordinary British people fighting for their jobs their communities and their services.

While people have attacked the EDL as racist before, that was never quite correct. Now we have a simple accusation. That Tommy Robinson is a Tory!
