The English Defence League [EDL] are going to be protesting tomorrow Saturday 2nd October 2010 outside Kentucky Fried Chicken [KFC]. They are protesting because KFC serve Halal meat. THe protest will be at KFC Haslingden Road Blackburn Lancashire.

Tripe

This article is complete rubbish. The author even admits that he knows the C18 guy has been disassociated by the EDL.

And quite frankly whilst I'm not a upporter of the EDL, niether am I a supporter of KFC, who refuse to even sign up to minimal standards of animal welfare that even McDonalds have managed to do.

If the author is this person XXX as suggested or whoever it is, stop posting embarrassing articles on Indymedia, we don't need to give the EDL any more ammunition than they already have.

why not remove all names???

double standards


C18 members are in fact running entire EDL Divisions

02.10.2010 10:27

One C18 guy has (if we believe the EDL) been "disassociated" by the EDL because he refused to stop making Nazi salutes, other C18 members are in fact still running entire EDL Divisions--

Torn between three extremes

02.10.2010 17:56

I wouldn't say I detest Islam, I detest ASPECTS of Islam (as described by the person above) but I also detest ASPECTS of Christianity - Vatican cover-ups of pandemic child-rape, Vatican collusion with Nazi war criminals, millions dying unnecessarily in Africa owing to Vatican lies about contraception and HIV, and (before you think I'm being sectarian) hundreds of years of colonial brutality justified in the name of English Protestantism, right up to modern Nazis like the KKK and US and South African race-hate groups who try to justify their madness in the name of Protestantism

Anyway, "What do you do if you hate islam and hate the EDL?" It ain't rocket science fella - what you do is you stick up for the values that you actually believe in !!!!!!!!

Three extremes


in hoc signo vinces

03.10.2010 09:47

I don't think it is correct to call "in hoc signo vinces" a neo-Nazi slogan. Literally it means "with this as your standard you shall have victory" or "in this sign you will conquer", and has been used by dozens of organisations of all political persuasions and none.

 https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/In_hoc_signo_vinces

The origins are supposedly from Constantine I, who was the first Christian Roman Emperor, so it probably does has Christian connotations, which is probably why the EDL like it.

Any troofers reading this will take note of the fact it has been used by certain parts of the Freemasons and the Knight Templar!

antifascist


It's called a pattern...

03.10.2010 17:00

I didn't call "In Hoc Signo Vinces" a Nazi slogan, but the EDL do use the same slogan that's also used by American Nazi Party, the EDL use a shield graphic that's also used by the KKK, the EDL was co-founded by current and former BNP members, EDL supporters posted graphics on Facebook celebrating the NF, KKK, Blood & Honour, Combat 18 and the KKK, the EDL Welsh Division is run by proven Combat 18 activists, EDL Facebook postings include relentless streams of often violently racist drivel, and dozens of EDL supporters have been photographed giving Nazi salutes

It's called a pattern

EDL Meltdown?

As of early Monday morning

 http://www.englishdefenceleague.org - WEBSITE CLOSED

+ there's a "FIND YOUR DIVISION" link on the main EDL Facebook, which shows loads of links of EDL Divisions' own Facebook pages, but at least 70% of these are now defunct

Did the EDL's demo outside KFC achieve anything other than making them look like fat stupid nazi's in front of even more people than before?

Garry short Wallsend EDL

Can i just say, speaking from personal knowledge.. Garry short is neither a racist or a Nazi.. The photo you have here, is clearly a fancy dress costume wich was, by the way taken 7 years ago, long before the EDL was ever founded!! Can i also add, the Queens own grandson also 'dressed up;' in a FANCY DRESS COSTUME of the same nature for a party aswell, & i dont recall him being in your pictures labled as a racist nazi!! Given the fact that Garry short also has a son of mixed race, i fail to see how you can label him a racist!! Given the fact that in this post, you have openly labeld him as a racist, this does have a direct effect on his personal life & family.. we will not have innocent peoples lives affected by your misguided slander! If this post & labeling is not removed or.. corrected to what it actually is, we will be seeking legal advice,

Allie EDL supporter
