We all know the EDL are thick and therefore find counting beyond ten difficult, but this takes the piss. An EDL coach with only 25 passengers and only 57 passenger seats!) had a slight prang and now 78 EDL members are claiming compo. The EDL forum board are up in arms, some even laughably claiming it to be an anti-fascist fit up
Taken from the Daily Mirror:
Seventy-EIGHT English Defence League supporters are trying to claim for whiplash injuries in a coach crash... when only 25 of them were on board.
The claims were lodged after the coach carrying party members from Gateshead to a rally in Preston, Lancs, was involved in a minor collision.
Days later dozens of EDL supporters submitted a bid for compensation for whiplash injuries which they said were caused by the crash.
But the coach firm says only 25 people were on the bus - and the vehicle has just 57 seats. Maria Caris, spokesman for Caris Coaches in Gateshead, said she is now considering legal action amid fears her firm is being scammed by members of the extremist party, which opposes the spread of militant Islam.
She said: "They must think we're idiots.
There are 78 claims in so far and the phone is still going with people asking for our insurance details. They are all saying they were on the coach."
Recalling the rally - which ended in violent clashes with police - she added: "These 'whiplash injuries' could have been caused when they were fighting with the police in Preston."
Driver Christopher Cartwright said he'd be amazed if any of the 25 on board were hurt in the crash last month. He said: "There was not much more than a scratch on the back corner of the coach."
Yesterday even their own supporters were protesting. EDL's Alan Spence wrote on the party's Facebook site: "Are you taking the p*** or what? There were only 20 people on the f*****g coach."
The Forum posts are just as laughable claiming that the EDL fraudsters have tarnished the EDL's image, yeah this is the image of a group who get drunk, cause violence, have proven links to the BNP, NF, C18. Whose members make nazi salutes and racist chants at demos, who claim to be against homophobia but beat up their own gay members in pubs and whose leaders have served time for stabbing rival football fans or have arrest records for beating up women and cocaine possession as well as attacking the police and are awaiting charges of mortgage fraud.
This Sunderland FC forum post sums it up:

No doubt the EDL trolls skulking on Indymedia will flood over to this thread and post under multiple alliases about how wonderful, non-racist/homophobic/anti-nazi they all are while demonizing muslims as Hitler demonized Jews (without of course seeing the irony of doing so but still claiming to be anti-nazi at the same time.)
