Sour Mash Posted 9 November, 2011 Share Posted 9 November, 2011 Is it just me that doesn't think the whole fifa banning the poppy thing isn't a big deal? Exactly. Plenty of people jumping on the bandwagon. We've all got plenty of chances to wear poppies and show our respect without all this fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 9 November, 2011 Share Posted 9 November, 2011 They are morons. I hate the EDL, a bunch of racist fascist thugs. I'd rather they were nowhere near this cause, but oh well. I like the EDL purely for being able to get reactions like this from some of the drips on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonraker Posted 10 November, 2011 Share Posted 10 November, 2011 Cant be bothered to read this thread in full, but its simple the EDL have no right to use the Poppy to promote their political agenda. Politicising it is the reason FIFA banned it see the irony! beacause of the actions of organisations like the EDL the ban was imposed. Bunch of muppets.

trousers Posted 11 November, 2011 Share Posted 11 November, 2011 Jolly decent of them to show their respect on Armistice Day. Near the Cenotaph as well. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-15697632 The organisation had said it would be in Westminster on Armistice Day to pay its respects to military personnel who had been killed or injured. Police said 57 arrests were made to "prevent a breach of the peace". The EDL said it originally planned to stop members of the Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) group from burning poppies near the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington. MAC had said it would stage an anti-Armistice Day protest for the second year running. But on Thursday, Home Secretary Theresa May announced MAC had been banned, and the organisation was disbanded. The EDL then urged its members to gather peacefully in Westminster on Friday "to remember the sacrifice of the fallen". On its Facebook page, the EDL said police were "taking patriots out of pubs in tens and nicking them for breach of peace". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree, but on the other hand it makes me very uneasy to see a bunch of racists trying to misuse the poppy, or indeed the national flag, to promote their cause.

Breach of the Peace is a very wooly law. You can be arrested if, in the opinion of a police officer, you remaining where you are is likely to cause a breach of the peace. It's not a criminal offence, more a preventative measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted 11 November, 2011 Share Posted 11 November, 2011 What's the problem? They were arrested to prevent a breach of the peace. They'll get released and dine out on the story for weeks to come. It prevented any ugly scenes, so fair enough, I say. I wouldn't worry about "1984". There just aren't enough coppers to enforce a police state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 11 November, 2011 Author Share Posted 11 November, 2011 I think it was ill judged to attend as a group. It politicises a non political moment of respect and remembrance. In this instance the police were right to take draconian action just as they would be completely justified to ignore civil liberties and wade into any Islamists who tried to disrupt proceedings.

I think the EDl is a pointless organisation, but what the pigs did there sounds like bullsh!t. If they are causing hassle fair enough, but to arrest them because the plod think they might cause trouble is nonsense. That behavour is only going to add support for groups like the EDL.

While it does attract more than it's fair share of idiots, I completely understand where the people behind EDL are coming from. The vast majority are genuine, passionate patriots, angered and frustrated by the behaviour of significant sections of the muslim communities in this country. I can see where the EDL are coming from and while you won't see me on any of their marches, I do sympathise with their position. They aren’t run by politicians educated at Oxbridge, supported by an established spin machine, so they won’t always get their point across in the best way. But if you were to strip down their views to the basics, plenty of normal working class people in this country would agree with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their underlying message doesn't have validity though. The idea that Muslims coming to the UK somehow threatens the English identity and way of life is bull****. They aren't making you do anything, and they certainly aren't imposing our law on us, and there is certainly no way that Sharia Law will EVER be put in place in this country above our law, as the EDL sometimes like to stir.
