I see the EDL are giving Nazi salutes again, in Manchester?

Update:

One of their leaders arrested in Birmingham before they set off, for distributing racially aggravated material, I see:

    Isn't that just the Bellamy salute?

    You see that! I see most answerers who have clicked on the link you give state in their learned opinions "there were no nazi salutes" and many submit from their own experience the organisation you refer to are just an organisation of gays not Nazis.

    So seems you were wrong? BUT regarding this fanatical hatred you express for Nazism in 21st century in Britain, I do know from what I see and hear with my own ears there is in fact one political party today represented in the British House of Commons that is openly anti Semitic.That Party's only MP (George Galloway) can be heard uttering antisemitic raves on almost any Wednesday evening on Iranian "Press TV" (Sky channel 515 in the UK). I well remember the same British MP used to be a great friend and passionate supporter of another modern day Nazi - Saddam Hussein - and that was why he was expelled from the Labour Party.

    So having discovered your mistake from the learned Yahoo community, if you do really want to express hate against Naziism in the UK please tell us why you don't direct your understandable hatred for Nazism in that direction?

    I didn't see any nazi salutes. I also didn't see anything particularly multi racial about the group either. I'm not quite what what chants of "Enger-land" have to do with being opposed to muslim extremists.

    With regard to Fists comments - does anyone else notice that people who go on about being anti-gay all the time are actually just masking their 'real feelings'? Must be quite exciting seeing all those men huddled together, eh Fist?

    As Robert Capa was wont to say "if your pictures are not good enough, you are not close enough".

    Capa was with the Republicans fighting Fascism in Spain and landed in the first wave of American troops at Normandy.

    So, photographers - you need to get closer to the Fascists. Blurry shots prove nothing.

    The sad part about these scenes is that we will see more like them, because we have no control of anything in this country except increase in living allowances!.

    I have a spare pair of glasses as you appear to need them.There are many football games in progress at the moment and many many fans are giving what you describe as a nazi salute.I suppose it will give the UAF something to do for the rest of the season,protesting at football grounds.Your attempt at distorting the truth is SAD.

    So no Nazi salutes - just involuntary twitches that affected them all together.

    "Fist of Lies" says that the majority of UAF members are gay or lesbian. Can he tell us where he got this 'fact' from? Can he back this up?

    Of course not, because this BNP/EDL supporter generates facts by...making them up. Please, "fist of lies", prove me wrong?

    EDIT: Fist - so it ISN'T fact, it's your belief. Just because you believe something enough, doesn't make it fact. So you did make it up.

    Secondly, have you ever considered that people might act other than out of self-interest? Or in the "World of Fist" does no one ever do something for anyone else, just because it's the right thing to do?

    I support equal gay rights, but I'm not gay. I support the Tibetan Freedom movement, but I'm not Tibetan. I oppose fox hunting, but I'm not a fox. Is that too hard for you to understand?

    I saw raised hands but no nazi salutes....there's no good in spreading hate ...I'm not exactly a fan of the EDL being asian but ''I may abhor what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it''. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech one way or another, they actually seemed quite peaceful.

    Liar you can only be in the EDL IF YOU SUPPORT LUTON TOWN

  • I dare say it will appeal to the brainless cretins who represent the BNP

    But most decent, thinking people will be appalled at the antics of the EDL.
