There's potentially two reasons: 1, He was denied entry to the US, and it's unlikely he'd have been allowed in at that time - big anniversary of 9/11, meeting with Pam Geller and a number of other hate groups - It was a whole big cocktail of: NO! 2, He might not have had his own passport at the time - One of the charges currently listed against him is a failure to hand in his passport on time as he was ordered to in accordance with his football ban and the start of Euro 2012. However, I don't know when and if his passport was returned, but I do remember a lot of people wondering not just how he funded himself to go there, nor how he got in due to his previous refusal (we'd all genuinely forgotten about that, it was 2 years ago!) but how he got in as we were sure he'd handed his passport in. We all just assumed it had been returned - it might not have, apparently. e: just been reminded of the other bit of passport forgery he's been involved with... This is from 2-3 years ago just after his ID was exposed for the first time (Back then the EDL were NEVER seen out in public without ski masks - they claimed that they couldn't reveal their true identities because there were Muslamic assassins who would target their families, because with great fuckwittery comes great paranoia) He tried to prove that he wasn't "Stephen Yaxley-Lennon" but instead some fellow called Paul Harris. This was just a photoshop mind, nothing completely illegal - I guess, I've just been reminded of it and the early days. KayTee fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Oct 23, 2012 |

So the US denied him entry for wanting to attend a gig with Pam? Good on them, I guess, I just thought Gellar and her revisionist pals were kosher upstanding people in the US these days - I guess Tommy is much too frothing and unintelligent to come across as housebroken as Gellar, though.

Things are moving so quick at the moment that I fully expect that by the time I've written up and submitted this post some new act of idiocy will have happened. Here's where we are so far - Tommeh is definitely in prison for the foreseeable, and him using a fake passport to enter the USA is pretty much accepted as fact by EDL and Anti's alike - regardless of this pretty blatant breech of the law, Tommeh is still referred to as a political prisoner. Paul 'Westie' Weston hasn't been seen or heard of since he was released from custody after demanding to see someone using a fake name at the wrong prison. The EDL's main page published this article It opens with the title WE ARE ANGRY AND OUTRAGED Followed by the GIS image for a mid-life crisis. (No kidding) The article starts with: quote:We're not angry, we're very disappointed... Well, at least they're consistent. quote:The recent arrest of EDL Leader Tommy Robinson really stinks. It's come about as a result of the Police preventing a planned disruption of the peace, as well as Tommeh's breaking of the law. (One almost certainly based on this event not a few days earlier) quote:It stinks because he is currently being held alongside numerous Muslim inmates who have already made it clear that they don’t exactly wish him well. I thought we had a two-tier system the let Muslims get of scott free? quote:And it stinks because it is all part of a long-fought campaign to silence both Tommy and the EDL. Reading this and the innumerable blogs all screeching "Free Tommy Robinson" are evidence of this politically motivated silencing of the EDL. quote:Tommy has been dragged from one court to another – almost always without any serious chance of conviction Things Tommeh has been convicted of in the last 3 years: quote:Convicted of using threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour 24/08/2010 at Luton Vs Newport County. Luton magistrates sentenced Lennon to a 12-month community rehabilitation order, a three-year ban from football and ordered him to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work. Just after a quick search. quote:In one sense it works, because it means we have to spend a lot of time and money on legal appeals, when we would much rather spend it on serious campaigning and on organising demonstrations. Remember this - it'll come up again later. quote:This [arresting EDL criminals] is encouraged by our opponents – by Islamists, the far Left, and others who care more about demonising people than they do having a fair and open debate. Because they keep acting like racist, fascist Islamophobes... quote:Their job is made far easier whenever we do not show a united front. Remember this too! quote:In fact, we are one of the most important forces in the battle against far Right extremism. *Milknose* The rest of the article is more of the usual "Grrr! Muslims!" blinkered Daily Mail foaming but it's isn't nearly as funny as the above few quotes, especially in light of what is coming. Kev Carroll has been officially promoted as the leader of the EDL. Yup. Kev Carroll, BFP Co-Vice-Chair and potential PCC candidate, who can barely string a sentence together without guidance, who for nearly two years was an EDL nonentity, just hovering over Tommeh's left shoulder, is going to "Lead" the EDL. Oh! Speaking of which, Have a quick update on Kev's PCC campaign! Victim Support organised a Q&A session for PCCs, giving them a good grilling on what their priorities will be. Guess who wasn't invited? An Open Letter to Victim Support Bedfordshire - From the British Freedom PArty quote:I am greatly dismayed to learn of your decision to exclude British Freedom candidate Mr Kevin Carroll from the recent Victim Support event in Flitwick for Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) candidates. quote:You reportedly also said: “As a charity we have no statutory obligation to invite all candidates in the same way as other organisations. We did not want to, and we weren’t prepared to engage with their [British Freedom's] candidate”. Well there's your answer, matey! quote:By what right do you, as a representative of a publicly funded body, distort the democratic process by selectively denying candidates access to a publicly reported forum, Well, they answered that themselves, if you'd have bothered to listen: quote:“As a charity we have no statutory obligation to invite with all candidates in the same way as other organisations. But the BFP butthuring continues: quote:How is it that none of the trustees or managers of Victim Support (and none of the invited candidates for that matter) raised even a murmur of protest at the politically motivated exclusion of the British Freedom candidate? Because everyone agreed? quote:Victim Support performs important roles on behalf of victims of crime in Bedfordshire, and will continue to do so with the active support of the new Commissioner. In order that we may rectify your regrettable omission I would like to extend to you an open invitation to answer the above questions in a public forum; to allow Mr Carroll the same opportunity as the other candidates to present his ideas on improving support for victims and witnesses in Bedfordshire; and to allow him the same opportunity as other candidates to sign up to your ‘five pledges’ to crime victims. He's still waiting. So... Kev Carroll is currently leader of the EDL. And on the horizon, this weekend is a march in Walthamstow. Well, possibly a static protest in Walthamstow This one should be a good one to watch - given that all the 53 Trojan Furnature Van warriors were all presented with these conditions on their release: quote:Dear Community Members So Kev Carroll, Westie and a whole bunch of others, who are mostly understood to be regional organizers and other motivators cannot attend, under threat of arrest. 53 people is anywhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of the average turnout of a recent EDL demo. So, what was Kev's first contribution to his new barmy army? Surely a rallying call, "Unite the Right!" Show a cohesive front! Call to arms and make the demo mean something! Ha! Don't be so loving daft! Well, he starts off okay... quote:During my time of temporary detention for allegedly "conspiring to cause a public nuisance" which has caused me much stress and inconvenience, I have to say a massive thank you to all those proud patriots who have stuck by me and Tommy. Through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad we have continued in our struggle to battle against many enemies, be they violent Islamists, the far left and the very real and very present far right, we continue to battle. Usual fare. quote:There aren't enough words in the English dictionary that can describe the bravery of genuinely loyal and patriotic EDL members, There are, you just don't know them [/monkeyisland] quote:It is however somewhat tempered with a disturbing reality, I say this with a heavy heart because I feel compelled to, and I wish I didn't have to but now is the right time to say it. I have not come this far, or fought so hard at much personal cost to allow false patriots to dictate the direction or ethos of the EDL. Hoho! What's this? Remember that "United front" note I asked you to make a note of? quote:I have heard people say "why" another collection for funds to help Tommy fight his extradition to the USA? Remember the money and funding note I also made a note of? Well here it is - the rank and file are getting a little fed up that time and time again EDL members are left to fend for themselves, while every time Tommeh plonks his arse down in the fire, the begging bowls come out. But Kev isn't done wrecking his own organisation just yet... quote:Some people think they are above the EDL, they think they are bigger and better than the EDL, they think they can lead the EDL but they do it behind a computer playing the big hard man, well that don't wash with me lads, I don't care if your from Essex or anywhere else for that matter, the bottom line is you would crumble under the pressures of leadership, Strangely enough, the Essex EDL took a bit of exception to this... Even Hel Gower, leader of the EDL 'Angles' and oftentime speech/update writer for Tommeh and Kev saw what a colossal cock up this statement was and immediately tried to distance herself from it... Brilliant - Kev's first act in charge of the EDL and he's pissed off not only the stupidly loyal Hel Gower, who is currently fending off accusations that she is the grass that got the White-Van-53's collars felt, but also the entirety of Essex, one of their larger divisions. And finally... To present an example of EDL behavior in any form of civilized setting: quote:POLICE had to be called in halfway through a planning committee meeting after far-right protesters became “abusive”. In shirt a Mosque/Community center is being demolished and rebuild somewhere else in order to make way for a supermarket and a small housing estate. The housing estate will create homes, of course, while the supermarket can create up to 180 jobs. The EDL want none of it because the word Mosque is involved in there somewhere. Well done, EDL. Well done. I for one can't wait for this weekend.

This thread reminds me of something I've been pondering: are there any liberal anti-Islamic groups like this?

Sly Pistachio posted:This thread reminds me of something I've been pondering: are there any liberal anti-Islamic groups like this? Where the left opposes Islam it tends to oppose certain kinds of Islam, in the same way it opposes, say, certain kinds of Protestant Christianity. Wahhabism and New Calvinism are both movements that are reprehensible (though to my mind the first is worse than the second), and should rightfully be opposed by the left. On the flipside, liberal Christianity and progressive Islam are both natural allies (and part) of the left, and should be seen as such. The difference here is that the right sees all of Islam as a monolithic enemy to be defeated, whereas the left tends to (or should) see it as another world religion with movements within it, some lovely, some good. That being said, the unrelenting right-wing hatred of Islam does give rise to a certain knee-jerk support of it from the left.

I'm with what can safely be termed the far left, and we've opposed both the EDL when they tried to invade and were shown the door, and people like Bilal Phillips (proponent of executing homosexuals). We've had quite the row when doing counter-protests against radical islam groups, simply because we've appeared part of the general anti-islam sentiment that exists in our country. First protest of it's kind, the social democratic and socialist groups refused to deny entry to radical right critics, and so people were coming to the show and screaming for the "arab scum to get out of arr country". Now, I'm not liberal as much as I'm an anarchist communist strongly skeptical of liberalism, but I believe your question was more on when a member of the left becomes a protestor - and the answer is, roughly, when they preach hate. One can argue that all moderate religion is oppressive and such, but I personally cannot see the harm in personal spirituality, whatever form that may take. When a church or preacher starts telling other, unwilling, members of society how to live, that's when we got a problem. In practice, there's a lot less people willing to counter-protest non-christian groups and preachers, whether through ignorance, white leftist guilt or what have you, and that means I and like-minded only mount protests when the heavy hitters or Hizb-Ut-Tahrir (Danish Wa'habist group) show up.

It's looking like the Met's finally had enough of them. Everything I've seen seems to indicate that section 14's have been set down, and the intent is to enforce them pretty darn harshly - That goes for the counterprotesters too. Here's a joint statement from Chris Robbins (Waltham Forest Council Leader) Stella Creasy MP, John Cryer MP and Iain Duncan Smith MP quote:We thank the Home Office for banning the English Defence League (EDL) from marching in Waltham Forest and support the Police as they urge the public to stay away from counter demonstrations. Bolding mine - pretty strong and deliberate language there. The EDL have been given permission to hold a demo outside the house of commons at Old Palace Yard - the EDL organizers are calling it a victory and a few members are stating that taking their grievances over the "unfair" treatment of Tommeh to Parliament is the right place to go... A cynical/optimistic part of me thinks it's a trap, hence the warning for counterprotesters to keep the gently caress away... I get the feeling the Met are hoping the EDL will misbehave right on the governments front doorstep to provide 1, a flashpoint to get May to look at controlling the group more and 2, to get as many arrested as possible - holy ground, innit. With Tommeh inside, and with his (alleged) propensity to co-operate with police, it could be possible that the Met has more on individual EDL members than they're letting on. But, hey, I could just be looking through my rose tinted glasses again - wouldn't be the first time. Either way, this weekend is shaping up to be quite fun!
