So they support largely the things that are specifically outlined as being okay by their scholars....but not an iota more.
That's of course, EXACTLY THE POINT.

This may surprise some, especially with me being a fiercely proud Englishman and supporter of The Union.....but my Grandparents were from The Republic and I was nominally raised Catholic.
In addition I actively support Celtic F.C.
I have many friend in Glasgow and around Scotland.
When I go to watch Celtic I meet up with quite a large group of Celtic fans and have a great time.
The vast majority of them disapprove of the sectarianism that is quite prevalent throughout Scottish football and dislike the singing of Rebel songs etc.
They are to a man disgusted at the anti-poppy sentiments expressed by a section of Celtic supporters.

Yet another 'expert' who has been hoisted on his own petard!
Rahman had been the local party's choice of candidate after taking legal action against his previous exclusion from two shortlists, only to be removed by Labour's national executive committee following allegations of membership irregularities, vote-rigging, intimidation and the assertion that he had been "brainwashed" by the Islamic Forum of Europe. Rahman denies all the claims.

You are so sure that you are correct but yet you are so wrong.
Excuse me if I take everything you write in the future with a large pinch of salt.
This is only a suggestion, but how about you and Sherlock Holmes actually know something about what you are talking about before you comment?
Just a thought.

"If a new party was set up that wants to defend the English, create an English parliament, control immigration, challenge Islamic extremism, restrict the building of Mosques and make all public buildings fly the George Cross or the Union Jack."
21% definitely support it
27% consider supporting it
10% undecided
15% probably not support it 2
7% definitely not support it

They just said on BBC News At Six that the 170 were arrested over concerns they were 'planning to target an anti-capitalist camp'.....????
So 'concerns' are enough to get someone arrested nowadays?
If true, wtf has an anti-capitalist protest got to do with the stated aims of EDL?
And how disrespectful on today of all days?
It all seems a bit strange to me and not quite right.

Of course, if you're the kind of individual that would consider "unsupportable claims with no proof" as fact and reality as long as it fits in their own personal agenda of bigotry and hate, then I'll assume that these baseless, unsupported allegations are in fact true.

What crime had they actually committed?
Surely being arrested to 'prevent a breach of the peace' implies that no actual crime had yet been committed but The Police thought there MIGHT be - surely that's not legal and if it is it's pretty damn worrying and quite a threat to ALL of our civil liberties?
Think I'll have to make a few phone calls.
