"conservative" is bannings, beatings, and shooting out tyres. Maybe Labour means making the people dig their own graves before they're killed off.

Oh, that's what's happening now. Same same only different.

Well put.

This is quite a comprehensive post.

To your knowledge, Dag, has the EDL EVER fought back against any of these beatings?

Has the EDL ever beat anyone else at these demonstrations?

I got into part one of a really long comment explaining my take on this, and then the comment disappeared. So, the short answer is "No violence from the EDL."

I obviously have a great deal of knowledge and experience to draw from, and I might go for it, thanks to you prompting me.

But, so far, the EDL is admirably restrained in spite of UAF provocation and police hostility (in significant instances.)

This is wholesale tragedy, isn't it, Dag. I can't believe that a party which was once home to Margaret Thatcher is now trying to be even worse than New Labor.

I lived in London S.W. when Thatcher was p.m., and it was a time of magic for the nation. For the first time since the end of the war people were free to live their own lives and work and buy property without the hands of Labour all over them, reaching into pockets, whispering scorn in the ears of the nervous, stepping on the toes of those moving on and moving up. Everything was moving, making, doing, getting better. Labour and the Trotskyites and so on, of course, hated it all. Thatcher was the best.

Cameron and the New Tories are some kind of evil nightmare on the land. We're witnessing the suicide of a people. It's so weird for me because these are my people; and I am so unlike them I can't believe we are related at all.
