I have a fear that EDL has peaked, the non stop attacks against nazies and right wing groups prove this to me; also for how much longer will the police give the go ahead to Demos that cost the police and tax payers thousands of pounds I think a BIG rethink is needed. |

Unless taxes dramatically raise during a protest, I don't think it should be a problem. Plus the UAF seem more of a worry, larger numbers and as you've seen videos of them; they would cause a lot more trouble than the nazis. |

I thought he meant the rate of which the number of member's are increasing. This should peak after every demo. But after reading the Title, it appears he does not. How did you check that White Rage? The number of registered member's on the main Forum page still appears to be steadily rising. |

Doubt is the start of all failure, In situations like this a group simular are uneditable. Because there are numbers exceeding 700+ people feel confident going to marches the hard part is over and done with. It is shame the Islamists did not have there march with the news coverage I think our support would of doubled.

If the Goverment had listened to the British and white working class concern about Islam in British and White working class communities than maybe the EDL would not of formed. All we want is a voice to express our opinions without being regarded a "racist" or "islamaphobe" but then again the goverment depends on devision in poor communities. Freedom is not free. | |

I fear we are losing support, main reason being there is a lot of what could be interpreted as generalised hatred on the forum of late. And also some sillyt bickering we don't need....at all. We need to get back on with organising our demos, showing we are peacefully protesting and that we are against extremists. Feelings are running high after the shootings in america and that "cop" in afghanistan but we must try and use this to further our cause. Bickering and slating everything muslin wqill only cause us to lose members. |

What White Rage is saying is that the constant postings against people who sympathise with the BNP is losing EDL support. I also agree that there seems to be a great deal of bickering. There definitely seems to be lack of direction and maybe a shift away from the original motives. The video from Leeds to me just looks like a poor showing and rather amateurish. It is time once again to rally the nation behind the cause or Great Britain will be no longer. For real. |

Not only England. In most of the democratic world the political platforms of the left were hijacked by people who actually advocate another kind of fascism. This pushed some people to the far right and left others with no public voice. EDL, Pax Europa and hopefully other movements provide, at long last, patriotic and truly democratic people with an opportunity to defend democratic values. This is why EDL is constantly growing, and why fear of its potential resulted in a smearing campaign. Aligning with the BNP and the like will drive democratic liberal patriots back home and reward the Guardian & co.. |

White Rage I like you I really do. In this particular instance, you are talking out of your bottom mate. We are more and more becoming heard by the mainstream, people are realising that we are not about what the SWP say we are. This will not peak for a good long while yet. |

Far from it, the support for the EDL & against extremist Jihadists will only increase unless something drastically goes pear shaped and I can't see that happening. The numbers in the EDL will only get bigger and the voices more louder as time goes by.

You only have to read the newspaper or watch the TV everyday to see why the EDL will not die out, i'm in this for the long run and i hope everyone else is to. If we fail and our enemy(s) pevail then we've let down our children and our nation. |

I cant see how the EDL is loosing momentum, far from it! Inevitably there are always going to be differing opinions from social and political stances, we can argue amongst ourselves, we can debate each other (preferably in a polite manner although thats not always possible as thats human nature) but the focus is very clear and it appeals to ALL. I cant see why the EDL would fail at all. It would take something apocalyptic to ruin this, as long as we stick to a UNITED consensus of what the EDL is about then we should be fine. Simple as. |

the op is i think thinking too much about the political / media onslaught. They would like to repeat the same ole EDL is facist / racist record..... and you are falling for it..... EDL is growing, slowly ..... it is heading in the right direction, it wont happen over night, if your looking for EDL to have 20,000 members after 4 months then your expectations are too high. There are a lot of people who are sitting on the fence and have been waiting for that right moment ot make the leap. What EDL does lack, is more people from the ethic communities wqithin the ranks at the marches. I was having a chat with someone the other day about image and first impressions and really it dawned on me ... i will do another post on this ... It is unfortunate that we will attrach some nubs that will try and steer the forum discussions in the wrong direction. But being a supporter of free speech we need to allow these discussion to take place, albeit with moderation to remove any remarks that are not within the remit of the EDL i.e. racist ones |

well im new and im glad your here but dont stop. or we are then going to live under sharia law. they protest the way they do as they are scared. but why do uaf oppose edl so much. im not sure as your sending the right message its not a racist organization. why do they not oppose evil islamic marches/protests? i dont know i think a key thing would be convincing them (be nice to them understand them why they oppose edl so much) it sounds silly but i think its the way,they stop protesting against us the edl popularity will rocket but what do i know im just a normal bloke o and a newbie |

It's far from peaked mate, far from it. This is an organisation in it's infancy and it is snow balling not peaking. More and more people are joining and more and more people are talking about it. The EDL will be in the tens of thousands if we keep up the momentum and continue to take to the streets. I do think we need to grab the media interest more though. |

Thing will go up and down, we might have numbers down on one demo only for them to go up at the next one. It happens with any grouping such as the EDL, as long as we keep the momentum going things will be fine. |

I reckon much more for Notts, as we wont be falling for any Choudary wild goose chases and it's a bit more central for the Southern guys to be able to attend. |

In a way the media are doing us a favour as they are keeping us in the spotlight.Even this crap about being far right is still free publicity and numbers always seem to increase after each mention on TV or in the papers. Nottingham?Probably around 1500-2000 as its easy to get to.The Mercians are parading through the city on the 5th so there should be a lot of people on the streets. |

People aren't as stupid as the media think they are. Every negative article is just free advertising - there's still many people who havent really heard of us - each one will prick readers' curiousity. They'll come here and make their own mind up. Most rational people will be on our wavelength. As you can be rational and be on a different wavelength?! We could have 5000 on marches by the this time next year. Easily. |

I do agree that the demos are very amateur to say the least. It is a bit disappointing when you stand around for a couple of hours only for a couple of people to read pieces of paper of which very few can hear. If you are not stood right by the speaker you cannot hear a thing. I will still support the cause, but i may do what a lot did in Leeds and just show my support from outside the designated demo area. Because i refuse to queue for 25 mins for a piss. But like i say i will still be there in Nottingham. |

Yeah fair point. I don't know what the leadership is doing but we perhaps need to advertise more. Despite what they say newspapers are beholden to the filthy lucre, if we pay them money, they;ll advertise our demonstrations. The rank and file bring more people into the fold via the internet and leafleting pubs in their area etc. Coaches could be arranged to provide discounted travel for those put off by the cost of traveling. Another suggestion is to take merchandise to sell at the demonstrations, as not everyone has an ebay account and not everyone who does, will know its being sold there. PLus people are more likely to buy when they've had a few. ![]() |
