do you think think you have it in you to help at demos in crowd control? do you have what it takes to help others control the crowds at our dcemo's? if so could you please pm me with your detail. also could you let your dvisional organiser know if you wish to proceed with this rewarding and essential voluntry work. there is no pay for this, just the satisfaction that your in there taking one for the team.

RR on behalf of the stewarding team.

How is the stewarding going to be done at the next demo mate? In pairs, squads etc. Or hasn't that been decided yet? Will numbers decide it?

everything that has been brought up on the board since yesterday has been brought up already, the more stewards we have the easier it will be for all concerned, lessons have been learnt and we are moving forward to plan for the next demo. unfortunately some of our lads took some hts for the team, one a bit more than the others, to reduce the chance of that happening again we need more volunteers. with the names that come forward, i'll be in contact with those concerned with the detail.

a demo is a demo whoever it is for, so please dont worry about that, your skill would be most welcome as will anybody else with of without sia cert. so if you wish to commit to volunteering i'd be more than happy to put your name on the list.

one of us yesterday was female, and she was up front with us trying to hold the line, women fight on the frontline in our armed forces they serve in the police and fire services are they not more dangerous than being a steward at a demo? i wouldnt want to see any of our stewards get hurt not just the ladies.

Is there any EDL personal injury insurance cover for the stewards or is it done at your own risk ?? I ask as I 'copped' a couple a few years ago dealing with two piss artists at a beer festival and had to have quite a bit of time off work. Without insurance I would have been in the brown stuff.

I done stewardin at every 1 since stoke, an will continue to do it, but we need others who are experienced and have dealt with simalar situations. I suggested a while ago that we look thru our ranks for SIA voluteers etc. I have worked with football crowds etc so again have some experience. Do have to say tho the amount of abuse we have received seems to be growing at each demo. I know this is down to just a minority of lads who are just hell bent on trouble, but the others we have stewardin need to know how to deal with these situations as they can be quite intense.

Would also suggest that the vests are only given to the people who are susposed to be stewarding, because i have seen some right idiots with them on, and had people ask me for them, purely coz they like the look or something.

We can only be sucessful in stewarding ourselves if we have the right people doing it!

Fair enough. I will make some phone calls to a few insurance companies, but unless I can sort out some sort of cover for myself at a reasonable price I will have to say no. Having been to Dudley and seen cans, bottles and bits of steel fencing being chucked about I am surprised there were not more injuries. In my view the leadership need to look into group insurance cover for our stewards particularly as various suggestions over the past couple of days about membership schemes have been ridiculed by some folks and the plan going forward appears to be to continue to let every Tom, Dick and Harry into our events and then rely on greater numbers of stewards to sort problems out. Let's hope it works.

Good luck to all the stewards going forward and stay safe.

With regards to the issue of female EDL stewards:I think we need to be careful about patronising EDL females as 'the weaker sex'. Sexism is an integral component of Islam's oppression of it's own females. Let it not be one of ours - as it once was within British society.

The sex of a steward would not matter luke, Not all coppers are built like brick out houses. Crowd control is as much about stopping people joining trouble as stopping the trouble. Plus eyes looking for the nazi scum that try to join are not dependent on sex, just observation. There is a lot more to it than the sharp end..

Have to be honest. I struggle with references to 'Nazi scum'. I know as a Jew I'm meant to loathe them as much as Muslims - and I can understand how the average patriotic British Nationalist might loathe the BNP, and use terms like 'Nazi scum' in relation to them.

But I don't loathe them - and actually think that (theoritically at least) the majority of their policy's are quite sound. Or as sound as any other political party's are.

I also believe that what Fascists like Hitler and Mussolini intially achieved i.e. restoring German/Italian industry, German/Italian fiscal strength and German/Italian national pride, can only be applauded. It's what their popularity was first based upon: and if they'd left it there then history would now remember them differently.

As a Nationalist myself I recognise fellow Nationalist hearts and minds - and therefore can't simply dismiss the BNP. I see, hear and feel the frustration and anger in BNP members with regards to the slow Islamification of their own country, and increasing inability to celebrate their own culture and history.

Surely this is the common shared anger and frustration so often expressed by EDL members?

As I say, I struggle with this particular issue. Because I'm a second generation English Jew - and I often feel that I'm intefering on a private matter between the UK's White indigenous population, by expressing any kind of opinion at all.

Ultimately, for me at least, I would always support the BNP's right to exist as a political party; and it's MP's rights to participate in the UK's political and social landscapes. I may not always agree with them. But I do believe in Democracy - and politicians like Nick Griffin were elected democractically as MP's/MEP's, by the will of the people.

Take away democracy and the will of the people and, well, you create a violent oppressive Islamic State ...

And isn't that our common goal? To ensure that the UK doesn't become an Islamic State?

I dont think the BNP raise their right arm Luke, the EDL have had a few people do that on marches. Sorry you miss-interpreted my post, I should have been clearer. Any English man raising his arm in a Nazi salute is a Traitor in my book, and has no place in the EDL (As the leadership have made quite clear in the past). Hope that helps.

With Sally C and Bolton Babe leading the call to arms how can anybody say no?
Obviously we need as many as possible and i don't mind taking a couple for the team if it helps stop the goons from ruining another demo. It adds a little more to the meaning of the day to help out in this way so i'm more than game.
