These 2 videos have just been brought to my attention via Facebook. I've watched them but am somewhat confused about what they are and what they mean but they purport to be about the EDL & how it was founded. Part 1 Part 2 Can anybody shed any light on these? |

I saw a video made by the Paul Ray in question, founder of EDL in Luton a after the Anglian regiment protests apparently, which said some similar stuff to that guy in the vid. It claimed the EDL leadesrship was taken over by Chris Renton aka John Sheridan (or vice versa!), a man with allegedly extreme-right views and history. I was going to post the video, but imagined it would get pulled or I'd get banned for going over stuff from the past and stirring it. Who knows? Edited by Battle of Lepanto, Jun 3 2010, 09:26 AM.

I think Mr Ray has a propensity to go a little OTT on the Templar Knights mythologising/divine right/touched by God stuff which, whilst he may talk sense at times, would only lead the public to think the EDL were a bunch of weirdos/fruticakes. Edit: However, I hope this thread remains because my internet researches a few months ago left me with some unanswered questions. None of which interfered with my interest in discussing matters with people on this forum or attending a demo. Edited by Battle of Lepanto, Jun 3 2010, 09:25 AM.

In that case bye friends it's been nice knowing you all... By all means delete them but please don't shoot the messenger! I was asked what I thought about these and thought them suitably disturbing enough to warrant posting on here.

He used to write the lionheartblogspot, I think. Was even prosecuted for inciting religious hatred and apparently fled to the US in fear for his life, so I read. Only time will tell if there is a sinister plot to use EDL foot-soldiers as the stormtroopers of a nazi uprising. Can't see it happening myself. |

That's because the guy in the vid is Paul Ray. It's been discussed many times in the past and the EDL parted company with him because his views weren't compatible with the mainstream objectives of the EDL. The EDL wasn't set up by any one person, there's no great conspiracy theory here. There is plenty of information about him if you Google it and there's also a thread on here if you want to search for it. He also holds some fairly extreme religious views that would be incompatible with the EDL. No one gets banned or deleted for asking question, but we have been through this several times before, and it would be nice to move on. So, on that note I'm going to close the thread, as I said, there are previous discussions here which you can search for (they haven't been deleted) and there's plenty on Google, if you stick in Paul Ray EDL, if you're still interested. |

haha what a load of bollocks. Paul Ray did not found the EDL, he went on one demo and was fucked off for being a religious nut job. I can't help laughing that he actually thinks him and mad Nazi Nick are gonna take over, jog on nob heads! |
