EDLAVFC, If I was going to wear EDL colours and a well respected senior member like Ali, who I really respect asked or told me the reason why I shouldn't wear colours, I would just say TYVM Ali, for putting me straight and no colours would be worn by me.

If anyone does wear EDL clothing and it kicks off before or during the parade, I hope you all hang your heads in shame. These soldiers have come back from fighting a terrible war in a sh1tehole of a country and if you can't let them come home and have their day in peace, shame on you. That is not what the EDL was started for, it was to show respect to our soldiers, not so there will be trouble at their parades but to make sure it's peaceful for them.
I wont be hanging my head in shame, if it kicks off it wil be because the muslims took offense to it, which is their problem, not mine.

I will not be held to ransome out of fear of upsetting muslims. NEVER

It's not being pc so stop being childish, it's about having enough respect for our troops, it's about taking the upper hand and saying, we don't care what anyone says, we're doing this for our soldiers, sod everyone else.
Yes it is being P.C and yes I will be wearing one, simple as that as far as Im concerned, its up to others what they do and its up to me what I do, and I feel its the right thing to do there for I'll do what I see is right.

Mate I support the EDL 100% and respect every member equally as much, I respect Ali and all the other mods because we are on the same side but I dont respect them any more than I respect you, no man or woman is bigger than the group and no single person is my 'leader' I support the EDL and I will do whats best for the group as a whole but I am not a sheep .

I know its nothing personal mate and I respect your decision not to wear colours, but for me, I'll be wearing them. I will NOT be ashamed to be English in my own country and I will NOT pander to muslims

Ask yourself if you were a Gurkha's proudly fighting for your Queen and country in a sh1thole of a place for a tour, you get the chance to march through Nuneaton and be treated like the real heroes they are, all of a sudden, the taliban attack a handful of EDL with their colours on, other EDL and Brits are going to back you up, this would be a right kick in the pants to the Gurkha's.

This is not about the EDL or the local taliban on on Sunday, It's a special day for the Gurkha's.

Trust me there will be more battles in the near future but I sincerely hope that Sunday is not one of those battles. NS

If it kicks off, yes, it will be the muslims that kick off, but who will have incited them to kick off?

I never saw anyone wearing the EDL clothing at the last Nuneaton one, maybe if it kicks off and people are wearing them this time, the media will be able to shout out that we had enough respect not to wear them last time but not enough respect for the Gurkas.

As for the police reading this forum, good, I hope they make plans to turn anyone around that wants the trouble to kick off, as I'm sure they will be out in full force. EDL flags are enough imo, and England shirts show true patriotism.

People want to ask themselves are they in the EDL for their own personal reasons or to be part of a group/movement.
If the leadership are suggesting to go in plain clothes, then they have a good reason to say so and people should go along with the suggestion.
Why would people want to go in EDL colours and disrespect the suggestions of the leadership? It sounds like people are just wanting to vent their own personal frustrations which could be detrimental to the name of the EDL.
Have a think about it, y'all...

The compromise was not to the taliban wannabes it was to other EDL members who disagree with the colours AT the parade. The parade will be over by 12.30/13.00 ish, no doubt we will be having a few pints after where of course we should be made known for who we are to get more people with us for Leicester and forever!!!

If you are ashamed of the EDL so much and think that we are so disrespectful then why bother coming to demos ?

wearing an EDL peice of clothing to a soldiers home coming parade can not be compared to wearing a track suit to a funeral, completely different circumstances. The EDL is about supporting our troops is it not ?

Im not saying we should turn up with "no more mosques" banners or turn up chanting " E , E, EDL" etc but wearing EDL clothing (if you want to) . I cant even believe we are having this debate on here, its shocking that some people would even think about appeasing muslims in this way. :X

The thing is, it's not about appeasing muslims or the police, it's about having enough respect for our troops to let the day pass peacefully.

Any true member of the EDL will know how the muslims will react to the clothing on that day and in my opinion, any one who respects the EDL and the troops won't wear them, anyone who does wear them has no respect for anyone.

No one said it was personal mate, we undertand that, and I arent taking it in a personal way, its ok to disagree :)

If local muslims turn up and kick off because we are wearing EDL colours then whos fault would it be ? Ours for peacefully supporting our troops and standing together as one peaceful group (that was originally formed to support out troops) or muslims for taking 'offense' . The gurkas have been fighting the taliban in iraq and afgan, and we have been fighting them over here. We are fighting the same war but on different fronts. Its like telling the gurkas not to wear their British army uniform incase it offends the muslims and the muslims kick off on them. We shouldnt be appeasing muslims in our own country.

I hope sunday isnt a battle either, but if it is a battle, it wont be us that starts it

How is not wearing EDL clothing showing respect for Gurkhas, thats ridiculous.
EDL aren't attending to promote ourselves it is all about supporting those who have served this country with distinction and honour.

This isn't an EDL event and it isn't about us.

As unsavoury as people feel the ob poking their nose in is, it was politely requested some time back that we not wear colours and that request still stands as it does for all troop homecomings.

Look, at the end of the day, nobody is telling anybody what to do. We are a populist movement and we are all equal and individuals, who make our own decisions. We have enough with governments, socilaists and the State trying to control our lives.

However, we have to be careful here, we're playing a political game and there are those that are out to destroy us by tarnishing our reputation and making an example of us. We have to think smart.

The problem is two fold, one, we don't want to spoil the Gurkha's day, as that is what it is, not an EDL day. But also, it is irritating to think that we are being told what to do (even though we'd decided it already) and if the plan was to sow divisions, then it is succeeding.

A fair compromise does seem to be the one that says, if you where colours then keep them wrapped up until well after the event. Remember, we don't want to give our opponents ammunition.

Oh,, and if t does kick off during the parade because people can't be sensible about all this, don't let us expect to get good press and a bigger turn out than ever in Leicester. We already have a bad reputation and are trying to show we are not trouble causers, but some obviously don't care how we look to the eyes of the world. Shame there's always some that aren't bothered, like thise in Oldham who wore colours and kicked off when they'd been asked not to as it was not only a flash demo but a day of rememberence.

So what your saying is we must appease the muslims and no disrespect to you but I 110% disagree with you, next you'll be saying we cant speak out against them in case they 'kick off'.

No matter what we do or what we wear the media will paint us in a bad light, to them we are facist and nazis and always will be.

I dont care if the police are reading or not, Ill wear my EDL hoody under my coat then when I get to the parade I'll take my coat off if I have to.

I am in the EDL for the good of my country, not to lick anyones arse and I take orders from no body. That might sound cocky and arrogant but that is not the way I want to come across, although I am aware thats the way it seems. Like I have already said I am not a puppett and I am not a sheep, I will co-operate with the leadership but I'll take orders from no body, the EDL doesnt own me or anybody else. I love the EDL and everything it stands for but that doesnt mean I can think or speak for myself with regards to what what I'll be wearing.

Its different if I wanted to turn up in a t-shirt that says " no more mosques" or whatever but its not, its a simple black hoody with the words EDL written on the back, I cant believe Im having to defend myself on the topic, I expected a bit more courage .

There's just no point sometimes, is there. You honestly think wearing EDL colours is anything compared to wearing the uniform of the British Army, and you can compare what the EDL are doing here to what the troops are fighting over there????

You think a few demos and a couple of kick offs can compare to the hell they are living in, losing their lives and getting maimed for life???

Maybe you should go over there and see what they actually face.

Like I said, no friggin respect.

i totally understand the idea of not wearing any colours as we wouldn't want to take anything away on the day from the troops. But to being asked what to wear is ridiculous, does it matter what colour my top is ? what slogan it has ? im there to show support for the troops, i certainly wont be singing any edl songs or throwing it in anyones face that would be a different matter. What makes it even worse is that its in case muzzies don,t like it. Well i dont like nike tops with just do it slogans can the police please tell every one not to wear them as well and i dont like burkas so tell people to not wear them as well.

Remember, as others have said, this was already suggested by EDL members on here. This isn`t the Police telling us what to do, they are copying what was suggested on here.
This might be a bit paranoid but the first thing that came to mind was that the police don't want us being "undercover" as such. Much better if we are obvious and visible, much easier to identify and no public support when they get excitable with their batons.
The muslims KNOW we are coming and they KNOW we aren't going to be wearing EDL regalia, so do the Police.

So why this request? What is our most probable reaction? It'll be a two fingered salute and EDL hoodies, at least that is most probably what they expect. They had no reason to make this request, it has never been made before and it comes on the back of us deciding internally not to identify ourselves. How peculiar. We should stick with OUR plans and not be tempted to react to the old bill's provocation.

Now as your bog standard non affiliated normal person presumeably we'll be able to get some bloody good footage of abusive muslims and policemen being particularly ineffective at dealing with them.

We are going to be there for one reason only, to show support and respect for our troops not to publicise our organisation. Don't rise to the bait of the Police, they simply can not be taken at face value. I would however welcome someone int he heirarchy contacting the WMP to ask them why they have made this request to us and if they have made a similar request to muslims and if not, then why the hell not?

From what I read before the police requested this to a group - not the EDL - it was members suggesting not to wear EDL stuff. It was out of respect for the Gurkha Parade - not pandering to the Muslims. If it was to keep the Muslims happy - I would have started a thread saying everyone should wear the stuff. ;)
People are entitled to disagree - thats what makes this world interesting. Keep the points civil though - we are all in this together remember.

If the muslim kick off people will see them for what they are

Why else would muslims be there other than to kick off regardless of what clothing you have on ?

IMO anyone who doesnt wear clothing because they have been asked not to is ashamed of the EDL and what the group stands for, deep down they have doubts about the course and are afraid of upsetting the taliban, whereas people who wear the clothing arent afraid to support the EDL and arent into appeasing muslims and by wearing EDL clothing are showing more respect for our troops than those that dont wear them. Those troops are dying for our freedom and dying fighting the taliban, the least we can do is show them that they are not returing to a muslim appeasing country

Yeah. Now the Police have persuaded you to wear them after we'd made a group decision NOT to wear them. I think that the police are playing you. They've never asked us to not turn up in EDL clothing before and the ONLY time they have is AFTER we decide not to. Co-incidence? Not.

there is nothing abusive or that can cause offence on a edl hoodie so why is it such a problem wearing one ? the reason is because it may make muslims react so the police say please dont wear them, well there response should be to stop the muslims reacting and deal with them not what i wear.

If local muslims turn up and kick off because we are wearing EDL colours then whos fault would it be ? Ours for peacefully supporting our troops and standing together as one peaceful group (that was originally formed to support out troops) or muslims for taking 'offense' . The gurkas have been fighting the taliban in iraq and afgan, and we have been fighting them over here. We are fighting the same war but on different fronts. Its like telling the gurkas not to wear their British army uniform incase it offends the muslims and the muslims kick off on them. We shouldnt be appeasing muslims in our own country.

I hope sunday isnt a battle either, but if it is a battle, it wont be us that starts it
There's just no point sometimes, is there. You honestly think wearing EDL colours is anything compared to wearing the uniform of the British Army, and you can compare what the EDL are doing here to what the troops are fighting over there????

You think a few demos and a couple of kick offs can compare to the hell they are living in, losing their lives and getting maimed for life???

Maybe you should go over there and see what they actually face.

Like I said, no friggin respect.
After completing 2 6 months tours of Afghan and 2 6 month tours of Iraq I know very well what our lads are facing from first hand experience ^o)

Its no different, asking the EDL not to wear EDL clothing is like asking a British soldier to to wear his uniform on a home coming parade in case it offends muslims, no difference. Both are equally as wrong

i totally understand the idea of not wearing any colours as we wouldn't want to take anything away on the day from the troops. But to being asked what to wear is ridiculous, does it matter what colour my top is ? what slogan it has ? im there to show support for the troops, i certainly wont be singing any edl songs or throwing it in anyones face that would be a different matter. What makes it even worse is that its in case muzzies don,t like it. Well i dont like nike tops with just do it slogans can the police please tell every one not to wear them as well and i dont like burkas so tell people to not wear them as well.

i honestly can really see the reasons for not wearing them, but i should not be punished because of the way people may react to my clothes and at that they are not even offensive. I would realy like to know what the police have said the reason is for. Now if it was sent out to other groups of people asking them not to wear certain items of clothing i.e burkhas or man u tops (joke) and was sent to us as well i would be more acceptable of it but its just us why ? We all know why, check out the P.C table

Remember, as others have said, this was already suggested by EDL members on here. This isn`t the Police telling us what to do, they are copying what was suggested on here.
This might be a bit paranoid but the first thing that came to mind was that the police don't want us being "undercover" as such. Much better if we are obvious and visible, much easier to identify and no public support when they get excitable with their batons.
The muslims KNOW we are coming and they KNOW we aren't going to be wearing EDL regalia, so do the Police.

So why this request? What is our most probable reaction? It'll be a two fingered salute and EDL hoodies, at least that is most probably what they expect. They had no reason to make this request, it has never been made before and it comes on the back of us deciding internally not to identify ourselves. How peculiar. We should stick with OUR plans and not be tempted to react to the old bill's provocation.

Now as your bog standard non affiliated normal person presumeably we'll be able to get some bloody good footage of abusive muslims and policemen being particularly ineffective at dealing with them.

We are going to be there for one reason only, to show support and respect for our troops not to publicise our organisation. Don't rise to the bait of the Police, they simply can not be taken at face value. I would however welcome someone int he heirarchy contacting the WMP to ask them why they have made this request to us and if they have made a similar request to muslims and if not, then why the hell not?
Good post, good argument, and none patronising/abusive, unlike some others who are meant to lead by example ^o)

From what I read before the police requested this to a group - not the EDL - it was members suggesting not to wear EDL stuff. It was out of respect for the Gurkha Parade - not pandering to the Muslims. If it was to keep the Muslims happy - I would have started a thread saying everyone should wear the stuff. ;)
People are entitled to disagree - thats what makes this world interesting. Keep the points civil though - we are all in this together remember.

Disenfranchised Briton:

You raise a good point. Also, as far as I am aware, the police have not contacted the EDL. They contacted another group. (Someone correct me if I am wrong).
No mate your wrong, it is appeasing muslims, its because we are scared of them kicking off and ruining the day, and that is wrong

there is nothing abusive or that can cause offence on a edl hoodie so why is it such a problem wearing one ? the reason is because it may make muslims react so the police say please dont wear them, well there response should be to stop the muslims reacting and deal with them not what i wear.

I would think, That this isn't an EDL protest but a welcome home parade for the fella's that fought for our country.

So i would think wearing EDL stuff isn't a good thing for the EDL.

After the parade just throw your hoodies on and start having a good time.
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

I'll leave it there because after re-reading my posts I have come across as a bit of a cockey cnut and this was not my intentions, its just that I am passionate about our course and I only want what is best for the EDL and most importantly my/our country. Either way were all on the same side, and remember, united we stand , divided we fall :)

the EDL should treat homecoming parades as family days in my opinion, wives, partners and kids etc held in a celebratory atmosphere. if the islamists kick off then good...more members for us and the moral high ground massively in our favour.These are one of the few occasions where the public are 100% behind us and could be a massive recruitment tool for us, IF we handle it properly. A soldier doesnt want to be worried if fights are going to go off around there family and friends, let the plod handle islamists and we make sure the papers know all about it.

This is not an official EDL Demo. If anyone is wearing EDL merchandise on Sunday they will be picked on and what happens when it goes off?? All over the bloody papers, right wing EDL shame the troops home coming in riot. Then you'll get "isn't it time we banned this bunch of hooligans?". Followed by Politicians call to ban EDL Demo in Leicester. You know the press are against us, come on guys think smart it will do no good. Coaches have been paid for, save your tops for Leicester, I am.
Has anyone got a help for hero's t shirts or Support or troops or Support our Soldiers tops? It's the Gurka's day after all, let's not spoil it and play into the hands of those that are waiting for the exact moment to strike against us.
