Hello I'm new to the site and wanted to put a few points across.

I can't believe how misinformed people are about the EDL. Having told my Mum that I had become interested in the EDL she was disgusted and said 'how can you support a group like that, with your brother being gay!?'
When I explained that the EDL has a gay division she was astounded.

One of her best friends is Jewish - again she was pleasantly shocked to learn you have a Jewish division. So through a little education my whole family want to know more about your group! They are all of the same mind as me - that Muslims are taking over.

She honestly thought you were anti - everything that is not White Heterosexual and British.

I really don't think the Facebook page is giving you good press - it's just attracting immature and damaging posts!

With good press you would appeal to so many people. You have certainly appealed to me.

Please tell me where I can get some literature to pass to ill-advised people!?

Thanks ;-)

Welcome, Witsend.
Stick around, we have lots of well-informed people on here who will be happy to point you in the right direction. I agree with you about the FB thing, by the way.
All we can hope is that some of the people will find their way to these forums, as you have and find out what we're really about.

WitsEnd ! What can I say mate. Dont listen to Facebook or the main press. Your welcome here as are your Mum , Dad, Gay Brother and your African next door neighbour. Were about England and our heritage. Any one who is for that is our mate.

once again i 100% agree and as stated before i think it should be restricted to only admins being able to post on the face book forum, this way the FB pages can be used as a forum of new's

I'd tell whoever doubts what the edl stand for to come on the forum. If they can't be arsed to find out for themselves, I would tell them to stick to the x factor and carry on reading and believing what the papers say. As they are beyond hope and too brain dead to make their own mind up (but certainly not my mother!)... My mother thought we were sponsored by Mossad, but she's coming to Luton in February her first demo aged 62.

and my brother is gay as well, at a recent London Demo whilst talking to the LGBT division, straight guys were coming over saying my son is gay and I'm here for him as well... you couldn't make this stuff up.

If I had a pound for everytime I and many other posters have said that FB does more damage than good I would be about 287 quid better off.

Something needs to be done about it, it really really does.

You said it all right there without even realising it!
Some groups who people may confuse the EDL with would not welcome anyone unless they were a WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) - quite obviously that's not an issue with the EDL!

Thanks for all your replies and making me so welcome ;-)

Haha wow what a mother!
I know I do not understand why people believe what is spoon fed to them. That's a great story about the London demo really heartwarming!

Fully agree...get them to just surf the topics and I am sure they will want to be involved...and tell them that we wont find their address and hound them just because they come on the forum...Its safe...maybe that might be a worry to them.

Cant the EDL copyright the name EDL & logos as theirs...so then stop the facebook joke.

David Beckham has copyrighted HIS name..

I buy and sell football ..when I put up a beckham signed England top on ebay with photographic proof...NO sh1t ..I got e-mails and a letter from his london lawyers saying I breached copyright ...and got suspended from ebay for 2 weeks...had to relist A DB top...guess the player sh1te...

Just copyright all the EDL stuff...and that will also hammer the rip off merchandise merchants..

seems Simples Admin ?

Facebook fan page does make the EDL more accessible to more people ( not always the right people - wannabee's , teenagers etc ) but the forum is certainly a more educated way to get to know what we stand for. Some great posts that are highly informative and educational ( especially HomoSapiens posts , shelfy's crisps & basslines gnomes :D ) I do use FB for my local division , but since the EDL group page was closed I gave up as got bored of seeing the rubbish that gets posted on the fan page.

welcome to the forum witsend ! x
EDL = United by friendship regardless of race or colour.

We may not see or speak to each other as much as we should , and we won't always agree on everything, but we WILL always pull together through thick and thin BECAUSE WE ARE FAMILY.

I would like to hopefully bring more light to this situation.Having joined my divisions FB page and the LGBT page and had a read through it it certainly is disheartening and something should be done.
Im not sure if anyone from those divisions use this board but someone need to say something to them,the tone of language and what is written and how it is presented.
As Im fully aware the student demos is a soar point but claiming ALL students are the same is giving the same undertone to the misunderstanding that the EDL hate ALL muslims,or are a racist organsiation which we all no to be very untrue.

There needs to be a clean up or a way of directing people here so they feel more welcomed and less thretened by a valid cause.
I will protect the human,the non extreamist human

We are EDL

The good thing about here is, so far, there's a fair few ideologies cropping up but everyone is welcome and united in a single cause. Most oppose the student demos here but I'm so for it, if it wasn't for a recent family emergency I'd of been more kettled than tea when it was all going off. Hopefully, if and when the religous extremist and pushing of Islam is sorted, the EDL can move onto other issues which oppress out personal choice/freedom.
