The English Defence League uncovered | Guardian Investigations

Formed less than a year ago, the English Defence League has become the most significant far-right street movement since the National Front. The Guardian spent four months undercover with the movement, and found them growing in strength and planning to target some of the UK’s biggest Muslim communities

  1. Ever heard of the great country escape? Although the "non-white" population (which can include English people born and bred in this country, but just not Caucasian), in London has decreased, it has increased everywhere else around the country, including small towns and the countryside. Just a thought, maybe they moved out of the city after being tired of living there.

  2. I feel damn resentful too about wha is happening in our country and the real culprits are our political leaders…

    … The ones who are responsible should be protested against, Not a community or people who have no hand in the matter for resentment. The EDL are barking up the wrong tree. It's 10 Downing Street they should be barking at!

  3. That's just the same problem we're having in America..multi-culturalism and "tolerance", are breeding more reverse hate crimes than ever before thru the use of hate Speech and hate actions dressed up as Free Speech.
    However, let someone who opposes reverse racism, or who defends The Defense Of Marriage, or immigration control say something, and THEY are automatically labelled as a "terrorist" or a "racist."
    It's easy to see who the real fascists are..

  4. our police don't get brainwashed enough to shoot their on family or mother in the head. im sorry we're so weak and badminded right? and to be honest neither of these groups are right and there is mdl too. this is just like what that women said "nazis" well they are doing the same thing getting together fighting and killing one race but why? jobs. no job no life.

  5. You said it DopeteK. I stopped watching that garbage when they started into their 'Islamaphobia' nonsense. What is that, anyway? Are they saying if you disapprove of a radical ideology it means you're afraid of it. And what if you are? You're afraid, so you're weak and you have to let the big strong Communist take charge, or something. Good luck selling that one Guardian commie twerps. We won't be needing you today. Move along.

  6. This is the issue though, the EDL doesn't draw the line at restricting immigration, which is something most people agree with. They go further and want to attack any Islam person as this video clearly proves.

  7. What an ignorant statement. The Anti-Fascist groups are not supporting Islamic extremeism, or extreme immigration. All they are standing up against, is sadly the majority of the EDL who do not disgriminate between Muslim people who are peaceful and proud to be British, and Extreme Islamic groups.

  8. After watching this video closely, me and half a dozen of my mates have decided to join the English Defence League. Thanks for opening our eyes to the dangers, not only of muslims radicals, but also of people like you that make apologism of them. Come to think about it I can't think of a single complaint of the antifascists against islamic radicals that call for the murder of all infidels, the instauration of Sharia law, or the punishment of all those that 'offend' them…

  9. Don't tell us go find them and tell them whats so bad about loving your country and wanting it back with just the british people im not a rascist but what is wrong with there countries they are turning there backs on englands one of the smallest countries and to keep letting more people in we need to build more homes which means destroying more of our pleasant countryside just find a bigger country to go too.

  10. Islamophobia is an abusive word. Religion doesn't have to be respected any more so than someone's political position. To refer to someone's disapproval in this regard as a phobia is a emotionally manipulative tactic.

  11. muslims can say what they want and do what they want and nothing hardly gets said but when the EDL do something or say something boom every one jumps on them i think there doing whats right they love there country whats wrong with that and they are not going to sit there and do nothing while muslims are trying too take over the country and if they hate this country so much go live in another country where there law is already enforced its not happening here im with you all the way EDL.

  12. 02:20 What!? this guy does not know what he wrote down. Indeed, there is no sharia law in non-Muslim countries because the country was ruled by the Queen of Christians and muslim only little percentage of british citizen. so please … think rationally.

  13. Sorry, have you actually been watching this video? You can clearly see that the EDL are a fascist group and you think that the group that opposes them is fascist? Oh and also, what do you mean by the Guardian being left-wing? Economically they're left wing? Socially they're left wing? Left-wing is a very vague term to use, so please enlighten all of us by explaining what you mean.

  14. Looking at this situation and the rise of the EDL,it strikes me that there is basically no politcal body in the mainstream that supports or represents the working classes anymore.
    Hence there is a great deal of fear and disillusionment from the white indigenous population.. Fully understanable, the zio globalist new world order has to be stopped or there will be ' rivers of blood' on our streets.

  15. Islam is not a race, its an ideology, there is nothing wrong with disagreeing with an ideology especially when that ideology states that anyone who does not believe in it should be killed *cough* hating an ideology is not racist, that would mean if you hate nazis that makes you a racist

  16. Perhaps the Guardian may consider a film about the nature of a religion where fascist, supremacist, anti western, anti women's rights, anti semitic ideology is more common place than they feel comfortable talking about. A handful of angry young men in tracksuits doesn't really scare anyone. Sexually repressed religious fanatics are the real danger in our country right now, and until the Government and media start to address the real problem, the EDL will only grow as an organisation.

  17. some people are just born racist, like the one guy who says he doesn't like asians, there's no reason for hating asians, but some people like me are being racist for a reason like me being racist to muslims.
