There is speculation at the moment that the English Defence League could go political.As I understand it Tommy Robinson (aka Stephen Lennon) has said he will consider entering party politics if the coalition government fails to deal with the problem of militant islam.
There certainly seems to be a glimmer of hope after hearing David Cameron's speech in Munich about how the policy of multiculturalism has so badly failed the people of Britain.The only way multiculuralism can ever work is if people that come and settle in Britain share the same values,culture and there is a mutual respect.In the past it has worked very well with French Hugunots,jews,irish, Caribbeans and the Hindu sikh community.Nearly all have settled in and have embraced the British way of life.Multiculturalism will never work where islam is concerned.The government has allowed this community to carry on living a completely separate way of life within isolated islamic ghettoes.There has been no attempt to integrate and the muslim community have taken over large areas of our towns and cities to recreate a muslim homeland for themselves.
If you move to another country you shouldn't try to change it in to something that fits in with your lifestyle.You should learn the language,learn the history and embrace the culture.It is grossly unfair to try and enforce an alien culture on us.What really annoys me is we where never asked if we wanted any of this.There was no referendum... nothing.This was forced on us!
Over the past twenty years Labour and Conservative governments have caved in to every demand made by the islamic community.Mosques are popping up all over the place and have played a part in radicalising muslim youth to the jahadi cause.Even during police counter terrorist operations the Police are under strict orders to tread carefully and not to go in too heavy handed in case we might offend them.
People are so terrified of criticising immigration or islam in case they are labelled a racist.This seems to be the way the left shuts down all debate on multiculturalism.When people can't talk about these issues openly then before long the lid will blow off!
The working class have been cast aside for far too long by the establishment and the Labour Party which used to represent the British working class have long since turned there backs on us.Labour when in power where far too busy socially engineering and currying favour with minorities to shore up there vote.The truth is they took the white working class vote for granted.
Some people have abandoned voting for all three major parties and have now started voting for some of the minor parties.The BNP had a short burst of success and looked like they where heading for a break through with the election of two MEPS.However the fortunes of the BNP have nose dived and it is highly likely they will lose nearly all there council seats in May.The BNP's past history and the unpopularity of Nick Griffin will ensure it will never make a breakthrough.A lot of people still see it as a racist party that only changed it's white only membership criteria because it was forced to.
UKIP have come on leaps and bounds.They have a score of 12 MEPS and a vast army of councilors up and down England.They do not have the baggage the BNP has and they come across as a more sensible moderate party.They want withdrawal from the EU and they want an end to mass immigration.In the recent Oldham by election they finished in front of the BNP and held on to their deposit.This clearly demonstrates that voters of a euro sceptic and anti mass immigration stance are starting to turn away from the BNP.I think UKIP could grow into a major political force in this country.They have the experience and they now have financial backing from a millionaire former tory donor.There isn't the stigma attached to UKIP that the BNP has so I think more people will be happy to help their cause.
So is there room for yet another minor party?The EDL are with out doubt a fantastic street protest movement,what they have achieved in two short years is absolutely amazing.If the EDL does decide to go political then they would need a comprehensive manifesto that deals with all the issues and concerns of the electorate.Single issue parties tend to have very limited success so to be successful they will need to call in experts with knowledge on the economy,education,defence etc.Tommy Robinson has developed into a very good speaker and who knows he could become Britain's very own Geert Wilders.He speaks for the forgotten people ...the working class.He talks about issues that the establishment would rather avoid.He puts his life on the line and he has to have 24 hour police protection.That's how committed Tommy is.
I don't think people will hold his previous membership of the BNP against him because he has been very open about this.Like a lot of people a couple of years ago it was only the BNP that was making a stand against islam so that was the only choice we had.People will grasp at straws when desperate.It is about time we had an ordinary working class guy to represent us instead of the usual Eton/Oxford educated career politicians who have no idea what real life is all about.
I think the best solution is to keep the EDL as a successful street movement and form a separate political party that works along side it.If this new party can attract some wealthy donors and the backing of a major tabloid newspaper then it will become massive.The Daily Star has shown signs of supporting the EDL and they have a readership of well over 800,000.This is something the BNP can only dream about.No major newspaper would touch them with a barge pole...they are the kiss of death.
If Tommy Robinson decides to go political I wish him well!Let's hope this could be the start of something big that will shake this rotten establishment to the core!

It seems that we are of the same opinion with respect to the EDL needing to remain a pressure group rather than transforming itself into a political party. As you've probably read on my blog, I have suggested that there is a natural affinity between the goals of the EDL and British Freedom, but this afternoon I discover from visiting Michael Simpkins's blog that British Freedom has already been plunged into the same sort of nasty political purging and lack of democracy that has so bedevilled the BNP. Indeed, the unwelcome foul-mouthed ranting figure of Lee Barnes has cast a pall over the new party. What will happen? Will Barnes go? If not, I cannot see it becoming a success unless he is marginalized or expelled, as he would be a deterrent to any sane voter casting his or her ballot for the party.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more with regards to this character Lee Barnes.If he remains in British Freedom then this new party will get nowhere.People won't vote for weirdos that spout conspiracy theories.If Geert Wilders read his blog he would not give British Freedom the time of day and none of the other European nationalists would work with them either.
