I don't think that being in favour of confronting racists makes you a "leftie" - to me it just makes you decent. Even without opposition the EDL have been shown to behave in an aggressive, confrontational, racist manner. I can understand the thinking behind just ignoring them an they'll go away...

I don't think it started off that way but it seems to have been fairly flooded by racist bigots. Aren't there certain things we should oppose ? I don't see it as imposing a world view by standing up against racism.

I guess I don't necessarily support their methods (as a default way to deal with the EDL) but I do agree entirely with opposing fascism in all it;s forms.

Opposing racists , xenaphobes , homophobes etc .... is not similar to the Nazi's breaking up political meetings .....no. IMO Nor is your Spanish parallel particularly valid either.

Anyone who see's Fascists and Anti Fascists in the same light should be transported to 1930's Germany.

great post . you don't have to be a "far leftie" to see the EDL for what it is and show your opposition. for what it's worth - i'd rather have a group of anti fascists walking my streets than a group of fascists - each to their own though.....
