Jack Straw needs to look a bit deeper and work out for himself why the EDL even exists. Perhaps I should spell it out for him and hopefully he may then understand.

When islamic militants burn poppies, when people are feeling like 2nd citizens in their own country, when we are not told that the meat we buy is halal, when its ok to wear a burka inside a post office but not a balaclava or a crash helmet.

When our soldiers who have been injured in Afghanistan are abused when they are recovering in hospital.
When politicians do not listen to the concerns of people about the islamisation of Britain and foreign cultures being imposed on them, then it’s only reasonable to expect people to protest.

No politician has done anything about immigration, yet 20% of our young people cannot find work.
We have nearly 3 million people unemployed and the highest level of child poverty in all of Europe.

It seems that if you protest and do not support corrupt mainstream political parties then you are considered to be an extreme racist.
Take note Mr Straw, you and the other clowns running this country are losing support big style to parties such as UKIP and the BNP. People have had enough, especially when they are branded extremist militant thugs for caring about our future.

I feel your comments about the clowns running the country,have no real substance as the party your suggesting ie the edl are hardly qualified to run a bath never mind a country.You only have to listen to them speak to realise what a bunch of ignorant uneducated idiots they really are. Some of your points i agree with such as the burning of poppies, the abuse of injured and returning service men and women, but surely you cannot think that the edl and their like are the answer to what is a complex and difficult problem.Central goverment must be made to listen on this subject but the edl are a long way from being the saviours of British/English culture and lifestyles.
