The EDL appears to have fractured into different factions, so banning it would have little effect.

Does the English Defence League still exist, and could it be banned in the UK?

Angela Rayner said the Home Secretary will "be looking at" whether the English Defence League should be banned in law. But what - if anything - is left of the organisation is in a very different state to when it was founded.

I'm sure the intelligence community knows exactly who control their off-shoots.

Unfortunately the 'security' services have always been way more interested in infiltrating and gaoling left wing activists.

@DrMatthewSweet: This is the Lush looter from Hull. Plead guilty today. And apparently an active member of the far right - as he’s a standard bearer for Alek Yerbury, aka “Hull Hitler”. That pic from @hopenothate...…

Mystery solved as to who they asked

It is much more widespread than that - take Buckley for example, almost completely deindustrialized now and with a largely dead town centre and yet the Jubilee continues. Most towns and villages have their own cricket / football teams, at least one pub, even Conservative Clubs still and whilst church attendance has declined a lot since the boomers came of age it has probably reached its lowest ebb and may (Catholics especially, who are approaching being the largest Christian group in the country again) be slowly ticking back up.

I agree with her wider point about this, but she is wrong to say these things have gone.

Great setup at Buckley FC but a bit of a walk to the closest pub

There’s a guy claiming, quite proudly, to be Hitler-esq and people are marching behind him holding the St George cross and the Union Jack. Do they not get the irony?
