There is something in what you say there about ignoring them and regarding the right to air their views; however I am not comfortable about their racist attitudes in general being arrogantly flaunted in my city....I am of the view that we should try and counter their arguments and show them that they are just not welcome in Liverpool and if that means having a presence when they arrive so be it...it worked last time they tried.
I understand your views mate. I have no time for the vile EDL either but by having a confrontation like that you give them the attention they want. They're idiots and should not even be given the time and respect of an argument. I've written what id like our response to be on the previous page and I stand by that. A mutli faith get together with people of all views peacefully showing how abhorrent the EDL is by our unity. I bealieve this is actually happening somewhere in the city and I will definitely be going there. I'd also like a massive sign displaying our contempt. All we do with a counter protest is make life harder for the police and give these knuckledraggers the attention they crave thus prolonging their stay which id rather was the shortest possible duration myself.
Agree with this. It makes a bit of a mockery of the description of "far-right" if UKIP gets throw in there.
Peaceful protest is how you publicise this. Challenge their views, don't ignore. Get your message out.
Sensible words my friend...if only this was the case - I think there should be a peaceful protest as you suggest but people get wound up by these pond life scum and one thing leads to another...unfortunately
Ye and it's given those odious rats exacally what they wanted, a big chance to buzz of all the attention. As well as making life even harder for the police to make everything go off without incident. Well done indeed.
