The EDL is trying to counter act it which is only natural, but the problem is it is full to the core of racists who hide behind the fact that they have a multi couloured organization. Its a right to oppose what you are don't believe or agree with, but I for one do not want a young racist of a leader speaking for me. Young men with too much testosterone get waaaay to much media coverage...on both sides. The media need to act more responsibility, naive youngsters will let programmes like I just saw go straight to their head.

Channel 4 did show faults in both sides arguments and I could see that the whole aim was reflect on both parties in a negative light. I still strongly think that programmes like this should not be broadcasting such issues at prime time on a major channel if on TV at all. It seems to be a popular topic with the media and its only encouraging these people to push on further and spread their words of hatred amongst the masses.
It is a small, tiny, microscopic minority who are part of these groups, however it only takes 1 person make a very large impact, especially with news coverage all over it every week on every channel.

Not a problem in my quiet little market town of Neath, but it seems that the problems are growing in some towns and cities in England.
