Who says some minority groups are not trying to run the country?
/// The Mayor of Tower Hamlets has given the Metropolitan Police Commissioner until Monday to seek a Home Office ban on the English Defence League marching through London’s East End on September 3.///
/// Legal proceedings will begin, they warn, if there is no response by Monday or if the response is not in favour of a ban.///
If this march is banned, perhaps the Notting-Hill Carnival should also be banned, since it will need twice the amount of police resources to police it this year, than it did last year?

">> Go and have a look at what, exactly? <<
at the edl demo "
Ah, i see - and the second part of my question is now: "match what description?" I didn't give a description.
Perhaps if you have attended one though you could save me the bother of going all the way to London and tell me what normally happens - and don't play it down :-)

>> I didn't give a description. <<
i never said you did, unless you work for the media
Ah description of what i see - I think I will pass on that particular cultural experience if you don't mind. My impression of the EDL comes not from the media but from the words and opinions of its members and supporters and I can tell you it is a place I don't want to go.

<<I wonder how the EDL supporters in Tower Hamlets feel about this action - although I guess they are outnumbered. >>
EDL supporters are in the minority anywhere in England judging by the tiny numbers they can scrape together for any meeting and the pathetic results any of the extremist parties achieve at the polls.

Surely, If you are not interested in what these people have to say, you stay away and ignore them, they only gain newsworthiness when you have different thinking groups front them (let them have their own marches). I am such a great believer in equal justice that I am finding it quite hard to understand that you are advocating no-go-areas i.e entering into another community etc
<<If you are not interested in what these people have to say>>
that's a big (and probably incorrect) assumption.
I would imagine that if an extremist group want to gather and espouse ideas such as, say, the forced expulsion from our country of certain ethnic groups, then members of those ethnic groups might be very interested in it!
