Incidentally there were a couple of tattoed neo-nazis in the supermarket today, "AWB" it said on their shirts and tats. Could one of you informed crackpots kindly explain how an Aryan Brotherhood could be other than white?
Are you sure it didn't mean A and W Burger?
They could be Pappa Burgers, or Baby Burgers or even the much vaunted Uncle Burger.

"Aryan White Brotherhood", it said, somewhere on their person or clothing.

Perhaps they really are young, British and angry about something.
Might be worth listening to see instead of outright condemnation.
EDL are normally opposed to the immigrants taking over the UK. Are we saying that it's not an issue?

I'm not taking sides, just interested in other viewpoints.

I see no evidence that immigrants are taking over the UK.

What about the no-go areas in many larger cities in the UK - those that are the result of a mass influx of immigrants. Isn't that the start of 'taking over'?
I'm only going by what I read on news sites and the like, so can't say I have first-hand experience here. I just want to know if it's all true. Is that why groups like the EDL exist?

No. A "no-go" area is the result of fear, probably irrational, of whoever lives there on the part of the people who won't go there. The start of taking over might be an ethnic party being the junior member of a coalition government.

If what's all true? That the Prime Minister is black, the Archbishop of Canterbury gives sermons in Polish, the Queen wears a burka?

Why they exist is an interesting question but it's not related to any recent trend toward immigrants taking over, BNP, NF, Moseley's Brown Shirts, there's a long standing tradition of frothing lunacy on the fringe of British politics.

What do you mean by 'taking over'?

So called 'no-go' areas are generally a consequence of unemployment, poverty, poor housing conditions and other forms of severe social deprivation.

I didn't dare go near them. I squinted at them from afar wondering if "AWB" was some sort of facist thing (socialists tending not to have facial tattoos). It was I2C who went and read their labels.

My Subaru is marked with AWD badging. Fortunately it's discreet and hasn't caused a stir at the golf club.
