The BNP are still pretending to be a proper political party while the NF have a couple of dozen members in about three strongholds. Neither of them are particularly bothered about controlling the streets in the way the EDL and their off-shoots have tried.

That's probably why the BNP and NF have not been as successful.

Is there anyone left in charge of the EDL?

The BNP have had some electoral success, which is more than the EDL when they had a pathetic attempt or two to become proper politicians. This, apparently, is their leader. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/edl-english-de ... man-512972" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I say the man is a clot, with many faces, rather than the new fuhrer.

I'm not sure anyone ever thought of him, seriously, as such. He's a chancer, fuelled by a mutual backslapping/masturation ring, who appealed to predominantly young men in search of an outlet for their frustrations, a bit of social bonding and a chance for a ruck. Same as football hooliganism. Same as Paki-bashing by the NF. And it'll go on. Perhaps not so public, perhaps back in the shadows, but it'll go on.

And another one's gone.

Poor old Tommy gets a stretch for mortgage fraud. He really is a dishonest little wanker.

18 months. Seems a bit steep - could a legal expert tell me if that's the norm?

I'd imagine priors for id fraud were considered.

And that it was a conspiracy, not just him chancing it alone.

The temptation is to say it'll teach him, but apparently his last conviction for being a lying shit didn't, so I expect to hear his name again around this time 2016.

Disappointed it was just him and not Carroll as well. I find myself disliking him a lot more than Robinson, who just seems very dim and easily led, whereas Kevin Carroll appears to be a genuinely nasty cunt.

I got close to the pair of them at an EDL rally, and while Robinson seemed a bit dangerous in an "'Oo spilt my pint?" way Carroll was always looking round, clocking people, memorising faces. I've no doubt he could be the more dangerous of the two.
