EDL Leader Deters From Breivik Contact With ‘Naïve Fools’ Argument

The EDL seem to be trying to keep their reputation by denying they had any contact with Anders Breivik.

In the BBC programme, Big Questions, when asked about whether Breivik had contact with the EDL, EDL leader Tommy Robinson argued that the EDL didn’t. He argued by using Breivik’s manifesto where Breivik describes the EDL as ‘naïve fools’.

Let's look at what came from the donkey's mouth

But on the SAME PAGE of that manifesto, Breivik admires the EDL for having ‘noble intentions’. Breivik as we know, for one, had a distinct opposition to Islam (like the EDL). In a story published by The Mirror, he also said the EDL was a “blessing”.

A person can like what a person does (having noble intentions), but not the way he or she does it (they are perhaps naïve). The same applies to these two statements at hand in the manifesto. The EDL leaders argument therefore, carries little weight.

The EDL’s leader is merely using and omitting what he sees fit to avoid a loss of reputation. He even omitted information from the manifesto on BBC’s Newsnight. Click here to read about it.

It is also highly disturbing that the EDL leader tries to avoid the claim that Anders Breivik claimed he had around 600 Facebook friends belonging to the EDL. This is in the manifesto itself and even on the SAME PAGE!
