EDL interviewed on Newsnight after Norwegian bomb / shootings (25July11)

[enzojatt786]

FUCKING DIRTY EDL BAASTARDS

[CaesarWarrington]

Give em hell Tommy! This oldfart was trying to smear you and the EDL throughout the interview and you stuck to the facts, giving him no leeway.

A shoutout from a Yank sympathizer.

[johnjay48]

so IT'S A WAKE UP CALL blame Muslim too easily,

think twice Christian extremists have spread what a shame

[MrYorkshireFella]

There is no affiliation between Anders and the EDL, the media just want there to be one so that they can demonise them.

[wot2wot2]

what a fucking bonehead. edl scum

[CaesarWarrington]

@wot2wot2

That's right, just ignore what he and the EDL are saying and resort to the same old ad hominem.

[wot2wot2]

@CaesarWarrington ad hominem? so you admit he is a bonehead

[wot2wot2]

Respond to this video... id id love to punch this nazis lights out

[WelshWidgetman2010]

@wot2wot2 I don't like them either, but how are they Nazis? Because they're anti-immigration, anti-terrorism and anti-sharia law? Again, I don't entirely agree with their ideology.

[ignoranttwat]

And this stuff HAS happened in this country. Learn your fucking history.

[ignoranttwat]

Seriously, this man. I live in Tower Hamlets and as I non-Muslism I can honestly say that Islam is not a problem. At all. These people are ignorant fools.

[LorryTheUltraTory]

@ignoranttwat Well your probably shagging some paki towel head. I lived in bethnal green about a year ago & it was a fucking nightmare.

[ignoranttwat]

@LorryTheUltraTory

Well I'm not, and they're Bangladeshi, I'll have you know. But I can see why someone who refers to them self as an "ultra Tory" might have some trouble here. It's a pretty left-wing place.

[unhingedmdk]

Edl is not against Islam as a religion. It's against radical islamists who want to impose sharia law on this country. Look on the EDL website before you make your attacks on them as fascists.

[bambamgo98]

This creep is a Zionist stooge (and I'm not talking about Paxman).

[IamBradleyAssange]

@bambamgo98 .lol. check out that Newsnight on iplayer (25/07/11). Check the footage of EDL demonstrators,you will see @ 10.02 a supposed partisan neo-nazi carrying a pink traingular plackard (jewish sign) saying "No Rights in Gaza". And check @ 10.22, either a doctored picture or another stooge demonstrator wearing a tee-shirt labelled "English Defence League- Norway Israel Division".

I guess this was supposed to provide the legal stationery that Norweigan nazis were joined up with the EDL

[TheWahnbriefeBlog]

He's racist every time he refers to the "threat of Islam". Islam is an monotheistic religion just like Christianity. If it was the threat of extremism he kept harping on about I'm sure people could see things from his point of view. But blanketing an entire religion? Didn't Hitler take action against the threat of Judaism as a supposed whole in a campaign that relied on a lot of racist propoganda? You're naive if you think he's not a racist and a fascist.

[RockofEngland]

Tommy Robinson... Totally destroyes BBC attack dog Jeremy Paxman with cold hard facts... It must have been a surprise for the BBC, having fascts aired on one of their programes.. No wodner the BBC is anti the EDL.

[MetaReaLizard]

Divide and conquer...

[Arcturo765]

it won't be long before the government find a way of banning EDL saying they are an extremist organisation, they've linked this norwegian psycho to them and will make sure the shit sticks.

[poodle559]

It's all bullshit if you ask me and the media are the biggest pushers of the bullshit.

[Arcturo765]

its like one big nasty soap opera been played out by drama queens

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Arcturo765 Hello there! I think for the first time ever I've seen Paxman faulter. I think some in the media agree that it's bs against the English/British. But again with the cowards in charge is it a surprise?

England needs to leave the EU as it might be certain death.

[Arcturo765]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 the globalists wont allow Britains withdrawal from the EU, this norway incident has been the springboard for greater immigration and forced integration, speak out against it and you are a xenophobic extremist.....am i to doubt those who say it was in an inside job?

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Arcturo765 I wondered that myself.... After all the CIA were behind coup of certain dictators getting into power in the 50s.

The EU are trying to save the Euro.... By bailing countries out they have a way of putting a dog collar on those who disagree. Think of it: If Africa has been given money non stop for decades so really it's already been proven. If they didn't owe money to the west then they'd be truely free and most likely not starving.

[Arcturo765]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 true but we are just the pawns in the game, nothing will change..at least not for the better thats for sure.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Arcturo765 And when it does they will........ ask for bail out money for countries were too dumb to join the Euro. Think of that: these countries were laughing at the people who didn't NOW they're hoping for £ from us....

EU = Good at owning themselves.

[SOCIALISTnetwork]

Oh the right wing sympathy in this room speaks volumes...Hahahaha Lets see how many of you remember to delete your comments if what tommy threatens at 07:05 ever does happen over here....

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@SOCIALISTnetwork "right wing sympathy"? No people who see a liberal interviewer for a liberal media not making a good argument and coming off as out of steam. Things are changing in this country and I don't know in what way but if you don't change you die out.

[SOCIALISTnetwork]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 Corr I wonder what a Youtube Forum would have looked like with Druids and Celts gathering round hundreds of years ago saying the same thing about a middle eastern religion setting up on this island talking about Jesus?..Ofcourse they would only have a little while to worry about it before a shitload of Vikings would have been coming over raping their women a few hundred years later n worshiping gods that we actually portray in Comic book movies today....

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@SOCIALISTnetwork Nothing as they didn't have the internet. Good way to look smart = mention something stupid that has no connection to the video.

YAWN.

[SOCIALISTnetwork]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 Man the fact that you are either willfully being ignorant to my parallels, or that you really dont understand what I just said.says a hell of a lot.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@SOCIALISTnetwork No just you.

[SOCIALISTnetwork]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 jeez and now yer just reduced to getting a "last word " trip...Nevermind.



[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@SOCIALISTnetwork Last word Nevermind.

[SOCIALISTnetwork]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 Bless :)

[baker707]

that interviewer is a dumbass i'd punch him

[AnnoyedDragon]

I don't know enough about the EDL to comment on them, but what I do know is this guy is going to be used to attack all groups who dare to speak out.

If you are vocal against multiculturalism, or militant Islam, you're a terrorist. That's what they want people to believe.

[Graham6762]

This is guilty by association propaganda.

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

God i love this man. He does not let some punk like Paxman run over him. 

[irdial]

Jeremy Paxman is a misdirector and a mainstream media gatekeeper, and a deliberate spreader of confusion and distraction. Thankfully this man, no matter what you think of him, refuses to let Paxman roll out his carpet of garbage and smears. People like him try and conflate unrelated facts to score meaningless points in these nauseating BBC 'interviews'; they use tragedy to spin their ostrich posturing opinions that are handed down from above. NO $SALE!

[AmetReloads]

Jeremy Paxman did a very bad job, Tommy has spread his face on the floors with logical and factuall statements, while jeremy was trying to push a guilt by association

travesty.

yes radical nationalism and racist fascist will lead to deaths of innocent as islamism does.

i havent yet seen any evidence that EDL is a far right party, nor right to be fair, other that it has some pub hooligans as members.

..and im sorry to say thats true for every football team and every political party.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@AmetReloads I think the truth is that voters are getting tired of the Labour/Conservative revolving doors leadership. They FEAR people switching to a new party that will be voted in and isn't strange how every party that threatens to take voters from them or gain seats is accused of racism when all they've done is mention what people really care about.

God forbid they we should have a non Labour/Conservative UPPER CLASS party and have one that means something to the voter who they believe in?

[MrTolleMolle]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 shut up

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@MrTolleMolle Wow big troll eh? Threatening me on a computer. Sad. Even MDL members would make you look stupid.

I would love to see a YT video of a troll being beaten to near death. But in your case you're already too ugly.

[irdial]

@AmetReloads This is exactly correct. Guilt by association is what Paxman's game is here, and its sickening and stupid. These evil BBC presenters are playing with fire; the fact of the matter is they just dont care, as long as they get their stolen money and perks.

[gshooting]

@AmetReloads That's pretty typical of the BBC now. They're just lazy interviewers. Instead of actually bringing up facts. They'll just say something like "I've heard from somewhere that one of your members has a racist and fascist website. Is the EDL proud of its racist and fascist views?"

[DifferentYetNormal]

2:48

Gotchya wee Tommy.

[zulfitareen]

i agree with EDL.

EDL cares about uk.

[snodds88]

@zulfitareen National Front cares about the UK...

[zulfitareen]

@snodds88

i agree with you that NF cares about uk.

but i was reading about your organisation on wikipedia and it says you want uk for whites only.

i believe we all evolved in ethiopia and migrated to different parts of the world from there.

EDl is anti racism.

[tojoconfused]

He's spot-on with the 'there are no working class representatives', like a dividing thermocline in Brit society - by design, methinks.

[buckodcelt]

you know what else he done last week he tied to add the NS movement to his friends list... I think the whole thing is a shame. four days after the CIA states that the most likely terrorists in the future will be white men

[HumanSayNo]

Everything that the mainstream media are speculating about Anders Behring Breivikis is hearsay taken from facebook and twitter accounts that could have been created by anyone. How do we know that this killer was not hypnotised and controlled to carry out this act, just like the Manchurian Candidate? Norway is one of the most open western societies and televised court appearances are the norm. So why all of a sudden has Norway decided to pull the plug on the public getting a full explanation?

[jetdude696]

not bad, not bad at all

[gshooting]

he's right on the think tanks as well. The working class is purposefully ignored because the think tanks know that they won't agree with their agenda.

[Pattydog9]

Some lovely propaganda put forward by Stephen Lennon right there.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 No it's not propganda it's sense. The reason right wing is becoming stronger is because people who have reasonable concerns are being shut up. Due to this some will decide to use violence and if the person already has mental issues they will become the creator of a day of evil.

[Pattydog9]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 I must say: it is propaganda for the EDL, solely for Tommy appearing on the programme, with or without intent. Obviously that's not the soul purpose of his appearance. I do not empathise with the EDL one bit, but I do agree that the Oslo murderer was distant from the EDL. 1: because of his ideology. 2. because of his mental instability.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 All appearences on TV by ALL polictical people are propaganda. Fact is if you have a polictical party with ENGLISH or BRITISH it's racist YAWN.

BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY = racist

SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY = ok

ENGLISH DEFENCE LEAGUE = racist

MUSLIM DEFENCE LEAGUE = ok

See what I mean? They go on about Demonising Islam but truthfully they've demonised simple pride in this country and the UK full stop.

[Pattydog9]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 I see where you're coming from by saying this. But the Muslim Defence League are countering the abuse they feel from members of the EDL. I believe that they are right in defending themselves, regardless of whether I agree with their way of living, or their religion.

I do not want a country dominated by Islam if I'm honest, I have no hate towards Islam, I would feel the same for a wholly dominated Eastern European Britain. I do not see the EDL or the BNP as a solution.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 Muslims in this group are not defending against anyone they're whinging cry babies. Muslims who are racist always use the 'white people hate us' rubbish. The BBC haven't got any balls to say something different, without fearing the PC brigade, so they resort to Jeremy Paxman talking over him non stop.

The guy has been INVITED to put his case and Paxman just acts rude. Another BBC attempt at liberal sellotape except it made JP look weak and desperate.

[Pattydog9]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 To be fair, they are defending, defending themselves; I strongly belief that within a multicultural society, with various religions and racists, that racism is a futile entity. The EDL do create a balance of some sort it seems. But the majority of the supporters that I've met do not come across are way too ignorant and aggressive within their thinking.

Indeed, Paxton did'ntprovide the viewer with a balanced discussion, he just fired all the ammo he had into Tommy.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 Bloody good point! One person's liberal is another person's fascist. No body wants their life to be one YES/NO. What you said about imbalance is right and PC rubbish has made critizicing immigration or anything difficult without being accused of this or that. Hence the feeling of being treated like children.

[Pattydog9]

@thatsthewayitgoes09 YES: immigration does need to be confronted! confronted strongly, but as you said: it will not be confronted as it should be, as it will lost politicians support in such a society.

What's your thoughts on the benefits system? You from London?

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 East Midlands but I have family in Essex. Immigration is a classic example of false truths being presented as fact ie they do the jobs that British people don't want. I've worked with people from both sides who have been hard working and lazy. Some employers are keen to say that but again they would if they make savings on cheap people. And why shouldn't immigrants be paid MORE if they're better? I bet if they asked for that the employers would change their attitude.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 Benefits: We need to stop giving to UK/EU people who have never put into this country. It is unfair and economically unhealthy business ploy - a country is a business. I've seen people get work trials who then quit/don't turn up while I've been messed about. When I did get one it was because I ARRANGED it myself. Do it through job centre ect and you'll get excuses. Plus, they're biased to 16 -24 so if you want to retrain at 30+ you're going to be queued back.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 In other words help for people to get work (who don't want to) and near impossible for those who not only do want to but also would use that chance to go places because they have a plan for the future.

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

@Pattydog9 I think EDL is full of people who care but like all parties it has people joining due to bitterness or greed. Viewers want to hear a balanced argument on the BBC but the BEEB is too connected to certain interest groups. People have accused it of unfair bias against British workers and there was that show last year that seemed edited/one sided. Thank you for your commonsense.

This country needs fresh leaders, out of EU and freeze on immigration. Or it will explode

[gshooting]

not much i can really disagree with him on esp. his prediction at the end. The Norway terrorist did this to inspire other extremists.

[tarapinkerton]

i think he came across quite well actually.
