This morning a friend of mine came to my office for a coffee and during a chat he informed me that the EDL were having a meeting and march through an Indian / Pakistani area close to where i live and told me to pass the info on so women and kids stayed indoors as their may me trouble.
The EDL (English Defence League) can be described as a racist white group whose basic agenda is to remove all races that are not white out of England - a kind of keep England white group. They particularly detest people that are from the sub continent.
It wasnt a particularly interesting chat until he mentioned the fact an Indian chap will be the speaking and representing them telling us how and why he is a staunch supporter of EDL.
After doing some research i find the chaps name is Guramit Singh. Very surprised that in fact this guy is notorious for his race hatred speeches.
I remember a phrase i learn at school written by Martin Niemoller. Maybe someone should one day alert our Guramit Singh of the phrase it went like this:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
I wish and hope that one day we all unite against every type of extremism.
