In Hoc Signo Vinces

In this case, the coincidence of English and Crusader iconography is one of history's convenient accidents but also, perhaps, of history's sense of tragedy. How few would still fight for England let alone the Lord? With her sense of irony, history gives us the EDL's opponents; jihadis, terrified of a revived Crusade and the left, terrified of a revived England (via Vlad Tepes).

Even the usual suspects should have a hard time with this one. It will not be easy to paint Sam Gamgee as a Nazi (though Lord knows they will try).

English Defence Leagues Tommy Robinson is the voice of the silent majority on Victoria Derbyshires BBC Radio 5 live show on Monday 4th January 2010. He was on the show to explain the EDLs position on Anjem Choudary and his islam4uk groups plan to march through Wootton Bassett and islamic extremism in general.

All you need to know: Defending your English identity - let alone Christianity or the rights of women - is racist. By contrast, calling Her Majesty's soldiers rapists and scum who should burn in Hell means you are now a fully integrated Briton. Congratulations!
