EDL leader Tommy Robinson quits group

English Defence League leader and founder Tommy Robinson has left the group, saying he has concerns over the "dangers of far-right extremism".
The EDL organises protests across the UK against "radical Islam".
Mr Robinson said it was still his aim to "counter Islamist ideology", although "not with violence but with better, democratic ideas".
Several senior figures have quit, but an EDL spokesman said the group "will not die because they're walking away".
He added that supporters would spend the next few weeks discussing how to proceed.

Interesting set of events. Clearly a very big part of EDL, and the person everyone knows about. Not sure how much to take of his desire to continue in a "democratic way". Thoughts?

I dunno what he was worried about, the EDL isn't extreme in any way.

The guy was a tool, the quicker he is out of the public eye the better.

EDIT: turns out he is due in court shortly regarding his arrest at an earlier EDL march thing. I don't think these are connected in any way...

Hopefully the UAF will disappear now aswell.
