So the EDL (English Defence League) decided to visit Portsmouth this weekend. Let us all hope that their wanderlust has been satisfied and they don’t bother to come back. We don’t need their sort and their beliefs being forced upon us. Where ever they go there is always hatred and violence at a cost to the peaceful law-abiding public. This time there were seven arrests so maybe Portsmouth got off lightly. Even so there were many police drafted in from other forces to bolster the local boys.Someone has to pay for that and it surely won’t be the EDL.
They call themselves the English Defence League. Who are they protecting ? It certainly isn’t me. When I see the news reports of their marches the only protection I feel I need is from them and their supporters.
So now that they have left Portsmouth I say Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish.
