"We send those lads off to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan and all kinds of worldwide hellholes. If they can't march back through a British town in recognition of their service, then we really have lost the war ... It was a simple mark of respect, of honouring our troops ... Sayful's group ... had placards calling our troops 'Butchers of Basra' and saying 'Anglian soldiers go to hell' ... There were more and more Muslims turning up to join that group and, as word got around, there were more and more Luton people coming ...

"The weekend after they cancelled the St George's Day parade, we arranged the first demonstration of the UPL - the United People of Luton ... We just wanted to parade through the town centre, to the war memorial, to have a minute's silence and a round of applause for our soldiers. That was all ... [but] the police said we were not allowed to march ... these were ordinary Luton men and women, just wanting to pay their respects ...

"[What] happened over those few weeks in 2009 had brought a lot of things home to me, not just with regard to what [was] happening to my town, but to my country too. It wasn't just the threat to every aspect of British life posed by the Muslim radicals, but what looked and felt like a conspiracy of the British state to not only allow it, but encourage it ...

"I've asked myself many times, would the EDL have happened if the police and the council had calmly escorted our first demonstration to the war memorial and let ordinary men and women pay their respects? I don't know. Maybe it would. But after what we experienced that summer of 2009 there wasn't a decision to make. Someone had to speak up about what was happening and it might as well be me ... I certainly couldn't have imagined that I would effectively be declared an enemy of the state just for speaking a few unpalatable , inconvenient truths."

"So if you don't think that balaclavas are a good look, that they appear intimidating, paramilitary, and as if people have something to hide, I'd have to agree with you. In a free and democratic society, where there's freedom of speech and people are allowed to gather and protest, they wouldn't be necessary. In my experience however, the only people who have that privilege in this country are left-wing and Islamic extremists ...

"On the day of the second UPL demo ... Rival factions and gangs, lads who hate each other, all came together under this one banner ... today we were all Luton, we were all England. We met up at a pub ... and brought about the same number of balaclavas. Why? Because lots of the lads there, exercising their democratic right to protest, had effectively had that freedom cynically removed from them by the police, not out of any desire for justice, but to simply jackboot them down. To silence them.

"The lads who were banned by the police from the town centre turned up anyway. So I told them - from the minute we leave the pub, don't take the balaclavas off. That way the police don't know who's who, and so long as we don't break the law, everyone should be fine. The balaclavas might look bad, but they shouldn't be necessary."

"It's commonplace today, murdering children, as we've seen with ISIS, but even writing this so many years on, it's as though that happened yesterday. Beslan shook me. And then along came this character Sayful Islam preaching that our kids too are ripe for being rounded up and executed in their classrooms and that he would celebrate it ...

"I was angry at the time at what was happening in Luton, but I was curious, so I started trying to find out more about these people, and during that process, of looking into what lay behind Beslan, it seemed that the only people talking about it, getting angry, were the BNP. And I didn't know anything much about them ... Much is made by the Tommy Robinson-haters of my brief flirtation with the BNP. It was brief. Very brief. And it ended in tears ...

"I think it was one of the older blokes at football who started talking about the BNP and mentioned it to a few of us younger lads ... I spoke to a bloke who was their organiser for our area, and ... I went along to the first meeting with my uncle and listened, mostly. They had a guest speaker, gave out loads of literature and they were talking what I thought was plain common sense about the whole range of Muslim/Islamic issues. I suppose I was reasonably impressed with it, so I signed up for a membership and decided to bring the football lads to the next meeting.

"These guys had become my best friends, they had become my community. I never gave a minute's thought to their colour or background. We met up and went along ... As we walked through the door, this organiser said, 'They'll have to wait here', and he was on about the black lads - Isaac, Little Craigy and Webster.  I could not believe it. I simply could not believe it. We stopped the entire meeting, right there and then. In fact, Searchlight, the Marxist rag, documented it as the time the Luton MIGs fell out with the BNP. I told them straight out, 'You think you are having a meeting, in our pub, on our estate, in our town, that we have brought you people to, but you're not letting our friends come in?' ...

"[A]nd that was that with the BNP as far as I was concerned. ... Sure, I'd joined the BNP after that first meeting, taken out a family membership on a 12 month deal for only £60. But as people could subsequently see when they hacked the BNP membership list and published it, I didn't renew my membership. It was a very brief relationship. You probably think I was naive for not realising that the BNP was a racist group. I'm sure I was. In those days I didn't even know who Nick Griffin was, let alone that he used to be a senior member of the National Front. I was young and not every well educated in those matters. After that incident the BNP didn't feature much on the landscape in Luton at all - I don't even think they've stood anyone as a Parliamentary candidate since then.

"I'd grown up with mates of every different colour and background and that was never the issue for me. It was this ideology that was preaching hatred of my country on my doorstep. Why should men and women be discounted from standing up for the nation of either their birth or adoption because they're black, Asian or anything else? That's racist. And I've never considered myself racist, whatever the world likes to think."

Patriots, Traitors, Invaders

Poem in the comments section here

"Here's a tale of Quisling traitors, sold their country to invaders.
The first was shot in forty-five, But many more are still alive.
When was there a referendum, 'Ere our traitors thought to send 'em?
Rivers of blood would be the cost, Enoch was right, now Britain's lost.
Bombs and bullets, acid and knives, Vans on pavements destroying lives.
Showing rape gangs now forbidden, Poor old Tommy he's imprisoned,
While to jihadis flats are given, And ISIS killers all forgiven.

"Hitler's Nazis could not manage, What our Quislings done in damage!
If Churchill were around today, I'm confident that he would say:
'In older and more modern time, Treason must be capital crime,
Patriots must be supported, And invaders all deported,
Till our girls walk unmolested, After British metal's* tested.'
Will saving Blighty come too late, Before the Saxon learns to hate?
If saving's coming, it can't wait, Or Islam will be Britain's fate.
