Freepers...

Looks like branches of the English Defence League are popping up all over the world. Australia, Italy, Canada and do I dare say even France...

Now the U.S..

http://www.facebook.com/AmericanDefenceLeague?sk=app_2373072738

Anyone here know anything about it?

I’d like to see one here. I know there is even a version of one in India as well. BTW, I did “like” the English Defense League on Facebook, we all need to work together to preserve our way of life.

Sounds like a reasonable idea, though they might want to spell defense the American way. And it would be good if they had enough self-confidence to have a spokesman who was as regular an American as one of Elvis Presley’s circle of friends rather than thinking they need to rely on children of more newly arrived immigrants to be their public face.

From an EDL member :

” The ADL doesn’t have much going for it at the moment... haven’t even had one demo... and I’m guessing at least 3/4’s of the “Americans” in the ADL are actually English EDL supporters . “

Great idea, but on their Home Page, Line 4, they spelled "principles" wrong.

And the page has no link to let them know. Shouldn't a site called "English Defense League" be free of spelling errors?

I see a Denver Chapter that looks like they may be more active, but time will tell...

They’re defending ENGLAND, not denglish.

Now that they know, I’m sure they’ll fix it as soon as one of them is sober.

This means that soccer is gaining some popularity in the US. Whats soccer without soccer hooligans.

Indeed, FR should reach out to EDL, IMHO.
