Brighton flag at EDL march on Getty Images

[El Presidente]

A political flag with a Brighton badge on it? BOLLOCKS.

As for the rest of it, I don't think you've got the hang of this 'politics' thing, have you?

To be fair, I don't think he's got the idea of this 'coherent English sentence' thing either.

Quite simply, that is the most illiterate post I've ever read on here. And well done, I think that's probably the first time anybody Has ever described the EDL as "reasonable", although personally I prefer bigotTed and ignorant.

It might be an idea to make sure, on a post describing another as illiterate, to make sure there are no mistakes on your own.

As far as i know none of the edl members have committed murder Or any ilegal acts Yet

Does this count?

EDL protest man fined for threatening language

A MAN who exposed his backside to police in Bolton has been fined £165.

Aaron Green, aged 22, of Southern House, Halliwell, pleaded guilty to using threatening and abusive language during an English Defence League protest in Bolton town centre on March 20.

At Bolton Magistrates Court yesterday, Nicola Ormerod, prosecuting, said officers noticed Green because he was near a group of men they were monitoring as part of the police’s protest operation.

She added: “Police had been dealing with pockets of trouble across the town throughout the day.

“At about 4.30pm, the defendant pulled down his trousers and flashed his backside to police.

“He then began swearing and shouting at police, who arrested him and later charged him.”

Green said: “What I did was stupid.

I was drunk and acting stupidly, that’s all I can say.”

Chairman of the bench Peter Jones said: “We cannot have this in our town. There could have been children about.

“Bolton is a nice town and it doesn’t need people doing what you did.




Or this?

A leader of the English Defence League who was described as a “political prisoner” after being jailed for violence at a march had already been placed on the sex offenders register for downloading indecent images of children, The Times can reveal.

The far-right group launched a campaign to free Richard Price, co-ordinator of the West Midlands division of the EDL, after he was jailed last month for violent behaviour. But Price, 41, had been convicted in June 2010 of making four indecent images of children, and possessing cocaine and crack cocaine.

That conviction followed an earlier arrest in 2009 for public order offences believed to have been connected with EDL marches. Police were understood to have seized and analysed his computer, leading to the discovery of sexual images of children that he had downloaded. His home was also searched and the drugs were found.

Price admitted four counts of making indecent images of children and two charges of possessing cocaine when he appeared at Birmingham Crown Court. He was banned from owning a computer for a year, given a three-year community supervision order and ordered to sign on to the sex offenders register for five years.

When Price was jailed, EDL members launched a campaign urging supporters to write to the Prime Minister and MPs to try to “win justice for Richard Price, EDL”.

The Aston Villa supporter, who has also been linked to football hooliganism, was even likened by his supporters to a modern-day John Bunyan, the Puritan Christian preacher and author of Pilgrim’s Progress who was jailed for continuing his sermons without the permission of the established Church in the 1600s.

But today’s revelation that one of the EDL’s leading members has been convicted of sex offences will come as a huge embarrassment to a group that has struggled to shrug off its reputation as a new version of the National Front."

Why would he ? He was on an anti-EDL march not a protest for Falmer. Go on, admit it, you're the one with the ears aren't you ?

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Good response, this thread should now be closed

Aha, excellent, I knew you'd be round here somewhere.

So its ok for them to use the Albion badge on a right-wing banner? This coming from a man who on another thread demanded a poster on here to change the name of the BRIGHTON (not "and Hove Albion") Celtic Supporters Club because you didn't like it being associated with the Albion. Exactly the kind of reasoning I expect to be fair.

Small Sharia courts have been established according to this old article. Revealed: UKs first official sharia courts -Times Online

They've got a long way to go before they catch up with the Church of England.


In the Church of England, the Ecclesiastical Courts are a system of courts, held by authority of the Crown, whose wearer is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The courts have jurisdiction over matters dealing with the rights and obligations of church members, now limited to controversies in areas of church property and ecclesiastical disciplinary proceedings. In England these courts, unlike common law courts, are based upon and operate along civil law procedures and Canon law-based jurisprudence.

Offences against ecclesiastical laws are dealt with differently based on whether the laws in question involve church doctrine. For non-doctrinal cases, the lowest level of the court is the Archdeaconry Court, which is presided over by the local Archdeacon. The next court in the hierarchy is the Bishop's Court, which is in the archdiocese of Canterbury called the Commissary Court and in other dioceses the Consistory Court. The Commissary Court is presided over by a commissary-general; a Consistory Court is presided over by a chancellor. The chancellor or commissiary-general must be thirty years old and either have a seven-year general qualification under the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 s 71 or have held high judicial office.

Specialist courts in the Province of Canterbury are the Court of Faculties, the Court of Peculiars and the Court of the Vicar-General of the Province of Canterbury. In the northern province there is the Court of the Vicar-General of the Province of York.

The next court is the Archbishop's Court, which is in Canterbury called the Arches Court, and in York the Chancery Court. Each court includes five judges; one judge is common to both courts. The common judge is called the Dean of Arches in Canterbury and the Auditor in York; he or she is appointed jointly by both Archbishops with the approval of the Crown, and must either hold a ten-year High Court qualification under the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, s 71, or have held high judicial office. Two members of each court must be clergy appointed by the Prolocutor of the Lower House of the provincial Convocation.[1] Two further members of each court are appointed by the Chairman of the House of Laity of the General Synod;[2] these must possess such legal qualifications as the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain requires.

In cases involving church doctrine, ceremony or ritual, the aforementioned courts have no jurisdiction. Instead, the Court of Ecclesiastical Causes Reserved hears the case. The Court is composed of three diocesan bishops and two appellate judges; it has jurisdiction over both of the provinces of Canterbury and York. The Court, however, meets very rarely.

Appeal from the Arches Court and Chancery Court (in non-doctrinal cases) lies to the Queen-in-Council. In practice, the case is heard by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which includes present and former Lords Chancellor, a number of Lords of Appeal and other high judicial officers. The Queen-in-Council does not have jurisdiction over doctrinal cases from the Court of Ecclesiastical Causes Reserved, which instead go to an ad hoc Commission of Review, composed of two diocesan Bishops and three Lords of Appeal (who are also members of the Judicial Committee).

Commissions of Convocation are appointed by the Upper House of the Convocation of Canterbury or of York to try a bishop for an offence (except for an offence of doctrine). Both Convocations make the appointment if an Archbishop is prosecuted. This would comprise four diocesan bishops and the Dean of the Arches.

Politics has no place in football, but racist rally groups certainly don't.

Club should sue/ban them.

What? Because you don't agree with their opinion? Don't be a twat.

No, No ,No not our El Pres, i always envisage him more as Morris Day sexual pervert , described in wikipedia as "Morris Day: Sexual Pervert. A bespectacled, jumper-wearing middle-aged man who is obsessed with pornography, ignoring his attractive wife who waits for him in their bedroom"
EP'S politics may stink, but as far as i know , he's not a humourless beardy tosser like malcolm of malcolm and cressida in the modern parents !

 

[Paddy B]

And this is the bit I still don't get . Why our flag ? Or in particular , why our club badge ?? If they or anybody want to be identifed by being from Brighton , they've already done that by adding the word 'Brighton' in one of the corners . Our proud Seagull almost looks sad and embarressed .
Flags mean many things to many people , that's why it has always been a rallying cry to so many people and why a certain little Bavarian made up his own little red, black and white number in the 1930's. I get that. But our flag , our badge uniquely represents all supporters of BHA. Our support base spans the entire spectrum of age ,colour , profession and politics. We are all very different , but every week we unite under that one badge for the common cause . And that's football !! And our identity within football is that badge. That's it pure and simple.
If anybody wants to use that flag for anything else other than football, then you are free do so , but please remember to remove the badge first.

I 'hankyou

Well I was going to say that is precisely (and concisely) the whole point, so read and then close thread.

However then I saw your user name. f***ing Peoples Front of Judea!!?? f***ing Splitters!!!

We at the Judean Peoples Front are sickened by your beahaviour. Splitters!!

Leading Labour councillor quizzed by police over grooming child for sex
Tom Harper and Justin Davenport
London Evening Standard31 Jan 2011
A Labour councillor with links to two members of the shadow cabinet has been arrested on suspicion of grooming a child for sex.

Scotland Yard detectives questioned John Friary, 51, last week before releasing him on bail pending further inquiries.

He has been sacked from his role as a cabinet member for community safety at Southwark council and has resigned as a councillor.

Sources have told the Evening Standard that Peter John, leader of the Southwark Labour Party, told councillors the alleged incident involved an underage girl and "child grooming offences".

Mr Friary, who is the governor of a Camberwell primary school and has campaigned with Harriet Harman and Tessa Jowell - both south London MPs and members of the shadow cabinet - is alleged to have made contact with the child over the internet.

He held several accounts on social networking sites including Facebook and Bebo, which have been taken down.

A source said: "This is absolutely shocking. No one in Southwark can believe it. Friary was a leading light in the local Labour Party - he is incredibly close to Harman and Jowell and was often seen out on the doorsteps helping them get elected."

Today a link from the official website of Ms Harman, deputy leader of Labour and shadow secretary of state for international development, to Friary's blog was removed.

A police spokesman said: "On 26 January a 51-year-old man was arrested by officers from the paedophile unit on suspicion of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. He was taken to a west London police station and bailed to return in March pending further inquiries."

Labour councillor suspended after party discovers he was jailed for drugs row shooting
by Martin Fricker, Daily Mirror 4/02/2011
A LEADING anti-gun campaigner has been suspended from the Labour Party after it emerged he shot a man in the head.
Councillor Stephen Govier was sentenced to six years for the crime in Los Angeles in 1997 during an argument over drugs.

Mr Govier, 52, who hid the offence from the party when he joined in 2006, worked closely with Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman during last year’s general election.

He also teamed up with the Met police as a co-ordinator for an anti-crime organisation and campaigned to have replica guns banned.

According to US court records, he had been charged with cocaine possession and attempted murder. But after a plea agreement he admitted assault with a deadly weapon.

It's WEAR. English, fairly simple language really.

And how come all those who are SOOOOOOOO opposed to sharia 'courts' (which as has already been pointed out are not sharia courts at all but don't let facts get in the way of a nice racist rant) have never been in the SLIGHTEST bit bothered about the Beth Din which have existed in the UK for hundreds of years without undermining the English jutice system?
