After seeing the footage from yesterday of the EDL at the Cenotaph in London, there needs to be an overhaul of the Alt Right in the UK. Tommy Robinson has had years to organise & consolidate the Alt Right in the UK and he has failed.
The optics from yesterday highlighted the following;
There is no organisational structure.
There is no discipline
There is no clear objective
The demographic turning up to these events are not something to aspire to
What done it for me was that we had dishevelled 40 something men in dirty white trainers & baseball caps, clearly drunk, (didnt have a clue what they were doing), picking fights with the police. they should have been there to back up the police. NOT ATTACK THEM. They were supposed to protect the area & compliment the police presence.
the optics around this is terrible. It showed that the Alt Right in the UK is still under the influence of 1980's style tactics that are no longer useful to a 21st century environment. those drunk cretins are not something we should be supporting or aspiring to be like. They are a liability in an internet age.
The Alt Right in the UK needs new intelligent leadership to get away from the laziness & fecklessness of Tommy Robinson. Robinson has had his chance and failed to make anything of it. Now is the time for new fresh blood to come in and give fresh insight & leadership for the Alt Right in the UK.
