Yeah the most of them really are scum, the remainder are just impressionable young people who like to draw swastikas.
We don't have EDL around here but we have the local football casuals who are a complete shower of bastards. They run about putting their little tags on things and drawing swastikas and national front symbols. Most of them don't even know what brand of gas they're sniffing, let alone what the symbols mean. They wait until Saturday for the football match, then start hurling abuse at grandas and weans, thinking they're big hard men.
They're very brave being racists in our town, which is about as diverse as a bunch of grapes
The other groups are just hoods, or little wannabe paramilitaries. They're basically just the same as the young teams in Scotland. They're just pawns for the older guys. They sell the drugs to kids for them, and do petty assaults, so they don't have to. Then, once people start complaining, they dole out punishment to their own wee minions to show that they're anti-drugs and against anti-social behaviour.
