East End Gay Pride: Not An EDL Free Zone

Blogger Latte Labour has been keeping watch on English Defence League support for East End Gay Pride - and how organisers of the event are happy to allow EDL supporters to join their Facebook group.
Oh dear...
We still don't know who is behind the "Gay Free Zone - Fear Allah" posters that have appeared in parts of London this year; Fagburn thinks it could just as easily be some of the gay cunts who support the English Defence League, or some hate-filled homophobic Islamist cunts.
But it's interesting to note how EDLeaguers are getting behind East End Gay Pride.
Time for East End Gay Pride to declare their event an EDL free zone.

• Johann Hari has added a correction after the online version of his article, 'Can We Talk About Muslim Homophobia Now?' "This article originally said Tower Hamlets had the single highest rise in homophobic violence in the UK, when in fact it merely had one of the highest rises over the past decade. Credit to Peter Lilley for emailing to point this out..."
This is a somewhat mendacious non-apology, if you read Lilley's letter again - it's posted in Comments here.
And Hari may have to print a Correction to this Correction: It was PATRICK Lilley who pointed this out.
Facts really aren't Hari's strong point.

  1. Johann Hari is a ginormous tosser who has a long history of mangling statistics in his rush to prove a point.

    if you haven't already seen it, check out the Private Eye a couple of issues ago, where he wrote an angry blog based on some alleged outrage which never took place and actually began life as spoof in his own paper, the Indy.

  2. I bet Hari getting PATRICK Lilley's name was deliberate.
    Patronise your enemies.
    "Who?"
    Tosser.
