He has not quit, he has simply left the EDL - and will likely be joining another group that is not full of extremists in the ranks.
Everything I have ever heard him say has been reasonable, sensible and not anti muslim or racist. However not everyone is like that and there are an element that have been making the EDL out to be something they were not meant to be.
Just like there are extremists in the Muslim community.

I see. So the muslims who chopped off that soldier's head were not extremists? I think that sort of behaviour could certainly be regarded as extremist.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that bearing in mind the subject we are discussing this thread is more than likely to be deleted.
He has left the EDL to join a Muslim Group to fight extreemism.
He stated " I thought the EDL was part of the solution, but its part of the problem "

Tommy Robinson was brave to do the job he did, considering the aggro he got and the nutters out there biding their time.
He told it how it was, so made himself public enemy no. 1 in certain sections of society. He was a thorn in the side of the pro immigration lobby, which through governments have forced their agenda onto society.
Like Enoch Powell, he saw what the likely outcome would be. Like Powell, he is being proved right. But by the time anything is done about it, it will be too late.

And like Enoch Powell, he's being punished for stating the truth.
Free speech? Don't make me laugh.
Don't worry, there is someone already lining up for the vacancy...

Quite apt when you think of where Robinson's 'skills' were honed...

Actually I agree with him, but not for the reasons you are thinking.
I find football intensely boring - cricket is a much more intelligent and interesting game - but the principle is the same. In both sports, we see more and more foreigners being imported just for the sake of fielding a better team. The England football team (and other England teams, of course) bear the name 'England' only nominally, as many of their players are not English.
The same applies in county cricket. The last county cricket club to exclude players who were not born within its geographical borders was, of course, Yorkshire. They, reluctantly, had to eventually concede and invite the best players they could, wherever they came from, in order to be able to compete on a level playing field (if you'll pardon the pun).
As things are now, teams could (and should) be called anything except for the place they supposedly represent.
The question is 'when are you English enough'?
The reply should of course be - when you are eligible for a passport...
The overpaid bladder kicker says..."If you live in England for five years it doesn't make you English."
What about those who have English parents, but don't live here?

'when are you English enough'? When you're born in England and profess yourself to be English.
If you're born in England and profess yourself to be.....Pakistani/African British then clearly you're not English. Seems simple to me.

I think that's a very fair and acceptable definition.
At the risk of repetition, I think the same should be applied to county cricket: players should be born within the traditional (pre-1970s) county boundaries.
(Of course counties like Middlesex, which can't have a particularly large population, would not be too happy about it!)
