The English Democrats Party: A little digging goes a long way

I thought I'd continue with the current theme of the week. I'm having such fun with it, and it's pulling in the punters so well (thanks guys), so what the hell.

Let's have a little fumble with the toy thing that is the 'EDP' before I get bored come next Thursday and move onto far more important topics.

Like, perhaps, my opinions on motor vehicles from the far East, or my observations on unsettled weather patterns in Britain or whether I'm going to get factor 20 sun cream for my upcoming holiday to the Med.

I shan't re-state the whole tawdry row between the 'EDP' and this brilliant website. If you've been up to speed on the whole daft affair, there's a glimmer of a chance that there's half an ounce of intrigue left to squeeze out of your frontal lobe.

I was browsing the interwebs today on our favourite political party of choice, only to discover what appears to be an endless, unlimited source of information. It seems I am far from alone in having bizarre, surreal online feuds with Steve Uncles and the EDP. It happens all the time.

Honestly, I feel as though I have woken up as a character in a 'Saw' movie, except it's real, and I think I'm alone in the room, chained up and tormented by a complete freak, except in the next half a dozen rooms there are people just like me, wondering how the hell they'd woken up in a filth encrusted, stench filled shit hole.

I'll provide one example, and believe me if you dig about enough, the whole thing is a real eye opener.

I stumbled across a blog post written by a harmless Scottish bloke called 'Adullamite'.

He, from a very different stand point to my own, also criticised the English Democrats Party, following on from a party political broadcast (I based my criticism on their manifesto as seen on their website).

I implore you to read the comments that followed from his article on his blog. At least one of these posters have come here to attack me, yet the majority of the content of these responses from people are, how shall I put this? Disturbing.

But what happened next? Yep! You got it! Steve Uncles got wind of it, and...copied and pasted it onto the British Democracy Forum!

Here's what he had to say about the Scottish blogger. I'm sure you'll find it all in good taste and all quite respectable and appropriate for a prospective Member of the European Parliament representing this country:

"English Democrats "laughing" at Liberal Democrats Self Hater

O Deary me - another Liberal Democrats Blogger who Hates his Country - England

He wants the current English to take responsibility for the FACT that the Scottish atttempt to gain an Empire prior to 1707 resulted in Scotland going bankrupty, like the Scottish Banks today, ENGLAND had to bail our the Scots."

Penfold, I'm sorry, I meant...'cassie', then followed up with:

"He sounds like another closet Scot too dishonest to say so. Pathetic!

Old Gashie has given him what for!!!"

So this is how the upper echelons of the EDP behave is it? To rip into bloggers for having an opinion and exercising their free speech, but not to their faces as a rule, rather on this wotsit democracy forum thing.

By 'rip into', I mean to say, to use thoroughly repugnant and unseemly language like 'self hater' and use pejorative language in the description of Scottish people.

The spectacular irony here, is that Mr Uncles has somewhat of a habit of tracking down dissenters and people who disagree with his party and it's position, and lambasting them for racism and defamatory behaviour.

So it's OK to go round the net, and lay unsubstantiated charges and serious accusations against harmless bloggers, calling them names and using distasteful pejorative terms and ill-mannered, intemperate language against them. But as soon as anyone says anything negative about him or the EDP, he hits the roof and gets all offended and upset.

Can anyone tell me what this bloke's problem is? Or is it all a stunt to drum up publicity for his party, hoping that the more the EDP get mentioned (regardless of the context) the more likely people are to vote for it?

It's a risky election strategy is Uncle Uncles's I tell you! The last time I saw a strategy like this (for he is or was the EDP's 'Election Strategist') was when I last visited my local William Hill bookmakers and an old bloke told me he chose his horses according to whether they had a nose band.

I think your horse has bolted, son.
