@ShockatAdam This is really sad news. Manjula was a close friend of my late dad and after his passing regularly checked-in with my sister and I. She will be missed.

The histories of the NF, the BNP & the EDL all show that the far-right has been beaten when communities have come together against it. While such groups purport to speak on behalf of the white working class, they have been firmly rejected by those exact people time & time again.
