What bothers me (judging purely by the comments by EDL supporters on Facebook and Twitter) is that many of them are so easily led and poorly educated. My mother left school at 14, but was very well-read and refused to take anything she read in the newspapers at face value. She was an old-school Clyde-side socialist and raised me to look beyond what the media said, and this was reinforced by my secondary education. I can't help feeling that we've failed a lot of these young people, who are being exploited and encouraged into violent behaviour whilst their leaders hide behind their computer screens.
