Currently membership for the EDL is supposedly completely open to all people who agree with the general aims of the organisation. Last year in interesting story emerged about a skinhead who attended an EDL activity and was refused entrance because of his appearance, this was at a court appearance of one of the EDL leadership, it was decided that the presence of the national media that the skinhead should be asked not to attend the demonstration in spite of travelling all the way from Bristol.
Captain chaos a long term EDL supporter from Bristol wrote on the EDL forum that he was "disgusted" to see somebody dressed in DR martens with a shaved head and complained about the man`s "appearance". Chaos also posted numerous Anti skinhead postings stating that they should not be allowed on demonstrations, captain chaos seemed to be unaware that skinheads originally listened to Jamaican ska music, and there are left wing skinheads and non political ones. Captain chaos posted on the EDL forum "let`s bash some skinheads skulls in" Captain chaos is a transvestite who stated on the EDL forum that he wanted a sex change via the N.H.S that would cost thousands of tax payers pounds, some EDL supporters thought he was joking, others were furious.
Interestingly enough chaos was employed as a steward at the tower hamlets demonstration, it would seem that all types of minority divisions are encouraged in the EDL apart from skinheads. Below captain chaos on the "far left" who wanted to bash skinheads in"
