The EDL has failed to get rid of the nazis inside, the most notorious one being hel gower who has the support of tommy and kevin.
Just recently in a bus to the manchester demo a known Israel supporter got harrassed and attacked by nazis.
They did indeed oust Roberta and eventhough most will probably agree with most of JTF's standpoints, for reasons of political correctness they renounce JTF completely and insist it is a terrorist organization.
There are good people supporting the EDL because they don't have anything else to pick.
