AAP are lying bastards

and so is the NZ Herald, for repeating it.
‘..The show of strength by police appeared to have quelled unrest in London late Tuesday, but in a move that could raise tensions, a far-right group said about 1,000 of its members around the country were taking to the streets to deter rioters.
“We’re going to stop the riots police obviously can’t handle it,” Stephen Lennon, leader of the far-right English Defense League, told The Associated Press. He warned that he couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be violent clashes with rioting youths.
Anders Behring Breivik, who has confessed to the bombing and massacre that killed 77 people in Norway last month, has cited the EDL as an inspiration…’
NO. HE. DID. NOT.
Breivik expressed contempt for the EDL because they are committed to peaceful means of opposing radical islam.
These smears aren’t merely lazy journalism–they’re part of a determined campaign to discredit the EDL.
