Most of the others just seemed to be looking for a sense of belonging and a surrogate family. The older blonde from Yorkshire had classic Queen Bee Syndrome.
The actual issues and policies of the EDL seemed secondary to the fulfilment of an emotional need.
Had to laugh at the announcer at the beginning:
"Now, with racist language from the start, "EDL Girls: Don't call us racist".
I've never seen it, because I love the book so much and I don't want to be disappointed. Do you think it does the book justice?
very much so, it's subtely different. It's a little bit less subtle, but the stuff that works in the book,that's left out wouldn't work in the film if you see what I mean.
The film has an amazing use of light and music that work together and the look feels very convincing.
