Pub landlord either really sympathizes with EDL (one of EDL members is spotted there quite often, maybe something to do with that?) or he is happy to take their money and turn the blind eye, that way or another he might think twice next time.

Thats what I thought Bronco.
Pubs before 5th Feb in Luton were approached (by the Police or EDL I don't know) to have EDL members drinking in there. At times (not saying its so in the Brighton case) I would not be surprised if the Police tell pubs they have to have the EDL in there (as it makes the Polices job easier keeping them all in one place).
But thats in Luton(and my experiences watching football up and down the country, the police request a pub for such and such fans to drink in, little the owner can do about it). Brighton seems to be different.
I also would not rule out the owner being happy taking the money (their trade has taken a right whack the last few years) not caring who it is coming from. One pub for sure made a killing on 5th Feb from the EDL. Probably one of their busiest days all years.
Or maybe they are full blown EDL members themselves, which fair enough however small the action is.

Fair play to them. The pub landlord deserves such treatment for entertaining those racist scumbags.

I don't exactly see how paintbombing some place is a "victory against fascism" like the way everyone is making it to be...if that's a victory against fascism, I wonder what the Liberation of Auschwitz must've been on the timeline.
who ever said its a victory against fascism? Have you got anything useful to say or you just wanted to have one more post on your profile?
Pretty ironic you talking about useful things to say, AS.

I doubt it change much at all if we are honest. The EDL will still drink in many pubs (including the only one which was done in Luton*) up and down the country with little to no care.
*Which was not carried out by Anti Fascists, but Asian gangs who have their own agendas. The EDL still drink in there and unless you have 100 mob handed it be suicidal to take them on in there. Chuck paint over this place, and you probably get 20 more EDL members in there the next week. (along with CCTV which no doubt the landlord would be more than happy to pass over to the police if any night time activity took place).
i suppose you have better ideas how to deal with it?
No I ain't realistically, but here at least raiding the Dulux aisle in B and Q would do absolutely nothing.
Again I stress maybe things are different in Brighton, if it stops them using this pub as a base (I am pretty sure I would just go to the next one anyway) its worthwile.
