“Am raging in me loft here yno... Got the balaclava out, dusted down an ready for the meet.

“I’d be going through there door mate an taking there kids head off an killing whoever was in site!!”

He urged the far-right English Defence League (EDL) to seek retribution for the brutal murder of a soldier by two extremists in Woolwich, London.
