Roberta Moore found guilty of assault

Even far right activists have been keen to distance themselves from Roberta Moore of the JDL:

In February an EDL spokesman admitted Ms Moore’s “gung-ho attitude” had “caused a great deal of trouble and unrest”.

A new group, the Jewish Defence League of Great Britain, has now also distanced itself from Ms Moore

Gavin Williams, who claims to be a non-Jewish former administrator of [The EDL Jewish Divsion’s] Facebook group, said he had withdrawn his support over concerns about Ms Moore’s conduct.

He said: “What is being posted is mainly to do with Muslims. I told Roberta that the extremism had to stop. I’ve walked away because I don’t want to be associated with it.”

Now Moore, together with Robert de Jonge, has been found guilty of assault after they attacked two men at a Palestine literary festival last September – Moore used ‘farb-gel’ against Andy Simons and Simon Assaf, and de Jonge apparently rushed onto the stage and assaulted Simons. This, obviously, is not a good way to deal with people you don’t want to hear.  Both Moore and de Jonge will be sentenced in March.
