Beating the Fascists: The authorised history of Anti-Fascist Action

No remorse wrote a song about Jubilee Gardens. It includes part of the bootleg of the Redskins singing 'Lean on me' that they were performing when they were attacked. Just for it's historical value, here it is:

Anyone care to reminisce about the first AFA meeting or Watford gap, when the coach got wrecked?

There is only one poster on here who was at Watford Gap. I have spoken to him and his version of events is very much at odds with yours. He is unlikely to engage with you.

There are a number of posters who were at Jubilee Gardens though. Let's talk openly about that.

You (and others on that skinhead fb page) reckoned Reds claiming Jubilee Gardens as a victory proved we were lying bastards etc.

I pointed out that Red Action claimed no such thing, that we openly acknowledged
a) we had been caught with our pants down;
b) it was a major coup for the NF/BM and an embarrassment for the Left;
c) it was something of a watershed moment



However in the greater scheme of things...
a) it vindicated Red Action's position and made the almost universal 'the NF are a spent force - ignore them and they'll go away' attitude of the conservative Left look like the wishful thinking it was;

b) We met and recruited a number of what became key, long-term players in the aftermath of the (successful, for you) Redskins attack and the (catastrophic for a lot of you) attack on the Hank Wangford band;

c) It made Red Action the only credible focal point for non-aligned anti-Fascists. RA realised that we needed to broaden things out and create an umbrella group/broad front (which became AFA) to accommodate these people - who had responded so bravely once a lead was given on the day.
 
I have never 'wriggled and diverted' in my emails to you. As said, I can only comment on what I was actually at. Add to this me not wanting to give away anything that is going to be in the book. My accounts will be honest and the difference between us is, I do not have selective memory, like the 'No retreat' book that fails to mention Watford Gap service station. Also, if anyone scans up anything I have written and reproduces or uploads it I will take legal action.

Be sure to mention your relationship with your father.

Neither of the two authors of that book were there. Why would they mention it?

BtF didn't mention it either IIRC - because it was a very minor event amongst many. Btw, do you have any photos of the yellow mini-bus attacked and wrecked by your snue-gliffing hordes at Stonebridge Island on the A45 in January 1981? Your publications used to carry pics of it occasionally.

I was on that. It was an eye-opener. Three people on it later joined Red Action.
 
Naming people can earn you a slap on the wrist, however.

So a prominent career fascist posts on this thread, posing as a concerned leftie looking for info and you respond by criticising me for spotting and naming him in seconds? What a strange post. :oops:

I did not notice you offer bignose1 the same 'protection' when he too joined us pretending he was not who he was.
 
Now you are being naughty. Anyone would think you were trying to provoke a ban.
Fuck off am I. He's the one talking about white power and then being all coy when he's pulled up on it.

You only want him unbanned as fodder for your book.

I'm only stating the forum rules. I have no power here to offer anyone protection; I'm not a mod and have never desired being such.
 
Why ban me, I'm a Socialist. You must've heard of Strasser?


lol. Both of them. Anyway, its not me who will lay the axe, one of the site mods will eventually notice and call time. This is unofficial policy really, even the odd EDL bod popping up on the EDL thread has a short life span so to speak
 
Liam you can't pick and choose which forum rules you want enforced. Naming real-life names has always been a massive no-no on here.

Liam, I have never claimed 'the reds' took Jubilee Gardens as a victory. Yes a few of Craneys lot got a kicking, but that is their fault for being late. I have never associated with glue sniffers and they were despised by proper 'right-wing' skinheads. I'm here to discuss past confrontations in a civilised manner, nothing more or less. Surely there will be interest in this book, from right across the political spectrum, as there will for yours too I am sure.
 
I don't think he can be banned simply for being fash. If that's the case then why are the Tory fuckers on here tolerated? However the probability of him saying something that would get him banned increases as time elapses.

Fidgemagnet just does them under the 'don't be a cunt' act.
