Since when has any SWP meeting you know of been full of 'Jihadists' (by which I presume you disparagingly mean politicised Muslims)?
What I've heard is that it was a public SWP meeting of about 9 people, and around 20 EDL (with non-regional accents) turned up and stood at the back of the room. Recognizing there was gonna be trouble, the chair called the meeting off and people filed out, with one SWP member standing in front of the door to stop the EDL following the rest. He got some flak, and one of the EDL members was held off from hitting him by his mates, but everyone managed to get away in the end.

The Ballad of the Geordie Trot
Brave Trot Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Trot Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Trot Robin!
He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge...

... predictable.
They've added 'commies' to their shit list now. Look at their site. Although this could be as much to do with them being heckled by uaf everywhere they go.

Well, yes and no. I don't think it was predictable that a bunch of football hooligans would want to attend a meeting of Dhimmi-Trots (few people do) - but, yes, I suppose it's pretty predictable that, once the oiks did turn up, the smash-smash-smash brigade would turn out to be a little less than determined...

tbh i think they took the sensible option in a hairy situation from the sounds of it - no honour lost there.

Are you sure they are making the most of opportunities in the present period?

Be fair. They attracted an extra twenty people to win over - or at least to debate.
Can the thread title be changed from 'attack' to 'glare at'?
Oh, and the SWP are not 'Commies'

all good points ernesto, where would we all be without you?
I know they're not. And neither are the union Unite but the EDL have yet to make that distinction.

I'm a bit surprised to find that there are 9 swappies in newcastle, but if it's in swappie numbers then that probably means 4-5.
nothing on either of the north east activist email lists I'm on yet, but then there's nothing listed about this meeting on the monthly events / meetings round up diary thing either, and I've not knowingly crossed paths with a swappie since 2003 or so, so I guess I'm probably out of their loop.

Embrace the confusion!
The branching out in to explicit anti-left rhetoric is interesting and undoes their cred further.
They start of by being self appointed guardians against (fundementalist) islam
Then in a matter of months they are adding political crimes to the list.
What makes them qualified to comment on what is "english" and what "english" needs defending from?
Fuck all.

How many SWP members round here have regional accents? Also how do you know they were EDL? Perhaps some local migrant workers had decided to come along to find out what it was all about?
These 'public meetings' are always held in pubs on Wednesday evenings.
The same day as European football ties are shown, in pubs.
Not relevant to the Magpies of course.
