Loving the old granny, lecturing the edl. Wagging her finger and everything.
 
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.

looked almost equal numbers on that YouTube vid, and they sounded mostly Yorkshire maybe some boro/mackem in there and Geordie - not sure though.

Years ago Newcastle's old firm (NME) kicked the NF out of the town, not sure if the current lot (Gremlins) would do the same - times have changed.

Actually aihsb,the rise of these new groups is worrying, (the much circulated picture of some EDL picking on a Muslim girl on a train they are becoming more confident and the dynanism(sic(lies with them not the left which seems to be in terminal decline. While WILOTL obsesses about identity politics, cosies up to fundamentalists and ignores basic issues,i cant see this changing.
 
so let me get this straight. swappies call a public meeting. some members of the public turn up. and the swappies call it off? that seems to be the substance of uberdog's op.
 
It must be more than a tad embarrasing to only have 9 people at a public meeting.. 9 would still be low for an average branch meeting i would have thought...
:oops:
 
When i went to the swp's public meeting ages ago there was about 9 people there, and i was also the only member of the public :oops:
 
Despite an interuption from NAZI BNP members the meeting was a great success with lots of vibrant discussion amongst the workers, trade unionists and students present. Martin Smith sent his apologies, but he was busy canvassing for Margaret Hodge in Barking, East London to stop the FASCISTS. We passed a resolution to support the muslims and organise a diversity festival for Hope Against Racism (headliners UB40 with guest speakers Benjamin Zephaniah). Three papers sold.
 
I'm just glad we have more acronyms in circulation. The number of acronyms are a clear measure of civilisation.

They were there for one thing and one thing only, to disrupt proceedings you muppet.
 
tommy robinson issues an anti-nazi statement on behalf of edl
As our movement grows rapidly, as our support grows rapidly, we need to address some concerns with regard to the infiltration of National Socialists. National Socialism is Fascism, lets make no apologies for a violent racist ideology much akin to Islamism.

Nazis have no place in the EDL, the EDL want Nazis exposed and ejected from our demonstrations, we want no part in their sickening schemes, we do not want them attaching themselves to the EDL movement, there is no place for racism in the EDL, our diversity and our integrity is our strength.

Ever since we have burnt the Nazi flag in the presence of our Black friends the extreme far right nutjobs of the National Front, Blood And Honour, Combat 18, British Freedom Fighters and other affiliated yet "autonomous” Nationalistic racist groups have come out to cause us trouble.

As any real member of the EDL will know it is imperative that Nazis are identified to our stewards so we can eject traitorous scum from our ranks and from our demos.

i fucking love these lads. No mention of the bnp though :hmm:
 
Then there's the EDL co-founder who writes in his biography about stabbing people and writing on walls in shit for "fun"?

Then there's this, which was posted on Lancaster Unity a while back:

...we discover that the EDL's spokesman Kelway has the following hardcore neo-Nazi Facebook friends which shoot holes in his claims not to be a nazi.

FRIENDS INCLUDE: -

Frank Atack who like BNP member Gary Aronsson likes his SS insignia. Whereas Gazza plumped for the Totenkopf (3rd Division), Frank opts for the 2nd division, Das Reich as his avatar. One of Frank's friends also has a Waffen SS picture. Frank stood for the BNP in Dewsbury in 2007 and is in a folk band, Red Claire with other BNP members.

Ian Sayers who has a Sunderland Vote BNP avatar
Sean Barry who goes for an Ulster red Hand 'No Surrender'
Roger Phillips (Wales BNP) who proudly shows a picture taken with Nick Griffin
Paul Tranter who has a charming bulldog with a superimposed union flag. Tranter himself includes local Liverpool BNP activist Peter Stafford Jr, BNP councillor and drink driver, Bob Bailey and a man with Adolf Hitler as an avatar.
Wewantour countryback who has a 'No Surrender' UK Casuals United avatar, this being a right-wing group of football hooligans.
Dave Brennan - friends with Liverpool BNP. Indeed, this brings us full circle as many of the allies of Liverpool BNP are the same as those for the EDL, including SS devotee Frank Atack!

It's not difficult to come to the conclusion that the EDL is a pathetic, pissed-up, happy-hour pinhead outfit, with a mass of contradictions.

Which picture this one in the DailyMail which actually says 'appears intimidated' even thought there was a journalist and a photographer on the train who didn't interview the woman to ask if she was or had been intimidated?

Maybe that's why they printed "appeared intimidated" rather than "said she was intimidated" ...
 
last SWP public meeting I attended Had Martin Smith, two swappies and me and two other anarchos- afterSmith finished telling us how there had never been a better time to be a socialist. I was the first contribution from the floor
I asked if after the failure of both orthodox leninism, and the debacle of 80 years of betrayal and failure, not a single successful revolution and of the trotskyist parties who have failed to achieve any thing positive since the collapse of stalinism and finally becoming the lickspittles of islamic fascism, perhaps he and his comrades might to try a little humility.
I also demanded 20 years worth of membership subs back.- shortly after the meeting was called off in some disarray.
