Whitechapel... where anarchists were beaten up by "30 angry young Asian men"

http://www.schnews.org.uk/archive/news7277.php

A very biased and selective version from JHE which runs counter to this report:.

One note of concern was that rising tension had seen misdirected anger focused on an unfortunate van driver and a lone “skinhead” who was rescued from an angry crowd by marshalls from the Mosque. It is unclear what exactly the spark for these incidents was but the EDL might like to reflect on such events before deciding on future provocations in the area. Despite these isolated events WAG encountered no hostility, chatting freely with youth from both Tower Hamlets and Newham. It is important to note that despite EDL claims on internet forums Whitechapel was NOT a “no-go area” for white people on Sunday.

A gang of young lads terrorise their neighbourhood shocker.

... from Schnews, you mean.

Still, I'm very willing to believe that a van driver and a 'skinhead' were also attacked - as well as "four white local punk anarchists".

Unfortunately, four white local punk anarchists (who are actively against the EDL) were caught up in the atmosphere of paranoia and were attacked by 30 angry young Asian men.​

Apparently "misdirected anger" towards the van driver and skinhead and "30 angry young Asian men" attacked four local punk anarchists, but reportedly no hostility towards WAG? A confusing set of reports all round.

Some of them came into the pub close to freedom a couple of weeks ago after id bought a book there and there was indeed a black and Asian guy amongst them as I chatted to them for a bit.

To be fair, they definately have. They are all working clarse and on the streets as well.

Don't suppose Dulwich has it's own Anarchist group does it

I could be the DAG founder/only member.....blacks, asians & EVEN women welcome as long as your proper Anarchists & long term Dulwich residents and council tax payers!

First meeting in the EDT on Thurs evening.......I tried to book Weds but we were gazumped by the Mother and Child Ashraam yoga & knitting group.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

Actually joking aside there is a really sound group of anarchists and TUists around Dulwich, I don't think they are massively active around the community yet (they mostly do workplace stuff atm) but I know it is an aim.

any timescales for when they might make the transition?

I assume it will be when things calm down in some of their workplaces.

If true, it's news to me that he's gone into hiding. He'll be trembling from the Ray, Gregor, Adair and state pressure I suspect?

 

[Citizen66]

of course it does

Well it did 4 or 5 weeks ago.

 

[revlon]

Another "peaceful" demo by the happy hour brigade, leads to 20 arrests in Dudley, where reportedly drainpipes and house bricks were tossed around.

I know you like to take the piss Pickman's, as do most of us at times, but just to point out it's a Lancaster Unity report and they are not part of the UAF as you know it. Lancaster Unity follow Searchlight mainly.
