EDL watch

[SpineyNorman]

I don't agree with the above, I don't think the kind of uncritical approach she took (to all sides of the debate, EDL, Muslim loons, normal Muslims, anti-EDL) constitutes good journalism, especially in that Kevin Carrol etc. were made to look perfectly rational when they're complete mentalists. But I do think kicking up a stink about this would be incredibly counter-productive. As others have mentioned, the audience is likely to have been made up mainly of people who were already interested and who had already made up their minds one way or another - making a fuss about it would only, could only, give it publicity and ensure that audience widens.

One good thing that has come out of last Saturday's fiasco is that the far-right has just threatened to attack the St Ptrick's day parade in Liverpool on March 17th.

There's nothing like trying to over-stretch yourself is there?

It's a bit like winning a Primary school hundred yard dash, and the next day believing you can win an Olympic Gold.

They stopped the St Paddys Day parade in Liverpool once in the not so distant past. If the parades by the LIPRFB and has got the few hundred partying locals from Scotland Road behind it then id say its going to be a tougher nut to crack for them than the recent march. Also anti fascists will be more organised and plod are likely to crack down on them as St Paddys day in Liverpool is a good cash cow for the city businesses.

Somehow I think they will realise that a St Patrick's Day Parade is not actually an IRA march between now and then.

Nobody is THAT stupid are they?

So Luton Council's response to the undercurrents that give rise to racist scapegoating and Fascist ideas is (drum roll)...."a branding campaign".

Holy fucking shit. How out of touch are these people?

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

So at least 2 progs devoted to a dwindling bunch of right wing befuddled violent loons in a short space of time.

But have there been any specialist docs looking at black block and the like (not that they are necessarily violent befuddled loons)?

Nah. Bollocks to that. fetishising leftism won't do. fascism and hate - that's what gives commissioners more of an erection (yes, they generally are male)

After St Tommy the Cokehead got his slot with Paxman (his 2nd, this was following the Oslo massacre) - I wrote to the BBC asking how many people should die in an anarchist massacre before they get a slot. It was couched more politely than that with some more serious points. No reply.

 

[Red Storm]

I think looking at anarchism in the uk would be even more of a dull watch that do s on the edl

 

[albionism]

Oi, watch it!

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

Not the first of these, but still bloody weird - good anti fash hackery at the Daily Star. Must be the 2012 dimension shifts.

You mean someone signing up to the site for a personal blog and posting up the same never ending bollocks as this thread?

It is true though.

To be fair, on the "never ending bollocks" that you take such careful time to read, I daresay it takes one to know one. Never have I seen such skills so consistently wasted on such naysaying negativity.

EDL news are saying they wont be touching it and that the CXF are morons for calling for the stopping of the Paddys Day march. The justification given by Liverpool loyalists/fascists was always that the Paddys Day parade was led by the local Republican Flute Band, thus making it an IRA supporters march. CXF are along with their allies more anti IRA/Irish than the EDL etc who havent got the same degree of active loyalism [Ulster style] within their ranks.

 

[Ranbay]

if what i read is true it's kicking off in Deansgate with EDL and Ajax fans.....
