I find the people who make the most noise about "the working class" are the people least likely to be actually working for a living... just my observation, and there are always exceptions to the rule... most of these EDL lot are Stella swigging lazy bastards as far as I can tell... always amusing when they accuse the foreigners of "stealing their jobs" when they refuse to take same jobs in favour of dole money...

How would you know whether EDL members are refusing same jobs in favour of dole money? It's a convenient stereo type and i have seen letters in the Guardian making the same point but how true is it?

The same stereotype could be made against the Muslim separatists , are they too refusing to work and claim dole money? Not sure about the groomers either.

Exeter EDL protest;

This was organized by UAF and others. It wasn’t just a coming together of local people and did not miraculously appear out of thin air.

Last summer the EDL were threatening to have a march on the Mosque – we had a meeting that agreed to hold a celebration of diversity in opposition. The EDL then backed off from this.

In early January the EDL had 6 of their members walking up and down the High Street in balaclavas. This was in the run up to Luton – so we decided to leaflet the footie ground. 15 of us put in 1000 lealfets – the EDL id’d one person who subsequently got threats + abuse on facbook.

While trawling facebook we discovered they were planning “ban the burka” protest – seemed bigger. UAF has big email list and called organizing meeting – some unions, Labour Party, students who had occupied the Uni and the Woodcraft Folk attended. Counter protest called and publicized by email.

I have sympathy with the comments about needing a political alternative to undercut the EDL. We decided to call a “celebration” cos people wanted something positive + Big, wanted kids involved etc. We did a leaflet (3000 given out) that as well as saying who the EDL are we also included section;

“The truth is we all face attacks on our jobs and pay…
The present government is trying to cut people’s pay, put up taxes and cut services – all to pay for a crisis caused by the bankers. And yet the EDL have nothing to say about this - their only answer is to scapegoat Muslims for all the problems in society. “

Interesting first post ...
 
It's also a bollocks stereotype.

First of all, many EDL are or have been hoolies. Most lads work. You don't spunk a few grand every year on clothes unless you've got an income.

Second of all, anybody who makes the argument that 'immigrants do the jobs that others can't be arsed to do' is a middle class bellend, which admittedly is hardly a revelation in pk's case.

"The Guardian" LOL you'll have to do better than that Mr Step.

How true is it? Why are you asking me?

You know them better than I do PT, and that's because you used to run with them.

So you make the argument that I am somehow providing "bollocks stereotype" then you go on to describe me as a "middle class bellend". :D

I don't know what constitutes middle class on your planet but you are so hilariously wrong it beggars belief. You think because I can type without making spelling mistakes (too often) that I was boarded with the very essence of honey'ed spoon, that I am from gilded loins and endless options.
I'm just a jumped up cunt same as you, only I chose to reject all that marxist bollocks because I chose a life instead.
And I'm glad I did, because it seems genuine revolutionary technology has caught up with revolutionary politics. About time too! Viva Wikileaks!
 
I sometimes think that if it wasn't for free thinking types like pk that we would have all of been brainwashed by the commies and the marxists. Thank heavens one man took a stand , not just for himself but for mankind but for those too many to name like Ruby and Boogie Boy, Foo and the Cambridge crew ,Loud1, you da man, keep up the good work - Atomic Suplex, all the best, still owe you a drink or two for the kit, best of luck in Nippon, you rock - Kid Eternity for sticking up for ol' pk and for being creative, never stop - Longdog for being one of the old skool favourite posters here - Tony1798, we'll have that Guinness when I'm not playing records! - Maggot for the help and loyalty, cheers mate - Tarranau and Lizardqueen, hope to see you around sometime - Eastender for the mad sessions way back - Tanky and Milesey for being a lovely couple even though they didn't invite me to their wedding - Cloo for being you - Haylz for being in Wales - Jazzz for being a spazz, just keep the pianism up yes? - Griff for the red shoes, dude, when next in Essex... - Yossarian for making me laugh daily at 3am for years, nice one mate! - JC2 for being a good Canuck, never met a bad one (except once in Israel) look after yourself dude - Sheof for never showing her face, respect and blessings - Relahni and Rollem for the Bermondsey massive - Skim (keep the 808 break) nice DJ work BTW and good luck with the baby - Pinkmonkey.
 
Face it, revolutions can be organised, and won, without having to listen to any of the faded 1980's marxist pisshead drivel. Brilliant news IMO.

Please dont link to anything from the wankers from spiked online - they are self appointed 'contrarians' tossers who use obstensibly left libertarian arguments to promote an ulitimately pro-rightwing/establishment agenda. They have a media presence and influence that is mystfyingly out of all proportion to their relevance, position or intellectual ability (witness the amount of discussion programmes that the utterly fuckwitted clare fox turns up on).

They use the same cynical entryist tactics on the media that they learnt whilst members of the Revolutionary Communist Party wierdo cult (who used to argue things like 'socialists should oppose the NHS')

Avoid like the plaugue/shoot on sight.

That is a nauseatingly smug piece. One thing surley more annoying than preening middle class lefties is preening middle class reactionaries getting on their high horse about them, making sweeping unqualified assumptions and invoking lazy stereotypes just to fill space.
