EDL watch

[Mapped]

There's a fun fair being set up in Walthamstow now for the celebration and it doesn't sound like the council want the UAF linking up with it.

Our event in the Town Square and Arcade site will continue on Saturday. This will be a family fun day and the area will be full of children and families. We will not allow any counter demonstrations or protests to take place in this area

I don't blame em, either. Why the fuck should they have to endure a bloody victory rally?

 

[Citizen66]

It's hardly a victory either if they're demonstrating elsewhere because of the state.

There was always a good argument for an inclusive family fun day to counterpose the EDL's shite as well as militant direct action opposition to the EDL's presence in Walthamstow.

The UAF didn't want either

I'm all for militant direct action opposition, but when the cause is removed I think the community should decide what they want. Otherwise it'll end up with the community thinking the opposition's as bad as the EDL!

Who are the community?

From what I could see there was genuine community support for all three options including the UAF one to be fair to them if by community you mean organised groups - the wider community seemed fairly ambivalant.

I mean the residents and the people affected by any disruption to their lives. I'm not sure that foisting a victory rally on them tomorrow is a great plan unless whoever's organising it is fairly sure that it will be welcomed (which of course it might be).

I suspect most people will be slightly bemused

Yeah

You don't expect the opposition when the cause has been removed to Westminster

it seems the local muslim groups have stood down for tomorrow, UAF can have their victory parade and the EDL will be kettled in the square. im sure the good folks of walthamstow are relieved they can get to the shops etc and have a normal day.

 

[raknor]

Slightly annoyed although hardly surprised UAF are having a victory rally whilst the EDL are organising in central London, stuff like this is one of the many reasons why I left the swp / anl years ago. Personally will be heading into town in the morning to see what's happening, hopefully with a few comrades, however its proving a bit difficult at the moment to motivate them

 

[Citizen66]

Maybe they're going to the bookfair?

 

[raknor]

Maybe they're going to the bookfair?

They must certainly are and trying to talk me into to as well, must say I'm tempted maybe try and cover both

 

[Citizen66]

Bookfair > pub > ripping the piss out of fash if you can be arsed to leave pub

 

[SpineyNorman]

CXF/Nf in rotherham tomorrow. shd be a miserable turnout.

I'm going over to have a look. Gonna avoid the UAF kettle this time so do you want me to take some pics for you?

 

[Kev Scott LTJ]

...And itll be Snowy outside...

 

[bignose1]

1) Why was an image of the passport under the name Paul Harris floating around on the internet?
2) Why has this not been jumped on by the authorities before now?

Harristed !!

 

[harpo]

And the funfair is free!

No EDL here today, small UAF presence outside the cinema but they've packed in now and Hoe St has reopened.
