EDL watch

from the fluffies website. at least plod know who he is now tho for when we all vote for him to be PCC.

They absolutely ransacked mine,” Carroll told me. “They smashed the door off and wrecked my home. They took my only vehicle, with all the tools of my trade inside, and impounded it, as well as Tommy’s car.” The police, the bomb squad, forensics teams, and sniffer dogs spent seven and a half hours stripping Carroll’s van to the bone. “When they finished,” he said, “they found nothing! They loaded it up with bugs and GPS monitors and threw everything in the back; it looks like it’s been in a blender.” After smashing the door to Carroll’s home off its hinges, police officials repaired it, got a locksmith to put on a new lock, and left with the new keys, leaving Carroll locked out of his own home. When Carroll was released, still wearing his white paper prison suit, it was dark and raining; true to form, police officials offered him no transportation, even though it was late at night on a Sunday.
 
And now (from that rubbish), after:

The police ban has implications for the right to protest. It covers a number of London boroughs and in theory bans all marches for a month. The police force should not have such sweeping powers, and the home secretary should not have granted its requests for them.

Calls for state bans on fascist groups are dangerous because they end up putting these powers in the hands of the police. It is the numbers on the anti-fascist side that stopped the EDL, not the police.
 
Rotherham wasn't much to write home about. I got there just after 10. Saw the nationalist security UK bloke again. I now suspect he is in fact fantasist security UK and he got his mum to sew it on the back of a flourescent cycling bib for him. He was wandering out of the UAF pen when I saw him, surrounded by coppers and looking very proud of himself having bravely walked past some students and hippies who didn't even appear to have noticed he was there.

When I first got there there were 4 NF including the skinniest old bonehead I've ever seen who was there with his John Prescott lookalike girlfriend. By 11ish there were about 8 and I decided it was far too boring and went to the UAF pen to see if anyone fancied a pint. Heard later that about 30-40 eventually gathered in a different location from where they were originally meant to be meeting but by then I was busy quenching my thirst so didn't bother going for a gander.

I forgot my camera but I do have a pic of the 8 brave patriots defending the Halifax building society from the Jooz and Muslamics on my phone and as soon as I've figured out how to put it online I'll stick it up.

This he in the back?

I would say there was a bit more than 40 EDL (would have said 100-130, still poor turnout) there by 1-1.30pm especially as at one point on the opposite side of the road, two of us were surrounded by at least 20 of them! It was also a real opportunity to completely finish them off that was missed by anti fascists. What really upset me was seeing them strut around central london with impunity!!

A few of them tried to interfere with the deaths in police custody march (which we spent time between the two events) but they were quickly sent packing. Not a particularly great day for them but especially not for anti fascists as there was effectively no opposition!

I am somewhat disappointed in todays events & the UAF were culpable in undermining the anti fascist turnout (hope they enjoyed their victory rally!!)
 
If UAF had wanted to they could have chased the NF out of town easily today. I think locals, especially Asians, were pissed off at seeing the EDL pretty much given free rein a couple of weeks ago and they turned out in numbers - hardly any SWP there but loads of pretty handy looking young Asian lads. Speakers from the stage telling them to stay peaceful, violence makes you as bad as them etc. But later on, when the NF had moved somewhere else (rumours they were going to Dewsbury, possibly because there was an NHS demo there today???) the speakers said they were going to "reclaim" the space NF had assembled in. The young lads obviously wanted to have a go and if they hadn't been so consistently discouraged I'm convinced they'd have done so. So we had the self-elected leaders of "militant" UK antifascism actively trying to prevent a big group of largely a-political lads from engaging in... errrmmm... militant antifascist tactics. Brilliant!

E2A: I guess the lack of SWP may have been down to them being bussed down to Waltham Forest??

that skinny old loser is probably kevin watmough and his foul bride kathleen mcdermody. they're a lovely couple. dermody.jpg
 
I think some of them were from Dewsbury/Batley, but I've not heard of anything happening at the nhs demo.

Mate of mine was there, just waiting for him to get back to me about it.

Not worked out how to get the pic off my phone yet but someone I know from the SWP is claiming this was their full national mobilization - it's definitely NF in Rotherham and from today but I can't verify whether that's all of them.

In this state even before Chelsea beat you?
 
I'm reliably informed that the SWP/UAF clashed with police in Waltham Forest today. How the fuck do you clash with police at a counter-demo against a group that isn't even there? And why? Just showing everyone how wadical they were?

Yep UAF insisted on marching twenty feet against a strict police ban they had welcomed to prove their own radicalism.

Fucking idiots
 
im putting a positive spin on the day: 100s of anti-fascists mobilised in walthamstow, 100s of anarchists turned out for the book fair, 40 EDL turned up for trafalgar. a good day.
 
In this state even before Chelsea beat you?
Just removed it...wtf...just that Ive written off the last two weeks since redundancy and now get down to Plan B as from Monday....and I predict an upset Steps....1-3. Chelsea score first...Van P 2 and Valencia.
