EDL watch

12 people are currently being detained by Northumbria police in Newcastle. They were arrested as they sought to exercise their human right to demonstrate against the EDL on Saturday 25 May. The 12 include seven FRFI supporters and some anarchists. Later in the afternoon, police raided the homes of those they had arrested and took away a computer. Newcastle Unites, a coalition which includes Labour councillors, Newcastle TUC and the SWP, had passed the names of our comrades to the police earlier in the week in order to exclude them from a public meeting on Thursday and then gave the police the green light to arrest them today. In a Facebook posting this week Newcastle Unites figurehead Dipu Ahad warned FRFI and other committed anti-fascists that if they attempted to join the anti-EDL rally,
‘I assure you that you will be thrown out of the demo and the public meeting by our stewards who will be many. You will also be reported to the police for causing disorder!’
Police stood outside the Newcastle Unites public meeting with a list of names and barred anybody whose name was on the list.

The cartoon you you post is perfectly clear, isn't it? The young lady with the EDL shield is kicking the pig-mozza out of Europe.

I can understand that you disagree with kicking Islam out of Europe, but you have nothing to gain by pretending not to understand that others, including the football hooligans of the EDL, want to protect Europe from Islam.

And you're too ignorant to see the echoes of Der Sturmer in that cartoon?

Idiot. Self-destructive idiot. Suicidal.

There is a lot of that going on, on various social media.

I was on Church Road and witnessed what was described on some site as "a Help for Heroes charity collector punched in the face by people who were chanting they didn't care about the dead soldier".

What really happened - A couple of dicks unfurled a H4H banner and started aggressively targeting anyone who looked remotely foreign and asking them if they supported soldiers. It's noteworthy that these two had no badges or collection boxes. After goading a group of bemused bystanders for 30 seconds or so, the police on horseback dove in and told them to fuck off. I later saw one of these "charity collectors" tell a couple of kids of no more than 12 years old that there were "people down there who want to cut your fucking heads off" (motioning down Church Road toward Lawrence Hill).

Thanks for that. You humourless racist wanker.
 
had my first taste of the EE EDL chant last night in Vauxhall. Was in bed reading book and heard two blokes giving it the EE EDL. After 3 chants it went quiet. Clearly they had just come from some pub or somewhere after the Kessler v Froch boxing as I had just finished watching it myself.

Labour councillor Dipu Ahad Threatened to report anything the official demo didn't like to the old bill on the Newcastle Unites page on facebook prior to the event.

There was an official Help for Heroes collection in the Galleries on Friday. They were proper soldiers in uniform, not some football hooligans from Kingswood. One of them called me "love" and I didn't give them any money, although not for that reason.
 
Love is in the air ...

Too close to home for me. The pub was two minutes walk from my last house and I know Lesmoor Kelly. Must have been a nightmare for him trapped in there with barricades at the front and all the shenanigans in the garden but he's a local through and through so others hopefully were looking out for him. Mind you knowing the confused mindset of those doing the fighting he might not have been in any more danger than any others in there.
 
this is a common problem. its very difficult to get the shots when it goes off cos plod totally surround them. this is why the typical demo has loads of shots early outside the pub then loads of coppers backs!

As they lift their 'fallen comrade' - probably trapped his toe in the door - I am reminded of Nelson's reputed last words Kiss Me Hardy - a lot of deep-cover in denial closets here methinks .

Strong heroics on show all round especially 2:27 when one bolts through the door and closes it behind him leaving the lad in red to get battered a bit more. He then attacks the door he has himself pulled closed clearly not fancying the ruck in the other doorway. Have to say that despite once living there I hadn't realised the pub had a garden area until now, you learn summat new every day.
 
I'm guessing that this has already been covered?

Indeed. SWP/UAF/whatever bunch of liberal pseudo-lefties were involved were definitely part of the problem there.

By the way it was reported that SWP/UAF did something very similar when the EDL came to Manchester back in 2009, so they have form for this kind of thing.
