EDL watch

[toggle]

Anybody know if there's any anti-facists active from Plymouth down other than the UAF?

not as far as i'm aware. any particular problem?

 

[Delroy Booth]

There's a demo in Leeds this weekend too. Also lots of rumours and txts going around in the Muslim community of something in Huddersfield and Halifax on the same day. Not sure if anything's been done as a counter.

 

[butchersapron]

The whole point was to get people doing rumours. To project nationwide relevance. Job done.

Leeds, Bradford and Halifax and Huddersfield.

Just had three blokes at the door who are going round the area trying to get people to counter them at the Huddersfield one in the morning (11am Market Square).

Going door to door seems a bit much at this point. These are just rumours that've been going round for days now in a few different towns.

Rather people turn up and no one there than no one turn up and the EDL uncountered.

 

[malatesta32]

they may be spreading themselves too thinly if they are doing '10-12' demos round the country. especially if people head to london for woolwich kick off possibility.

I suspect the ones (at least in west yorks) are having early demos before heading to the bigger ones.

 

[malatesta32]

yeah, they are bascially going from wetherspoons to wetherspoons. the family has rejected them, the EDL are desperate for it to not go off, no flags, drinking, shouting or post demo brawling. and i cant see them not fucking it up somewhere. good luck to everyone out and about tomorrow!

 

[machine cat]

i cant see them not fucking it up somewhere.

Shortly after the first wetherspoons I expect.

 

[malatesta32]

yeah, wetherspoons are going to have to do something soon as they're getting a lot of negative gossip about em 'supporting' EDL.

 

[Anudder Oik]

EDL tools need to read this.

The regiment of Drummer Lee Rigby has urged its members not to participate in ‘self-serving’ demonstrations following the soldier’s brutal murder in Woolwich last week.

A number of demonstrations have been held since Drummer Rigby’s death last Wednesday, with members of the English Defence League marching through central London on Monday.
EDL members protested outside Downing Street, with protesters heard chanting ‘Muslim killers off our streets’ and ‘There’s only one Lee Rigby’.

Drummer Rigby’s regiment has now distanced itself from such demonstrations, with regimental secretary Brigadier Ian Liles criticising organisations trying to ‘exploit’ the murder for ‘a range of self-serving and unhelpful reasons’.

It's from metro, as mention by malatesta.

 

[machine cat]

Spoons is empty. Completely empty. No Saturday morning drinkers. Nothing.

Counter demo is here but fuck all EDL.

 

[treelover]

I suspect the very dignified family statement has had some impact.

 

[cesare]

I suspect the very dignified family statement has had some impact.

Or they've decided to concentrate on London.

 

[machine cat]

The pub had refused to open until 12pm. About 30 edl, 15 on the counter. Pretty quiet tbf. All gone to Leeds now.

 

[butchersapron]

Looks like this the week HnH definitively beat searchlight. And the izzardisation of anti-fascism takes a giant stop forwards.

 

[treelover]

apparently there are hundreds of protesting anti's here, but despite dr draig and others I will make the point again, they will disappear as soon as it is over, not join the bedroom tax events, etc, so much for solidarity.

 

[butchersapron]

Bit of both today in bristol (two things almost side by side) hopefully we can put across that things like the bedroom tax organistion is proper anti-fascism.

 

[YouSir]

So? Does you repetitively complaining make any difference at all to that?

 

[treelover]

Tommy as Kitchener

Hubris?

This is a bit irritating, as it makes it sound like no-ones spent months and months on workfare, ATOS, bedroom tax etc etc.

 

[treelover]

I'm talking about a certain milieu, not activists

Which milieu?

 

[coley]

Tommy as Kitchener

Hubris?

Wonder if he realises what a stupid prick he looks? And that the poster he has hijacked was responsible for sending thousands of young men to a senseless death.

 

[grogwilton]

Looks like they also need proof readers.

 

[butchersapron]

That's what it says.

First as tragedy...

 

[butchersapron]

Not a one turned up to lay wreath here. There may be some locked in nearby, but , I don't think so.

 

[coley]

First as tragedy...

The EDL will always be a farce led by an arse.
