Not Serb. No, Really!
just heard from brighton antifascists that southern casuals said they were turning up at 1 but they bottled it and turned up 2 1/2hrs early at 10.30, dropped the 'reef' and fled. i should think that counts as a surrender!

It's a joint antifascist/bedroom tax rally from what I can gather - couldn't make it myself though cos I'm visiting my mum.

I'm hearing there's about 50 EDL entering Barkers Pool in Sheffield right about now.
Worth remembering that if the far right is allowed to grow in strength campaigns around things like the bedroom tax become much more difficult, and at the same time those kinds of campaigns can be used to undercut the far right.
I'm not sure it's really helpful to try and separate the two or imply that a focus on one is to the detriment of the other.

around 30 edl in Birmingham, maybe 50 anti's, 30 in the UAF pen and a couple of dozen who stayed outside. Was a bit confusing though because there was some biker group who laid flowers first and we thought they were edl (st george cross on a jacket, police liaison discussing with them etc) but the EDL rocked up a bit later. Fucking UAF couldn't keep it down for 2 minutes and started chanting through their silence. More police than anyone else. Lower numbers than I thought which is good.

We have 300ish for the bedoom tax thing (there was some disgusting liberal free food thing as well mind- free adverstising for yuppie pies and the like) 500 yards from where the edl got none.

The same rules apply
The UAF wanted to follow them as they marched off, they had said the wanted to March to the Local Mosque online, once i saw they where going the other way i thought fuck em. but the UAF lot marched on behind them.

To be honest, why would they be any good ? Years building up a paper tiger - why? To what end? If it's because of the underlying danger the social acceptance of their views represents then lets have somethings saying that instead of this relentless edl shite. Let's have some fucking politics mal.

That's the thread and it's political content covered. Time for a pint.

Exasperated, not angry.
the bedroom tax demo was before the edl one, so your comment made absolutely no sense.
between 50 and 80 arseholes turned out. Failed utterly to make it into Barkers Pool, despite two attempts by the police to force them thru. For once we well and truly outnumbered bug stylee, up to 500 anti's there. A couple made an attempt to sneak in after they had 'officially' been dispersed, but they didnt get close and went back to the pub.
They said they weren't going to have any chanting as a 'mark of respect,' but couldnt contain themselves when they saw a teenage lass taking the piss out of them, so we had about thirty fat blokes shouting 'slag, slag, slag' at her for a while - and then they chucked the flowers they were meant to be laying at the war memorial at her.
The other highlight was the local bishop trying to get us to allow 'only 15' of them to come and lay their flowers. Insert your own bishop bashing joke here.
