EDL watch

[Citizen66]

How many pages is this thread now? It's bizarre how we have to keep re-visiting that point.

A 15 year old made a 'master-race' joke FFS. I thought it was funny. That's all. I've got a paunch and chipped teeth myself FTR.

im not specifically having a go at you but this topic keeps on coming up, its a wider problem than urban as well.

It's her not you. Classy.

Fair enough.

 

[Citizen66]

All this because a fifteen year-old girl mentioned missing teeth.* Get a grip, people.

*I've had a broken front tooth for 20 years. Makes me look vaguely untrustworthy, so I'm told.

Yeah but you've been here less than a day so who gives a shit what you think?

 

[frogwoman]

Fair enough.

seriously, have a look at some of the "expose the edl" and "still laughing at the edl" facebook groups if you think this stuff isn't a problem.

Sexism and class prejudice to fight racism.

I've seen them - and agree.

9p. Blimey.

Looking at other covers it was only 8p in January of that year, 1978, but I doubt the Mustapha Million strip explored the reasons for inflation or tried to blame petrodollars and the price of oil.

One of the admins for SLATUKIP and SLATEDL goes to my uni. Anyway, the problem isn't just that their pages promotes classism and sexism but that if you point that out and ask that they don't then they accuse you of supporting the EDL or being a racist.

 

[cdg]

No paunch here. Just turned 50 but could pass for 34. 30 on a good day.

Fuck off and die you cunt.

Yeah I know.

For fuck's sake.

It's daft, but it's only the flip-side of what the far-right say about UAF types: soap dodgers, ugly dykes, unwashed muppets etc.

Anyway, the middle class have more than their fair share of ugly bastards. Some of them will be in the EDL and the BNP, pretending to be working class.

You insinuated earlier in this thread that you share those opinions.

 

[cdg]

You didn't say both EDL and UAF could do to clean themselves up? You comer across as quite judgemental(not bigoted though) to me. I've already quoted you earlier in the thread but I could go and quote it again just to jog your memory if you want.

 

[cdg]

No I didn't. I said that the EDL looked a pretty ugly bunch to me. I also said that I didn't care about it, nor about anybody else's appearance really. It has no bearing on your politics.

Anyway, how can you care when, basically, the whole of Britain, with it's deranged cult of 'body art' and junk food body style, is pretty ugly. Right across the class divide. Friday night in a pub round here, it was like the fucking chamber of horrors.

Fuck off and die you cunt.

 

[Citizen66]

Sorry, I didn't know the senior boys had priority.

Where did I say that? You're coming out with some of the usual dismissive bollocks that we hear from posters who have been here for years. Why not carve a bit of originality instead of jumping in someone else's pants?

If the far right want to make non political arguments about the opposition that's their perogative. Pisses me off when supposed left wingers do it because they're supposed to be fighting prejudice which kind of places it as a weapon off bounds.

 

[cdg]

I am judgemental. It's a better way to be.

How so?

 

[cdg]

Things and events and attitudes are annoying, absolutely. How people look however are not, why would they be?

 

[DotCommunist]

its amusing how often the drink thing comes up, pretty sure I have mentioned it myself. Whereas all lefties are tetollars who never touched a drop? nah. I'm no veteran of marches but I do feel the need for some fosters-led lubrication when on one!

theres corage and then theres courage. 8 tins of diamond white is not appropriate but a few tins of something that does not make a raging dickhead out of you is just standard right?

 

[DotCommunist]

thats small beer. You can't go chuffing supers when out and about, you shall come to mischief

 

[J Ed]

From yesterday

 

[butchersapron]

Wouldn't worry about it. Are you on top of who he is

It can be a nice way of getting to know people as well. Every protest I've been on I've just turned up on my tod, rather than as part of a group or an organisation. Despite being in amongst hundreds of people on the same side, that can be a bit of a lonely and intimidating place - especially given the understandable caution a lot of people have about infiltrators and agents provocateur. Being able to offer a can of something to whoever's alongside you at the time can be a bit of an icebreaker, a way of striking up a conversation.

 

[J Ed]

No. Although I noticed quite a few BNP faces on the march, Jack Buckby was there for example.

Taxi!!!

hardcore entry - buy a can. Impossible hurdle.

You needs to get a skill set update.Wait a bit.

also, later on you might be able to bounce one off a coppers head.
