EDL watch

[jimmer]

50 EDL? are you sure? malatesta blog, EDL news and hope not hate where there taking photos and there was not 100 of them. there were 20 in wetherspoons, none of the faces, and then quite a lot of hangers on, local guys and guys with shaved heads and footy tops on as there wd be in woolwich on any saturday. the UAF had pointlessly marched from marble arch to whitechapel then called the day a success. our group saw 20 odd black bloc in the area. it was not the time and place for mass mobilisation.

I had several reports from people in Woolwich at the time, one said 20 but the rest said 50. When I got to Woolwich after the flowers had been put outside the barracks and the main group was back in the Wetherspoons the area was still crawling with the far-right. There's not much point arguing over the exact number of them but I maintain my general point that the day was a success for them and a bad day for anti-fascists.

What I've heard supports what you're saying too. And going back to mal's earlier point about the site of the murder, what happened was that they marched straight past that (possibly didn't even know *exactly* where it was) further up the hill to the barracks entrance.

If you see things in terms of fash v anti fash, I suppose you're right to say that the EDL got their way in terms of doing what they wanted to do. They weren't overtly opposed by anti-fash and there weren't any incidents of note. However, I don't think it was a bad day for anti-fascists. There were enough there to make their presence felt; and as far as the locals were concerned there was no disruption/kicking off and they could get on with normal shopping and stuff even though there were too many OB around for people to feel entirely comfortable *not our friends*.

It depends what you think anti-fascism should be achieving. I think fascism should be opposed of course, but I'm not sure that a huge kicking off/pushing and shoving, arresting, disruption to the locals - purely to stop the EDL walking up the bloody hill to lay a few flowers would have achieved much. Woolwich has had the far right around for much longer than the EDL, I don't think the EDL have had much impact (as a result of Saturday).

Still works for me (not that i've watched it much recently)

I was going to try and do a 'funny' remix of it like all the kids are doing these days, but when I went through and got all the relevant bits of the video out to use it was ten times more funnier than anything I could ever do just playing them in the order they came in.

So here it is - not one clip has been used more than once and it's all in chronological order

I/m going to go out on a limb here...were they saying they were on a charity walk?

That's just speculation. You may be right, but they made no mention of it that I can see.

OMG........ And how are they defending England exactly?
(Actually England is probably more defended if they are getting bladdered on the Costa's)

Mind you there aint no muslamics in Spain like, cos its miles from any muslamic countries.

Maybe they are defending Gibraltar....... they could go for a walk there......... for cheriddy

Look, can we put an end to this, please?

For the past week I have been on public transport, during rush hour, giggling to myself at the words "charity walk" going round and round in my head.
