EDL watch

[Limerick Red]

Best quote from the 'anti-fascists' thus far, "If I feel like setting a Chav on fire I will. Nobodies going to tell me shit."

ALERTA! ALERTA! ANTICHAVISTA!

 

[butchersapron]

Mal, and the other one who does an edl blog - you going to distance yourself from these people? If so, why? If not, why not?

 

[SpineyNorman]

I think Fingers is, or was, involved in EDL news too. Be interesting to hear taffboy gwyrdd's views on this too but he doesn't come around these parts much any more.

I was also threatened with being banned for asking whether it would be acceptable to write the same thing but replacing 'chav' with a racial slur, so that's me being banned for asking that rather than the actual person talking about setting 'chavs' on fire. Depressing.

 

[SpineyNorman]

I've left the group of my own accord, wish they'd banned me cos then I'd have saved my blood pressure. Never going to get anywhere with them and frankly I've got enough stress in my life without letting those twats wind me up.

 

[SpineyNorman]

I've just tried to log on to facebook and have been suspended for 12 hours. In response to someone telling me the reason why they persisted in insulting me was 'we don't suffer fools gladly' I said, 'your attitude towards Sam [one of the worst ones] suggests to me that you have quite a tolerance for fools'.

Apparently this warrants a 12 hour ban while people posting pictures of a young woman and saying they're going to rape her don't even get taken down.

Oh well, at least I must have got up the horrible cunts' noses.

It's cunts like them that put the working class off left politics.

Mal, and the other one who does an edl blog - you going to distance yourself from these people? If so, why? If not, why not?

for the malatesta stuff, we gather information from lots of people from across the political spectrum - and that includes EDL, exEDL and BNP types. antifascism is always a broad front - from militant AFA style to mainstream journalism. i dont slag off other antifascists if they are doing what they feel able or willing to do but that does not mean i condone the anti-WC snobbery on some sites. all antifascists disagree depending on political bias but one of the interesting things is that EDL etc see all antifascists as 1 and the same and any perceived schism gives em a boost. i HATE arguing with people i MOSTLY agree with, especially on here where so many people have been so helpful (info for articles and stories for the book). so what if there are eejits on facebook talking rubbish, isnt that the point of facebook?
can we try not descend into the usual 'cunts' and insults if you disagree.

 

[butchersapron]

A no then. Ta.

 

[malatesta32]

oh dear.

 

[malatesta32]

this demands more than a 1 word answer butchers.

 

[Ranbay]

Yeah

 

[butchersapron]

Oh dear what? You were asked to do something and you couldn't. Fine. You're not a political operation.

 

[malatesta32]

good night.

 

[SpineyNorman]

good night.

So you're completely unwilling to distance yourself from this foul, prejudiced crap?

Butchers is right - completely apolitical. The Italian ice cream man turns in his grave at the violence you do to his name.

 

[albionism]

Just want to make clear, i was not having a pop at anyone's class or background
in those "toilet" re-mix videos i created, just having a laugh at the EDL not being
allowed the toilet.

You mostly agree with this sort of stuff? It's hardly surprising, as a lot of it finds it way onto your site.

 

[malatesta32]

Mal, and the other one who does an edl blog - you going to distance yourself from these people? If so, why? If not, why not?

i gave you an explanation which does not suffice, if i gave you a 1 word answer that would not suffice either. as i wrote and which neither you or norman read: 'that does not mean i condone the anti-WC snobbery on some sites.'

read it again. dont condone it, dont waste time slagging people off, and thanks for reducing all italians to ice cream vendors. my italian grandad was an engineer.

i do not agree with it. show me one example where i back anti-working class prejudice. i slag EDL off for being drunken hooligans because of their beahviour which we have all witnesed countless times.

It's not that kind of stuff we're talking about mate - your vids were funny as fuck

Thanks for trying to imply that I'm some kind of racist you ignorant prick. Errico Malatesta worked as an ice cream vendor when he was in London. I'd have thought you'd have known that. Usually before taking someone's name it's customary to know a bit about them:

In London, Malatesta worked as an ice cream seller and a mechanic, and participated in the 1872 congress of the International, which gave birth to the Anarchist St. Imier International.

Your 'statement' was meally mouthed nonsense - you should be a Labour MP.

Their prejudices are every bit as bad as those of the EDL - worse in some cases - but you 'won't waste time slagging them off'. Figures.

You're one of them now.

Cunt.

 

[malatesta32]

Mal: can we try not descend into the usual 'cunts' and insults if you disagree.​

Spiney Norman: Cunt.

well done, well argued.

 

[butchersapron]

He's right though - your brand of socially mobile anti-fascism is what allows nice prejudice to breed, it's apolitical parasitism that has as it's only base at least we're not them.

 

[albionism]

It's not that kind of stuff we're talking about mate - your vids were funny as fuck

cheers. Yeah i get fucked off with the "chav" comments and such bollocks as well, being a working class anti-fash with a broad cockney accent myself.

 

[butchersapron]

How long you been down there now if you don't mind me asking? My uncle lived down there for less than two years and it destroyed his broad somerset accent.

 

[SpineyNorman]

well done, well argued.

I know. That's why I called you a cunt.

I did also make arguments but you've chosen to cut those out haven't you?

So you're not only a weasling cunt who throws around false accusations of xenophobia - you're also a dishonest one.

Cunt.

 

[albionism]

How long you been down there now if you don't mind me asking? My uncle lived down there for less than two years and it destroyed his broad somerset accent.

What, Down Under? Nearly seven years and as cockney as ever!

 

[cesare]

Are these comments just on the Facebook page? Is this anti-EDL group stand-alone or is there overlap with the antifascist network?

when i was in sicily last year they had really top ice cream, something i would have been proud to be associated with. much nicer than what you get here. and you could get it in a brioche
