[rekil]

if anyone can think of any improvements/stuff that's plain wrong in that piece let me know btw.

Some more tags wouldn't hurt.

Another point that *really* bothers me about EDL News, SlatEDL and SlatUKIP is their constant cheerleading for the European Union. They use the typical cunt's trick of Europhile neoliberals of conflating criticism of Brussels' authoritarian neoliberalism with xenophobia and racism as if objections to Brussels' undemocratic impositions of austerity are actually a manifestation of some sort of deep seated hatred of forrins.

Funnily enough, in all my time partaking of those places I don't recall any EU cheerleading. Just saying.

When PG Wodehouse satarised fascism via Rodney Spode, part of the aristo set, was that thinly veiled class prejudice?

No. It was prejudice against stupid narrow minded bigotry. Satire has had a strong grounding in all political spheres for thousands of years. Class is not the issue. Stupidity and bigotry are.

Any assumption of a causal link between bigotry/stupidity and class would be highly dubious. No need to project that assumption onto others.

The EDL have attacked unions and Occupys. They are the class enemy.

Again, just saying.

 

[butchersapron]

Satire? This drivel you write and that these people post in their comments -you think that's satire? You're an idiot.

P.g Wodehouse was put up in a posh hotel during the war by the real nazis btw in return for broadcasting for them.

That's his nonsense? I saw it bandied about a bit on EDL News, not good.

 

[frogwoman]

that isn't funny at all and reads a bit like he's taking the piss out of people with learning difficulties.

 

[DotCommunist]

nice use of eye-offending colours as well. Is that supposed to be...is it...I dunno

 

[frogwoman]

once more helo patriots who love england for ever!!

this peice is about a big thing i learned early too make other ENGLISH people WAKE UP and be patriot to!

try not to say open about race theese days people think your so called “racist” if you do


in sted say about heratige and culture to make people think nice things and that your clever wile realy it can mean same thing as being white the way we use it
also say lots about white working class as lots will think yes!! i am working class!! this patriot knows about me so patriots must be good and now i will be one give me flyer please for next demo and how can i hate muslims more!!

 

[frogwoman]

so working class dont matter that much and realy is boring things like evil marx and trade unions that we hate but I think someone said its called tool of returic
some one out of history divison said things like all this had helped get power in past like about 80 years ago but that was lot of detale on names and my logic division work and bits of the ology divison are maybe to much even for my brane by them selfs without all thoose dates names ect
also if you say white working class people will think oh good not like midle class people who look down nose at acents or if you dont know about bits of a simfony or diferent wine or some thing

Genius.

 

[frogwoman]

You're a fucking idiot. There's really nothing more to say.

I can't see anything on EDL news any more but someone on my feed has just posted to their group, giving them the heads up that their twatter account is putting out spam (looks like a spammer has hacked them - great security there!).

Here's his post:

The EDL News Extra twitter account is putting out spam tweets.

For reasons best known to themselves Edinburgh City Council have decided to grant the SDL permission to march down the Royal Mile in the middle of the Festival. They've previously refused them so they've had to be satisfied with static demos. Fuck knows why they've granted permission for this. Some people I know who live in a council flat on the lower section of the Royal Mile are raging about it.

fuck that

It's not even funny.

The 'satire' I mean.

You're a massive twat, taffboy.

You're my enemy.

 

[malatesta32]

so croydon, woolwich or glasgow? who is going to go and tell everyone how to 'do antifascism' properly?

 

[Citizen66]

It's just revealing about the author's views of how he thinks the working class view the world and how they would express it.

 

[Citizen66]

who is going to go and tell everyone how to 'do antifascism' properly?

You mean politically rather than class prejudice dressed up as anti-racism?

Taffboy wrote that?

 

[butchersapron]

Taffboy wrote that?

Yep, and he does a similarly bad one for UKIP as well.

I'm not sure you've got the geography clear about the first two.

My point is that they're joined up.

 

[Citizen66]

What useful function does all the classist and sexist bollocks serve for the anti-fascist cause other than making people who *might* be attracted to groups like the EDL but may also be argued out of it becoming convinced that anti-fascists are middle class pricks that they have nothing in common with?

 

[Citizen66]

The EDL were confronted in Boro recently when they planned on picking off 'UAF' who would be attending a HnH meeting which subsequently got cancelled. The report I got back was that they seemed confused and didn't know who to blame. Imagine if the drips of EDLNews approached them banging on about the state of their teeth and spelling abilities. But there's the rub. You won't get people like Taffboy approaching the EDL and attempting dialogue. It's just snidey classist crap from the safety of his suburban semi.

 

[Jeremy Vile]

So this might seem like a stupid question but how would someone go about getting an article like frogwoman's or Stop Laughing at the EDL in the Graunid or the Indie or some other paper? Is that sort of thing even possible?

So whose going to pull HnH for refering to a cypriot EDL'er as Stavros. It's hypocritical to use racial stereotyping whilst campaigning against, errr racial stereotyping in my book. And to attack them for being "thick" is as equally offensive. The reason they attend or support EDL events is because they need educating, not attacked for their lack of it. Smug know-it-all "lefties" who like to impose their intellect on their lessers is not the fundamental base of working class ideology that i would align to. Ironically i will probably get shouted down on here now by people using long words that i do not understand the meaning of. Poor old working class scum that iam.
