EDL watch

five figure sums payout for antis in Bolton

Solicitor Michael Oswald, acting on their behalf, said: "It is a reflection of the bravery and tenacity of our clients that, more than three years after the attempts made to criminalise their peaceful opposition to the racist EDL, they have by way of these settlements finally been able to achieve the accountability and vindication they have sought."
The three campaigners had launched civil claims for false imprisonment, assault, homophobic abuse and malicious prosecution.

One claimed he was seriously wounded by a police dog used as a weapon by an officer.
Police said several people were convicted of a variety of offences following the rally.

yesterday in south shields was a very mixed bag. first part of the day i felt our little band needed to be much better organised and disciplined but in the end it worked out a canny day. two lads who tried to protect a female photographer ended up getting arrested and the 50 edl who were doing the attacking got pat on the back off cops. some numbnut tried to attack the uaf demo but the demo had just been increased in size by a bunch of locals who gave the wannabe warrior a stern talking to;). typically, the antis were arrested/assaulted by the cops. the policing was so partial it was shocking. edl couldn't do any wrong while local kids were chased, hassled and eventually one of ours got section 27.

numbers i'd say 150 - 200 edl and about 70 uaf. the various groups of locals who were roaming about looking for edl numbered about 30 in total. quite a few nazis on the edl march including NF and BNP and the SDL and NEI who are openly racist and proud. Funny watching some SDL chant you're not english at bemused local shoppers. the locals weren't impressed at all.

there's vids and pics on the internet but i cant be arsed to post links:D

unclear but yesterday at s shields some bellends had a free diddyfiddler slogan on a shit flag. he is no doubt singing like a racist budgie to his handlers. even some of the infidels have been talking about his, err, 'reliability.'
 
he is up for the liverpool assault along with a couple of others who are a wee bit worried. if the little fiddler gets off lightly certain suspicions will be confirmed. he has been done for coke possession as well recently.
 
That Youtube video about the assault won't do him any good if the OB or CPS see it and make it known to the Judge before sentencing.

ps Liverpool Antifascists issued this "Correction: the people who were attacked were not "demonstrators" as this article says: they were a teenage brother and sister and their father who had been to an antifascist benefit gig."
 
there are some pics of saturday in a slide-show here.

right at the end there is a nice picture of the lads we were supporting on saturday. they didn't need physical support as such just the cops were taking libs and we were there making sure we kept the youths in the picture and giving advice/tip-off where the cops were etc. they appreciated it and they were a good laugh. as you can see, it's a mixed race group (as is the norm in south shields) which i bet really made the edl's blood boil.

*the lad in white in cuffs (about 47/50 seconds) is an anti-fash btw.
