EDL watch

also, some of the more experienced AFA members on here cd give really helpful advice on stewarding gigs to distribute around various websites etc. it only takes half a dozen serous looking characters on the door to rebuff twice as many.
you don't need to have been in the auld stewards' group to know that having *some* security will deter. yet even this simple observation seems beyond the grasp of some of our swappie 'brethren'.
 
that thing in ipswich - i heard that it was the cops who told the pub to pull the gig. so the cops are intimidated by ipswich edl.

Gerry Gable has a go at AFN and admits to working with cops - enough to get afn comrades nicked? this combined with the rumour that uaf knew the mass arrest was planned..:hmm:

Sometime before 7 September we had word that a small anti-fascist faction would try to kick things off. This group did not take part in any of the planning meetings, although I am sure they would have been allowed a representative on our steering group, but chose to do their own thing. Our attitude was that the police plan was in the best interests of the community and that if this faction broke away, they would only end up getting kettled.

At the park they stood with a large banner at the back before pulling out, but unlike in 2011 nobody really wanted to give them political house room. Fewer than 400 rushed off, were kettled and served with section 12 and 14 notices. They have apparently been banned from attending any EDL gatherings.
 
A bubble for my spirit level?

very neat dave! regarding the mass arrest, when we got to the park after mooching around we saw that plod had effectively sealed the area off and as we nicked off to avoid being mass kettled we walked down to the blind beggar and past a line of plod. one of our mob said that they were 'gonna close the door.' too bleeidin' right they were. they had to kettle to black bloc who were out of that zone and then contain the park.
 
from gerry!
