the stalking embarrassment to differentiate it from the 1001 other tr embarrassments?

He's gonna help Quilliam root out extremism by taking pictures of Islamists' post.

 

[Delroy Booth]

That's interesting.

Supposed to be an EDL demo of some kind in Bradford this weekend, wonder if that's still on?

 

[malatesta32]

expect a flood of these on Ebay very soon:

whats for taking in Stokes Croft these days? a nice latte?

 

[butchersapron]

Piece of crappy artwork for a few grand. They need the wetherspoons back to bring the the tone back up.

 

[Delroy Booth]

Is there any doubt now that Tommy Robinson is basically just a snitch?

Quilliam's pretty much part of the establishment, isn't it? Like Chatham House is?

'Craft ale' wankpit The Crofter's Rights ( ) recently lost its booze licence for nearly two weeks under obscure anti-hipster bye-laws (or possibly through the actions of The Ghost of The Brewhouse) (or more likely the inability to properly organise a piss-up in a pub).

However, they are now allowing you to BYO.

Lucky us!

ETA:

If I'd wanted to wait ages to not get served a beer in an overpriced, irritatingly decorated, poorly-run Stokes Croft bar I'd probably stick to The Bank of SC. More fun banging into tables with a pram there.

 

[butchersapron]

Come sit in our pub and drink your own beer. Tbf they do say they have some free drink during this difficult period.

Strictly limited quantities of free beer - even their booze comes with a guestlist.

(Getting pretty OT here, but i remember back when pubs were pubs and people could afford to go out that operated as a) Bell over-spill and b) 6 quick pints before the tropic. Was very brassily done out at that time, no idea what it's like now)

 

[Dogsauce]

What incarnation is the Tropic Club on now? I bet it still smells the same, minus the tobacco and smoke machine odours.

 

[Dogsauce]

TR will probably get a few quid for his inevitable Question Time appearance, won't he?

It went Tropic > Club Loco > Maze > shut.

I favoured the CL years - a delightful techno deathtrap building with a tea-and-toastie room

'Bristol treasure' Big Jeff on Stokes Croft (not a fan of the pre-Croft days):

...But, go back about a decade or so, and the area was very much a different place. It wasn’t so much colorful as it was dark and grimy – the kind of place where you wouldn’t want to be after dark.

It is amazing to see how much the area has changed and largely because somewhere like The Croft has offered up a sense of hope. I remember going there for the very first time back in 2002, before it was established as a proper music venue. It used to be called The Comedy Pub...

Actually, Jeff, it was a place many people wanted to be after dark!

(Back-on-topic points aplenty, thanks to Big Jeff's housemate being an EDL donor.)

Cool, meant the bank though!

Kronstadt Klub was my era at the Tropic, plus an assortment of gigs (Nik Turner's Fantastic All Stars being a particularly memorable one). All that other shit happened after I upped sticks for the north. I'm just (only just) about old enough to remember the Western Star Domino Club which was nearby too, flattened for a road project in the late 80s.

Kclub was fantastic - where have all the crusties gone though? Always remember mark stewart just there at everything, lurking and being really tall.

Is this Tommy Robinson retiring decison going to mean the end of this thread?

this is the edl watch thread, not the tommy robinson / stephen yaxley-lennnon memorial thread.

Who funds Quillam?

They were receiving state cash as part of new Labour's drive to encourage "dialogue" (i.e. anti-Islamism) in Muslim communities. They may still be doing so under the coalition, although a lot of that got deep-sixed by "austerity" cuts.

Owen Jones comment,

its feasible, its happened before, plenty of times, though who knows.

The few genuine transitions from the hard right to the left that I've seen, have generally been a bit more involved than what Robinson appears to have undergone, so while it's "feasible", I strongly doubt that in Yaks-meat Lemon's case it is genuine.
