EDL watch

[Nice one]

Tommy says sorry.

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/oct/11/edl-tommy-robinson-sorry-fear-muslims

fully grassing up mode:
Robinson, 30, who this week dramatically quit as leader of the extreme rightwing group known for thuggish street protests and openly racist followers, also said he would now talk to police to help them investigate dangerous racists in the organisation.

this bit

Nawaz said he would work to introduce Robinson to his own contacts in government and the Home Office in an attempt to procure government funding. Robinson said his future work would involve taking on radicalism on all fronts, although he could not support anti-fascist groups because they also subscribed to "communism" or were "anarchists".

Interesting bit of brand positioning there.A government platform for his anti-left scabbing veiws

Broken link.

like searchlight with AFA, he will be 'monitoring' extremes from left and right. as far as his former eejit followers are concerned, that is grassing. he has a lot of info on people (and certain people have info on him). as for anti-fascists, he has always been a fuckbugle.

 

[malatesta32]

intersting that both robinson and the salma yaqoob acknowledge 'strong' and effective antifascist organisation and opposition to the EDL as working.

and also trying to link with zionists and failing.

rumours that EDL, NF and C18 members clash in bradford over who is the more irrelevant!

 

[disco_dave_2000]

Only a couple of fash scouts about in Liverpool this afternoon - about 7000 marchers at the Unite organised march and rally

Bradford:

 

[butchersapron]

So, the many thousands of pounds made last night by the beloved of some English disco lovers, where's it gone? Any local groups see a penny of it? Yeah right.

 

[malatesta32]

casuals reckoned they and the rovers 'firm' (jeezus!) were going to attack the disco bods, any info butchers? also shit turnout and infighting at bradford, no show in liverpool.

 

[butchersapron]

Yes, nothing happened. Nothing was ever going to happen. Some people shouted at some people in a shop seven hours earlier. That's it. Where is the English disco lovers money gone though?

 

[malatesta32]

another 'victory' for the hardly visible casuals then. i dont know about the discos or their money. will check further. Ta!

 

[butchersapron]

Entrepreneurial parasites.

Entrepreneurial parasites.

Not surprising, if you look at the EDL News group which they are associated with the main complaint about the EDL seems to be that they are poor and inferior to superior hard working plucky Poles

 

[malatesta32]

just for the record, the discos are NOT associated with EDL news. also, what was the disco's money raising thing for?

For their own pocket it looks like.

 

[malatesta32]

ta, shall check further.

 

[Corax]

I've taken the radical step of asking them. Shall report back with any reply.

 

[krink]

What wanker wrote that? Bloody hell, where did you dig that up from?

here's another bit on that - schnews endorsed it, tweeted it and responded to criticism with an attempt to smear anti-fascists. I've read schnews since the very start and expected better to be honest.

Bill Oddie-a-like John Banks gets himself lifted for gobbing off as usual

If that was presented to me with all political context removed, I'd be bang on his side in that exchange tbh...

The point is though that there is obviously a deliberate political context involved. They want to ban the burkha and hijab, and OB does have the power to order the removal of face covering, as they do with anarchists on protests. I doubt that he would oppose the OB telling the black block to remove masks.
tbh I don't know why OB hasn't nicked edl members for wearing their facemasks and balaclavas.

Of course he wouldn't. But if it was black bloc arguing with the copper about it - and the police refusing/unable to give a proper reason why, and instead just quoting the section that gave them authorisation for the demand - then I know which side of the fence my reaction would fall on.

tbf.. everybody is entitled to a little bit more of an explanation than 'Cos I said so'.
