EDL watch

[krink]

Yes Mal, I was reading shitfront last night and there's a few on there who reckon NA are either honeypot or bogey-man/cash-cow. If they are real, they're going to get a knock very soon.

 

[Citizen66]

Lol, they think they're Anonymous.

Got some coverage in the Mirror today. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/exposed-rise-hitler-loving-national-action-3659759

Out of curiosity I had a look at the authors - a Sunday Mirror senior reporter, a reporter, and this chap:

Colin Cortbus

Former member of UKIP, who left when he had seen enough of their hurtful politics of shouting loudest. Now a student and anti-extremism campaigner. Radical liberal, eurosceptic and secularist. Have worked to expose Hizb-ut-Tahrir, UKIP, EDL extremists ect. Fellow of Stand for Peace, leading interfaith organisation tackling extremism of all kinds.

[malatesta32]

[seventh bullet]

A look at their puddle-deep 'strategy document' has a section on making their 'movement' attractive to youth called marketing.

 

[malatesta32]

yeah it reads like a failed business undergraduates 'monetising' of the far right and making it 'cool' and 'teen friendly'' when in fact, he is just a shitbiscuit.

There was a failed attempt to intimidate people attending the Teesside Solidarity Movement last night (by edl/northeast infidels). They didn't make it out of the pub.

Keep an eye on the TSM facebook page for details of counter manoeuvres (specifics nearer the time).

And now some are off to Calais to batter some migrants.

Depends how you'd define that - SEA definitely didn't achieve the aims of their demonstration, but they occupied the Beaten Docket afterwards while most of their opponents dispersed. One protester was arrested outside the pub confronting them there (reportedly for breach of bail conditions) and as far as I know is being held overnight.

I know quite a few of the protesters went to the UAF meeting, but premature declarations of victory are pernicious at these events.

They didn't occupy the Docket. I went in there for a few hours straight afterwards. They shut the doors for a while after there was some aggro between a small group out the front and some anti's. Tbh I'm not sure they were fash just symp England fans.

they must either like the food or secretly hang out with all them muslamics that 'run prison.'

 

[Citizen66]

Stuff like this always causes me brain farts. As an anarchist, I'm against the state. So I can't rejoice in any action the state takes against the individual, no matter how odious. Given it's the state that produces these people. So saying 'haha, we all knew all along you were a cunt' may be true, the whole inevitability of it doesn't sit comfortably with me. Or maybe all those black men in US correctional facilities really were born cunts.

 

[malatesta32]

you obviously dont know the story. they were released early on the proviso they cant knock about with their far right cronies. on release, cue cheap drugs, crap lager and sieg heiling with their far right cronies which they then posted on facebook thinking they are somehow immune from their conditions and then ...
and comparison of UK to USA jail system is erroneous.

 

[Citizen66]

I guess you're not an anarchist.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

At least we're all cut from the same cloth, when we'd agree that what these far right cunts really deserve, is a good hoofing.

Mal, I don't doubt your anti- fascism intent; but hope you realise that those who we are after for our side are precisely those who the fash currently find easier to attract, and many of theirs ended up as staunch anti fascists...but it is the condition of the working classes, that cheap drugs and crap lager are a staple..in fact, often means a good weekend.
sometimes your comments come across as sneering, giving the oppo confirmation to their recruits that all lefties are middle class who don't live your life and who look down on your culture.

those on EDL marches aren't there because they've had a few cans of crap lager.

 

[DotCommunist]

i challenge anyone to go on a TUC march and remain sober while listening to shithouse union leaders and lauborite liars.

 

[malatesta32]

i think the point was their arrogance and stupidity rather than their drugs of choice. Mik, the problems that the EDL have had with membership retention is exactly that 'those on EDL marches aren't there because they've had a few cans of crap lager.' those who were put back inside are 'Adolf Hitler-loving "14 words nazis" the "BRITISH INFIDELS" [who] are helping organise the Islamophobic anti-mosque march in Bolton this Saturday, as hardcore nazi groups fill the void.' these fuckbugles attacked what they thought were antifascist musicians. fuck em (sneaks off for a line o' cheap wizz and a wee bottle o' bucky).
