EDL watch

EDL rally was about a mile away from static counter-demo. One antifa group broke off from the static demo and were kettled, another got a few metres off and were corralled out of the area by police. Jubilant group of EDL go on to chant "Muslim paedos off our streets" on a train to King's Cross before attacking an elderly fellow.

I'm hoping EDL aren't bolstered by the relative lack of opposition. Would be good to see more out next demo.

Don't really understand why so few were out in Bury Park. I've been there a few time to counter the EDL and last time (2012?) the whole of Dunstable RD was rammed with the locals. Really piss-poor UAF turn out with Weyman floundering around trying to look important.

UAF have not being able to mobilize to any great extent for over a year, they have transferred alot of resouces into "Stand up to racism /UKIP", they are definitaly suffering from the SWP fallout. On top of this people do not view the EDL as the treat they once were, once Tommy left, their numbers have been consistently at around 3-400 for their national demos, alot of people think "so what". Mobilising 400 people to random places in the country is still quite an achievement, and their are still by far the biggest and most active group on the far right.
They dont have any direction politically, they couldn't maintain the capital they made from Rigby, were unable to capitalise on Rotherham, their right flank has being pretty exposed and numerous splits have taken away alot of "members", what they do have is a very dedicate cadre, and I reckon they could limp on like this for years.
 
in rotherham, supposedly in support of the hundreds of victims, the EDL ended up brawling with the NF and other assorted fuckbuckles. factionalism is rife amongst their ranks.

Casuals now claiming that not all those up for the MFE punch up are theirs (i.e nationalists). It could be because having the addresses out there has put the wind up 'em or it could be that some of those charged are anti fascists so maybe less of the gloating for a while.

The "casuals" (super dry jackets and Nike tracksuit bottoms don't look too casual to me) consist of 6 to 8 people, some overlap with other groups, they are more a Facebook page than a group
 
as Red says, the casuals are nothing but a facebook group.they were started by jeffrey 'chubs' marsh, an ageing sad hooligan who was jailed for stabbing someone, then went on to produce a couple of very shit books on hooliganism. he was followed by 2 girls and a couple of gluesniffing losers. he turned up in brighton to 'have it' with antifa and ended cowering in a toilet to prevent getting battered. he had links with EDL but fell out with them and linked up with MfE. an absolute nobody.
 
They are a little bit more than a Facebook group. Not much more, but they're a loose network of some of the EDL splinter group hardcore. They're a flag of convenience as much as anything.
 
He was reported to be dead, then living in Spain, really he was in Cardiff or Barry or who the fuck cares where.
 
Yeah the sad twat tried to fake his own death on social media and was roundly laughed at, then he moved to spain. The rest just gob off on the internet and have been largely quiet since their chief Facebook gobshite got outed recently.
 
been away so not caught up on this yet but a bunch more are getting sentenced monday. the judge apparently fucked it up or something yesterday and they all chose to be remanded till sentencing. why, i do not know unless they are particularly fond of those weird microwaved breakfasts they give you in the cells. as for the last link the guy who has 89 convictions and 8 sentences is seriously institutionalised.
