EDL watch

Think this'll also stoke up the Pegida lot won't it? Hate feeding off hate everywhere. Fuck this century.

It renders my handywork obsolete. :(
 
Is a 'fair-weather anti-fascist' someone who refuses to get out of bed to oppose an almost-defunct group on a drizzly Saturday morning?

Is it a last chance? Are they defunct? To be honest they didn't manage to make much of Rotherham (many of us feared another post Lee Rigby style upswing) so this might not re-ignite the EDL per se. However a successor organisation could make hay here.

I made that comment ages ago so it bears little relation to the events of today.
 
T/R seems to have declared war on the left going by his tweets as well, they are hyperbolic..

though the woman founder of 'Free Gaza' saying it was Mossad doesn't help..
 
he is trying to capitlaise on charlie hebdo situation. bloodsucking egomaniac who misses the limelight. also the money. ayling was exposed as being behind EDL which embarrassed him as did his links with 'zionist' groups and pam geller etc.he backed out. not sure if quilliam are using him still.

I believe himself and Qulliam parted company before his last spell in the nick.
 
yeah, his criminal record has often compromised him. he was booted from the fluffy fascist British Freedom over it and his failure to bring the EDL vote over as well as quilliam. we will see how UKIP respond. he is a career criminal and bad political juju.
 
Robinson is finished politically - he was sentenced for mortgage fraud so hasn't really got any martyr points. However his "leadership" of the EDL was to the advantage of anti-fascists. More worrying is somebody (who isn't a coke addled wide boy ) pulling together the strands that made up the far-right's street presence and re-invigorating the movement. It might not happen - Paul Golding now looks like a bungler and Griffin even got booted out of the BNP. However the EDL was a formative experience for many and while they might not be making the effort to travel to the demos - given the right call they might well re-appear.

don't see what it has to do with the jujus :(
 
I was at a joint Teesside Solidarity/Movement for Justice meeting tonight which the edl tried to disrupt. After one ineffectual attempt at getting in the building, they stood uncertainly in the street, poised between going back to the pub and remembering what they'd turned up to do. :D
 
Is this a regular feature of leftist life in Teesside?
Dunno, I'd have to check with the leftists. ;) But yes, there's been a couple of attempts at intimidating people going into meetings. Poice were there last night (not called by us), so it ended up being nothing more than the aforementioned 'standing in the road'.
 
so by opposing a movement for justice meeting we can assume that they are happy with the justice system that jails them for several years for the birmingham riot. not unlike when the infidel scab group tried to attack an anti-cuts demo in manchester so they must be happy with the cuts. Eejits.
 
Tbh - I'd rather they were having a pop at lefty meetings (if they're adequately defended of course) and generally being anti-left rather than us having to deal with some anti-immigration anti-austerity Strasserism.

Out of interest - which particular flavour of fash was it? NF, EDL or Infidels. The EDL actually haven't done much targetting of the left before now.

Movement for Justice does tend to focus on anti-racism and pro-immigration issues rather than justice reform in toto. I don't think the types of groups discussed in this thread would come up with a coherent critique of the justice system (perhaps other than arguing for the reinstatement of corporal and capital punishment, banning protests outside soldiers' return events, rescinding incitement legislation, repatriation...), though the BNP did have an online campaign arguing that the police were biased against them.

they have up here in north east since day one. the rhetoric is always 'muslims' but their activities are always 'get the lefties'. some have been jailed for this stuff etc...
