EDL watch

It is likely that NF and infidels were involved as they dominate the far right in the NE. EDL are involved in a rather amusing spat about missing funds and are spread pretty thinly on round the country. oh, and pickmans, re: ju-ju's, I meant something else but I can't remember what it is.
 
i wouldn't say anyone really dominates the far right in the north east, they all turn up at each other's events anyway*. the edl in north east was until recently ran by ex bnp (alan spence one of those jailed along with his son). the edl have also been harrassing the rcg's street stalls for quite a while (including the nobheads from teesside edl Wilf ).

* the exception being the NF factions avoiding each other like the plague.
 
The far-right have certainly attacked or had a go at attacking lefty stuff down here in Brighton, a meeting on multiculturalism, a book launch, threats to Occupy etc - just not under the EDL banner.

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.

Not 100% sure. They weren't there when I arrived, though the old bill were, but it was announced in the meeting that 'the edl are outside'. Suspect they were infidels as they had a similar go at intimidation when we organising against an edl march last year.

By the by, whilst I'm not that fussed about labels, Teesside Solidarity isn't really leftist. It's an intentionally boad based anti-cuts/solidarity movement, with afew trots/liberals certainly, but its way of working has shifted in an anarcho direction over the last year or so. Hardly any swp presence. Usual tensions, as with any group, but the focus is pretty much hands on solidarity.
 
That's a very interesting report - the brand stuff at the end esp. That's exactly what we encountered down here on the day after lee rigby was killd and they had a big march from kingswood though what they see as leftie areas into town - pure class hatred diverted into bollocks.
 
My feeling is that the journo had hoped that Pitt's crew were going to turn into something bigger over the course of the year and that he'd have a real story to tell. Instead he was reduced to throwing dark hints about secret militias. Almost feel sorry for him but he made a massive dick of himself when he threw his toys out of the pram after being told he couldn't film inside a STOP MFE public meeting.

It really bugged me that none of the right wingers were asked - Why Brighton?
 
Viewing Tommy Robinson's Twitter, he is clearly preparing the ground for a re-launch, his Oxford Union speech is getting thousands of views a day and many posters seem to be saying they now "think he was right" and they want him to "step up to the plate", as he surely will when court restrictions are lifted from him in a few months. he seems to be really stirring things up but also learnt to be more 'professional'

btw, no shooting the messenger,

Oh, and EDL News still doesn't get it, "balding middle aged angry men" could be describing plenty on here!

Tommy might well step back up - maybe with another vehicle. However he's not the political genius in exile that the HnH brigade are depicting him as. If we take it as read that he was the leader of the EDL then even before his mortage fraud problems it was clear that the organisation was struggling for ideas at the same time as the opposition were (very slowly) getting more organised.
 
yeah, proper sickos
their #tag don't work!
"Lion of Allah" is a bit wtf too

the guy is a neo-nazi, photos of him with swastika flag knocking about. total psycho and released a nutty video a couple of hours before the attack. the victim just some poor bloke at the shops. glad he's alive though.
