Please read thunders other posts re: march for England, Brighton isn't some place where everyone is born antifascist, the strong opposition in Brighton is from years of dedicated organising, this is how the MFE was defeated in its final few marches, he is argueing against the very attitude your displaying "ah sure it'll be grand, everyone in Brighton Hates them"
It's this attitude that has the EDL still the largest far right group in the country while a lot of the liberal left are wiping their hands, thinking "that's the end if that" , or these fucking edl news type websites saying " the edl only managed a pathetic 600 in x town today", 600 is a lot of fuckin people!

You've got me wrong there and I don't doubt it was due to years of hard work and ongoing work. Have been discussing just this today with more experienced people about what works

I don't understand why LBC saw fit to give this bigot any airtime at all let alone 25 minutes of it to pontificate live on air.

I'm not sure, but I'd guess this was a late night phone-in. But I agree, no one should give this dangerous loon airtime.
 
Mixed feelings about this - from soundings taken Brighton was going to get ready for them. Now they've swerved that and will be heading to towns where they are more likely to have successful demos. Anti-fascism is in a bit of a piss-poor state right now - the UAF has virtually folded and groups like the AFN aren't filling that vacuum. Online mockers like SLATEDL give people the impression that the EDL have collapsed when they haven't and often make us look like a bunch of snobs into the bargain.

tbh i don't think the uaf's been more than a puffed up paper bag for a very long time anyway.

I always end up in this position, I'm not UAF in the slightest but I end up defending them. As an organisation they until relatively recently consistently counter-mobilised to every EDL demo - something other anti-fascists were not able to do. There are huge problems with the way they behave - the centralisation, the police liaison, the caution when it came to direct action but they were there. Their collapse has left a vacuum that means that racists get to march down the street unimpeded.
 
Anti fascist locals have taken up the mantle - & they really don't get to march around unimpeded (other than when protected by filth). And I'm sure locals will travel to Oxford in support.
 
Yorkshire (Sheffield anti fascist network) were out in numbers. What the fuck can you do when out numbered by filth protecting these cunts?
