EDL watch

Sorry to butt in, but is the March For England demonstration that has been moved from Brighton to Oxford been cancelled?
Apparently organisers (presumably EDL) were talking to police today.

Although the demo is advertised for the 4th April 2015. Is this a sad attempt of a cunning ploy on their part!

Maybe a silly question but do people think it safe to take young children on anti-fascist demos? I know the antis would be peaceful but the fascists and police unpredictable...

My child is a very grown up 8 and I really want to expose her to demos from now...
 
it really depends on the demo imo
some places have events on the same day that are family friendly

Can't think of anything related to antifascism that'd be safer. The only thing is you'll need to do inoculation - explaining why Lutfur Rahman isn't very pleasant (thanking police after they'd kettled 286 antifascists), why one should be wary of Gerry Gable (co-operation with state, see Notes from Borderland) and it may be difficult to explain to an eight year old Martin Smith's role in the UAF haemorrhaging members. Police were hardly visible, no fascists last year - someone even walked through the crowd with a giant Union Jack and the Daily Mail had a stall, with no ire from marchers.
 
With regards to Oxford Red White & Blue. EDL/Fringe Far Right Demo in Oxford; April
This could end up being a major victory for fringe/far right.
UAF apparently are having meeting point in Bond Square; miles from where EDL have routed their march. There seems to be little consideration of defence of mosque etc in Cowley East Oxford.
Is thereany chance of mobilisation to oppose far right for this mobilisation by EDL.
There is limited support amongst elements within Oxford, not necessarily from usual quarters, especially around child abuse/pimping of girls/young women and authorities turning a blind eye to the situation.

AFN have published statement on Facebook !

The UAF march that happened by me was family friendly, there were adults there with their children, they had a big music stand with a (although very untalented) live band on :)

It's not known yet!
There was a rumour that their initial meet up would be similar to that of NF march recently.
Don't really want to discuss such topics on Internet.
However UAF are 'rallying' in Bond Square, so its guaranteed to be miles away from there.
East Oxford is a concern; breakaway groups may head up there.

Britain First attack "Beyond UKIP" meeting.

It's interesting to note they can mobilise in London. Wonder if they'll be present at Oxford or London this Saturday?

Also wonder if National Action had a hand in this? Considering the online threats they made to fulfil Bonehill's demo.

1. Britain First have mobilised in London before, with their stupid "battle bus" or whatever it is and a "mosque invasion"?

2. No - from the video footage it just looks like pissed up north London teenagers. No links have been drawn in the press I have read about it.
