EDL watch

latest word is that after seeking police permission to march and having trains and a police escort laid on for them, National Action still couldn't bring themselves to come back to Liverpool.
 
they are leaderless and have nothing to say. protesting 'muslim pedos' when there are now court cases ongoing is a bit pointless and also the mass expose of white nonces makes their weak arguments weaker.

Yesterday saw the rump end of the English Defence League wander through Aylesbury closely protected by Thames Valley Police. With less them 100 of them turning up, it looked like they had more flags than members. The EDL is dwindling away and the situation is very different to the last time they came to Aylesbury in 2010 when almost 1,000 people joined their demo. The couple of small groups of EDL that were milling around in the town centre in the morning were noticeably less confident and beat a hasty retreat at the sight of anti-fascists, saving the usual chants of ‘smash the reds’ and ‘come on then’ until they were safely behind police lines. They know they are a spent force.​

The AFN and UAF assembled a counter-demo of around 150 but we were penned in by large numbers of police when the EDL drew near, allowing them to march their planned route right through Aylesbury’s main shopping area. The EDL have now reached a stage where they can only march when protected by massive police deployment. It is more important than ever for anti-fascists to show opposition to the EDL, as marching unopposed will only embolden them to carry out racist attacks on the people of Aylesbury and other towns. We had great support from locals turning out to join the counter-demo and then hanging around with the AFN afterwards to give the EDL a rousing send-off and make sure they left town. Lots of positive chants from our side: refugees are welcome here, racists are not!​
 
A turn out of eighty in Bradford yesterday, massively outnumbered by the coppers. The weather was very wet, but I can remember the days, not that long ago, when an EDL demo in the city would mean the city centre would practically be locked down and shops would board their windows. You'd have to know where it was taking place to have noticed it yesterday.

Various far-right splinter groups claiming to have disrupted a UAF 'Refugees Welcome' demo in Newcastle today. They say they occupied the demo point. Any northern comrades shed any light on this?
 
i was in newcastle shopping with the kids. i saw a group of about ten fash being surrounded by cops about thirty yards round the corner from the Monument and it was way before the actual march/rally happened. we walked by monument again when the rally was on, no sign of any fash/edl that i could see. hth
