Mobilisations developing against attempt to relaunch DFLA with March of assorted fascists, racists & reactionaries in London next weekend:

Any details of the March please?

 

[hitmouse]

Any details of the March please?

Do you mean the counterprotest or the actual DFLA one?
The anti- one is meeting at 11am, Christchurch Gardens:


If you mean the other side, can't see anything on the DFLA facebook page but maybe everything's on telegram and whatsapp now?

Thanks. Yes I was after details of the DFLA demo. If it’s all on telegram it will be smaller probably. Less random blokes carrying ten cans of beer.

I can’t find anything public. A few days to go though.

[TopCat]

Dunno what happened there

 

[hitmouse]

The weekend sounds like it wasn't super big or eventful, but not disastrous:

 

[hitmouse]

Oh, and sounds like the organisers were the "Patriots of Britain".

 

[hitmouse]

This all seems to have sparked off several days of depressing bickering on twitter between the FLAF and LAFA camps, not sure anyone comes out of it particularly well.

Had a look but couldn't see much. Got a link?

That's twitter for you

sounds like best not to

 

[Red Sky]

Ermmm thanks? FLAF not covering themselves with glory?

 

[The39thStep]

FLAF now a 'broad church'

 

[Larry O'Hara]

The ANL Squads? Who were they??

 

[The39thStep]

The ANL Squads? Who were they??

I can remember Manchester , NW London , West London , Bristol to name a few . Most of them gutted after the Leeds Carnival expulsions

 

[hitmouse]

Had a look but couldn't see much. Got a link?

I was going to say, as ska and pickman's suggest above, it's always best not to see much of anything happening on twitter, but if you must know it seems to start with this person having a dig here:


Which, after a few days of back-and-forth, escalates to this:

 

[Sue]

Nonsense on twitter. Who gives a fuck?

 

[Serge Forward]

Good grief.

 

[Pickman's model]

The ANL Squads? Who were they??

ANL mk 1?

 

[hitmouse]

Nonsense on twitter. Who gives a fuck?

Fair point. Although having looked again, it looks like the conversation has been a bit more sensible today, so clearly my posting on urban75 yesterday saying that people on twitter were being a bit silly has done everyone a world of good.

You clearly have a calming effect

Had a look out of morbid curiosity.
Idprole vs IdPol nonsense from people who weren't there

ID Proles in action

We intend to be particularly active this year, with targeted campaigns & physical actions against fascists.

Anyone who wants to be more actively involved & part of a FLAF Stewards Group should contact the email address footballagainstfascism@gmail.com

Put ‘Stewards Group’ in the post title & please provide a phone number that you can be contacted on. Once we’ve made contact, you will also have to provide an address that can be verified by our security team.

For those who don’t feel inclined towards physical confrontation, there’s still plenty of other valuable support work that needs to be done.

The other obvious way you can help FLAF ‘passively’ is to make small but regular donations to our funds. The funds are important to our mobilisations, they give us the ability to subsidise transport from various areas.

Get involved, everyone has a role to play…

Only what you win on the field of battle, comrade.

From FLAF: 30 strong group of Leeds FLAF attempted to confront Patriotic Alternative, Yorkshire Patriots & NW Infidels at their anti-refugee demo at the Britannia Hotel. Cops couldn’t tell if we were left or right, thought we were ‘far right’ & let us cross the road & confront the fash before pushing us back.

* No FLAF members were arrested.

Well done FLAF . Seen a video with the fash whinging to the Police that you got right next to them

I tried watching about 30 seconds of that video, but couldn't be arsed trying to work out what was going on because the uploader seemed to insist on playing the Sex Pistols over the whole thing.

There's a non music one by the same uploader who I assume was part of the very poor fash turnout.
