It could also be retaliation by the Soggies/AWL after being 'turfed' away last month !

Should you really be naming people like that?

Bookmarks are saying a dozen attacked. Does the AWL even have a dozen members?
Groups liked that are always getting slapped at Marxism....never retaliated before in such an organised fashion.

Don't think they had anything to do with it tbh. They were busy after the game collecting.Its a campaign about the death of three boys who were tragically killed by a drunk/drug driver in West London. The families allege a cover up and there have been suggestions that the passenger who wasnt charged had anti Tommy Robinson/pro ISIS stuff on his facebook and that the driver was a recently converted Muslim ie was it really a terrorist attack. Its been completely hijacked by the far right and weirdo Pendragon types and two of the parents are active TR supporters.

They could have hired or coaxed the Jewish Defence League !

They must have moonwalked over there if it took that long.
So that's it for you, it must be one of those. Have you considered that it could have been be anyone/group/firm or not tied to football at all? Doesn't' these football lads set ups have people from all over?
Columbo has nothing on you
Bookmarks think they know the people responsible and will update soon.
P.S. I'm more Miss Marple
ok to be fair I couldn't care less about a trot bookshop.

Wasn't that guy very close to Delta and a former fascist himself?
SWP’s Marxism 2016. We Publish Some of the ‘List of Shame’.
"At the start of 2013, the SWP conference narrowly approved the disputes committee report; from then on large parts of the organisation operated a loyalty test: if you were willing to back Smith, you could remain in the party. if not, you were told to leave. The atmosphere, at its worst, was as hostile as could be. Members of Smith’s personal anti-fascist bodyguard, men in the late 40s, spat in the faces of a woman in her 20s who disagreed with them. Smith’s supporters threatened to beat up another young, male critic. People were silenced, jeered, told to their faces to leave."

FWIW that spitting incident was not the person named, unless l am mistaken, and he's not a former fascist, to my knowledge. Although of course many good anti-fascists over the years have come over from the other side. Also the point about naming people is a sound one, probably a good idea for people to edit their posts, since you do have that option.

What do you think can be done by way of protection?
Can you hurry up and get banned please. Stop holding back.

He is on an SWPTV YouTube video from a Marxism meeting on fascism stating he was a former fascist.

A door entry system on that shop may be a start. At present walking into there is like walking into Starbucks.
With the fascists basically regarding central London as home turf now being in Bloomsbury is no protection anymore

More than likely, he's probably Head Honcho of SUTR/UAF now & recently posing the part !

Yeah, I have known a few of those, but in my experience, while the particulars of their politics may have done a 180, their thuggishness, hackishness and aggressiveness have remained pretty constant....in my experience. I have never totally trusted people who flip their politics whilst being an adult. Points to an inner emptiness.

43 minutes on the Tube says Google, time enough for a few beers to make it seem like a good idea.

Door entry systems for left wing bookshops is a bit of an admission of failure. And unwelcoming.

This is nothing to do with the bookshop attack but of all the verminous things that the TR lot have done, this is probably the worst. That families who have had to go through what they have - including seeing someone get what really was a joke sentence* -, been massively let down and then have that lot drip poison into their ears as well makes my blood boil.
* this is not to blame the judge, who probably gave towards the maximum of what they could give for a guilty plea (the bloke got three lots of 13 years concurrently, and disqualified for 13 years 6 months), its more to make the point that successive Governments have let drivers kill multiple people and not face appropriate sanctions for far too long. Those sentences, indeed all sentences for deaths due to dangerous driving / drink driving, should be consecutive.

Also largely impractical — all you need to do is wait for one person to walk up and get buzzed through then pile in. Retail spaces just have a lot of people walk in and out, it's not possible to run a business and be entirely secure in that way.

Conformity is the last refuge of the unimaginitive
And buy some masks, sit in a pub on camera then do the business. Fuck knows how they had the time to have a punch up with boro before all this. Definitley Millwall then.

Maybe but the far right are resurgent on the streets. They are not doing much at the ballot box at present so if you are a street movement you need shit for your street activists to do. Attacking lefty bookshops is "shit for your activists to do". We have been here before .

On a personal level I've found him to be a reasonably nice guy !
He is one of the individuals many in now defunct ISN claimed to be bullying and intimidating towards members & close to 'Comrade Delta' !

Are they a business? They would hardly sell enough books to pay for the sky high rent on that place (it is in the centre of one of the most expensive cities in the world).
That shop is kept going from donations and money from its parent party (and we all know SWP funding is notoriously opaque.....the quickest way to get expelled from the SWP is to ask about the money)

Agree....
Ultimately there is nothing you can do to make a shop attack proof
This really shouldn't be a thread for SWP beef

Reads like a bit of a stunt ....an alt right "situationist prank" almost
I assume the windows are intact so maybe it is a fuss about nothing. Apologies to Millwall .
