EDL ROUTED IN WHITECHAPEL
EDL ROUTED IN WHITECHAPEL
The sorry tale of the EDL is perhaps wending it's way to an anti-climax. Yesterday saw a piss-poor turn out in Barking end up in an ignominious defeat in Whitechapel.
The league decided to make a stand in Barking – long an area of widespread BNP support. Admittedley this was only intended to be a regional demo not one of their national 'big ones' but even so the turn-out was poor.
SchNEWS spoke to a local anti-fascist “It really was a poor turn-out about 80 of them mostly old guys in their fifties or young kids – no casuals to be seen”. The EDL were cordoned off by police outside Barking Town Hall and exchanged points of view with a small UAF contingent. Later the right-wingers were bombarded with pots of yoghurt from above.
After that not particularly inspiring effort a few leaguers decided to up the ante. Around twenty of them got off the tube at Bethnal Green and pub-crawled their way up to the East London mosque. Attentive SchNEWS readers will know that this was the target of the EDL Tower Hamlets demo back in September.
According to our anti-fascist witness “They were there briefly, shouting 'Allah is a paedo', then almost straight away one of them got knocked out. Within ten minutes there were three or four hundred locals there ready to confront them. There were also TSG [riot police] all over the shop. The EDL were then all arrested for their own safety” Nice one guys!

No, I reserve pride for my own achievements not those of dead people who happened to be born in the same nation state as me.
WotTheFuck?? Have you 'progressed' from coke to crack, stephen? Go back to your little EDL on-line hide-out on the BBC forum.

- is it my imagination, or are you now finding them very shallow there? Are you *finally* waking up to the realisation that racism in a world with nuclear weapons is actual suicide?
leave 'the dark side' Lennon, do you honestly think you would enjoy the future you would create with the EDL? Even Adolf deeply regretted it, and earlier than you would believe. Round about the first time - and only time - he visited a working concentration camp. You should try it - go to Poland and visit Auschwitz, look into the faces in the pictures, and imagine them being English Muslims. Is your own political power that important to you, that you would cause *this* on British soil?
you know full well that this Tory Govt is vastly more dangerous to the people of this country than the Islamic religion, along with its nuLabour wing. Give up the racism, and join with the good people in fighting for Britain, for the NHS and for the welfare state - these things affect the working classes far more than this minority religion could ever do.
your energies and intelligence are wasted on this racial hatred. Btw, 'Tommy', have you noticed yet you get hammered every time you come near B'ton?? Perhaps its time you brought your "divisions" down here again? Or just come yourself to the Cowley for a chat - no-one would lay a finger on you, even the UAF would respect such bravery.
they do have some good ales on tap.
Halal - the idea that the EDL's campaign against Halal is to do with animal rights is laughable, it's merely another excuse to have a racist emo. Having seen wobbly ranks of the EDL up close I doubt there are many vegans amongst them (especially the ones throwing bacon around).
Female genital mutilation - definitely an issue in parts of Africa and the Middle East, and on a small scale in this country (where it is illegal). I'm certainly not in favour of it, but I don't see how marching through the streets shouting "Allah is a Paedo" would help.
I don't know that much about the alleged "47 paedophiles", what I do know is that they're in court on Monday - so (while I'm not a massive fan of our legal system) they have presumably been arrested, charged and (if found guilty) they will go to prison - so what exactly do you want to happen? By this logic you should be outside court everyday because there are always people accused of crimes in there, or didn't you know that?
It's a classic fascist tactic that allows you to blame an entire minority for something while also being able to say "we may be twats but we're not as bad as them" making counter demos difficult, i.e. "oppose us and you are pro-paedo".
As for "the indigenous genocide of the British folk" - According to the 2001 Census 90.9% of the population is white, while only 3% are Muslim (I realise these aren't mutually exclusive btw). So... what genocide?
Racist = Bad
Paedophile = bad
Rapist = bad
Both the edl and BNP have paedos, rapists and racists! (kettle meet pot!!) in their ranks, alongst violent hooliganism, support (and training) for racist mass-murdering psychopaths, worshipping of violent ideologies, and a desire for ethnic cleansing.
so your demos are against *what*, exactly? Against religious freedom, or against brown-skinned people you feel you can pick on? Or just for your personal ego trip, leading the morons by the nose for your own personal gain?
i heard you got knocked around a bit recently, 'tommy', i'm glad you weren't murdered in racist hate-crimes like those knifed over New Year. Did you cheer those news items?
and btw, are you Davie Camoron's long-lost bastard?? Truly eerie resemblance. I'd take him to a paternity court if i were you.
Female Genital Mutilation... Where are the Feminists?
Who has working calluses on thier hands?
racism is a mental handicap.
...as even their trolling proves.
Are you the same guy who tipped us off about the CasaPound article (http://www.schnews.org.uk/stories/CASAPOUND-RUNS-RIOT-IN-FOREIGN-MARKET/)? We interegated Miffy and found her politics didn't pass the anarchist test, so we had her shot. We're gonna check this guy out next.
As long as the others don't start suspecting me...
The price of anti-fascist and anarchist activism can sometimes be very high as we were painfully reminded a few days ago with the news that twenty year old Moscow anti-fascist Nikita Karlin had been found dead

EDL leader cries wolf as he blames enhanced blackeye on Muslim hordes.
On Tuesday 13th December, two Senegalese market traders – Samb Modou and Diop Mor – were shot dead and three more were injured when Gianluca Casseri, Italian fascist accountant and member of CasaPound, decided to vent his racism in the most brutal way possible.
While hanging around outside schools is probably quite familiar to the rank and file of the BNP – this time they had an excuse. Well kind of..
In response to the EDL's increasingly ineffective mass action and a lack of political depth. EDL leader and former BNP activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon announces he is joining the mini-BNP British Freedom Party.
Local anti-fascists were out and about around the South Coast this week as the BNP tried to rear their ugly mugs once again.
