UAF - Disaster waiting to happen

Any well informed anti-fascist will be demonstrating against the EDL at a time of their chosing along the route or meeting point of the EDL. This info is readily avaiable all over indymedia - see other posts on this topic , and they have made no secret of the facts: 2pm train station, 2.30 meeting Wetherspoons march to Nottingham Castle via, castle wharf, castle boulevard, castle street....
why would anyone want to demonstrate outside a bingo hall half a mile away, the market square or Royal Concert Hall?? or are you having a quick game of bingo, popping to do a bit of xmas shopping in the square, then catching a matinee at the Theatre?.....unbeleivable!!

The linked article + Unite Against Fascism (UAF) stewards collaborate with police on anti-EDL protest + should be read before anyone talks to UAF.

not be organised

Down with the Generals!

Fucking hell - 4 demonstrations:

- 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment
- The English Defence League
- Unite Against Fascism
- Nottinghamshire Stop The BNP

It looks like these demos will effect each other. The campaign to Free Joe Glenton needs to win more soldiers over to opposing the occupation of Afghanistan and opposing racism at home. I expect that the soldiers will support the anti-fascists unless some Trot arsehole screams "scum" at them.

Victory to the Soldiers! Free Afghanistan!

You expect the soldiers to support the anti-facsists? Sorry, but in your dreams mate. I'm sick of this "They're poor helpless victims too..." bollocks. Make no excuses for these mercenaries.

Full respect & solidarity to soldiers who refuse to fight though.

Not a Trot
