EDL Thug Arrested On Terrorism Charges!!!

Smash The EDL! | 17.12.2009 15:19 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Birmingham

Hardcore neo-Nazi EDL forum moderator, Wigan Mike has been arrested on terror offences. Real name Michael Heaton of Leigh, National Front and British Freedom Fighters member "Wigan Mike" has helped organise many EDL and WDL demos, and was photographed amongst the crowd of Hitler saluters during the WDL's recent visit to Wales.



Along with Trevor Hannington, 58, from Hirwaun, South Wales, fascist scumbag Wigan Mike is charged with criminally stirring up racial hatred and offenses under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000, and Section 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006, and using threatening, abusive and insulting words likely to stir up racial hatred..

Wigan Mike is also charged with soliciting murder, which is a very serious criminal offence which if convicted, would result in a lengthy jail sentence, on-top of the terrorism charges.

Going under the moniker NSMIKE266 (NS meaning "national socialist i.e. confirmed Nazi)", although not a BNP member, Wigan Mike also attends BNP events, and was recently charged with racial harrassment this June in Blackpool after attending a BNP social piss-up at the New Kimberley Hotel, along with fash skinhead thug Liam Pinkham: -

Wigan Mike as a prominent member of the EDL, helping run the EDL's online racist football hooligan forums, has been spotted leading chants labelling all Muslims as terrorists at EDL marches in Manchester, Birmingham, Wrexham, and Leeds, and yet ironically has been charged with terrorist offences himself, which pays homage to the old adage when applied to terrorism, "it takes one to know one".

So much for the "moral high ground" of the EDL. When the proverbial shit hits the fan, we will know more about what exactly Wigan Mike was getting up to. Like it or not, the EDL is riddled with a significant number of renowned white supremacist extremists who the organisation has done nothing to contain. By allowing Wigan Mike to help rally his troops, incompetant EDL supremo Trevor Kelway has allowed his gang of loutish weak-bladdered soccer drunkards to succomb to the perils of hardcore white supremacism, becoming a welcome home to some of the most extreme lowlifes of the British far right scene, some of whom explicitely advocate white nationalist violence.

You can burn a swastika in public, and spin a fight between Chelsea and Spurs fans as an EDL versus C18 fight (which it clearly was not), and spend American Christian hard right fundamentalist cash on anti-terror publicity stunts outside mosques, however you cannot hide the sickening truth, the EDL's confirmed fascist credentials.

Pompous Pompey pantywaste Trevor KKKelway and chums forlornly troll the internet, telling the world that the EDL "are not nazis and white supremacists", but the sickening facts speak for themselves with prolific racist chanting, Hitler salutes, and now terrorism and murder plotting charges entering the public domain in a relentless flow of bad publicity for the hate-spewing soccer thug gang.

No matter how hard gormless racist dimwit KKKelway spins his pathetic web of lies, propaganda and bullshit, claiming to disassociate himself from Combat18 and the BFF, KKKelway's beloved EDL will be forever tarred with its neo-Nazi tag in indelible ink. Having half a dozen black and mixed race uncle toms, so not make the EDL any less racist. It must be remembered that when Mussolini came to power, he campaigned on nationalist rather than racist issues, and even relied on Jewish voters, only to betray them when his fascism took a racist slant, with Italy's participation in the Holocaust.

If igniting race riots is the main intention of the EDL not peaceful protest, just imagine what might happen if bombs were to go off in cities where the EDL were to gather, and were to be blamed on Islamic extremists. Don't put nothing past the warped minds of the British far right. MI5 and MI6 are on high alert for the possibilities of white supremacist terror

Many spectators on the "nationalist" scene of the far right on Stormfront VNN and Blood and Honour, view Wigan Mike as a grass. If I were Alan Lake, Trevor Kelway and the EDL, forget the drunken urge to piss in public. I'd be well and truly shitting my pants!!

NO PRO-EDL NEO-NAZI TROLLS PLEASE!

No brainless pro-EDL trolling on here, please, KKKelway!

The EDL might have some young, misguided white working class stooges who have been dragged along with the crowd, and I do pity them, but anti-fascist socialists and anarchists do not pity hardcore racist football hooligans, and most defo do not support the EDL's white supremacist fringe.

Let's keep Indymedia troll free.

INDYMEDIA NEO-NAZI TROLLS, PISS OFF TO STORMFRONT!!!

TROLLFINDER GENERAL


it wouldnt be the same with out one of these comments....

..."how dare anyone suggest that the EDL are anything but some concerned citizens who spend their time protecting our freedom, saving orphans from burning buildings and playing with fluffy kittens! Absosultly none of us are remotely racist, infact one of my best mates is a pak** and john even bought a drink from an n****** once.

Those arn't nazi salutes we were just waving to a nice old grannie who buys us cakes but the picture came out wrong. We're certainly not hooligans, its not just the fact we're always surrounded by police and or so called 'anti-facists' (WHO ARE ACTUALLY FACIST COMMUNIST CONSPIRITORS WHO WANT TO RULE THE WORLD) that keeps us from being violent. those people that ctually DID cause violence in the summer were like these other guys who we dont know, dispite the fact that guys that look like them, with the same names, come to our marches."

anti-edl and cops and prisons

17.12.2009 18:10

i'm not pro-edl and i'm not a troll but i do find this news kinda wierd and disconcerting.

part of me reading this couldn't help thinking - oh well why bother fighting them if the cops are going to do our work for us, and lock them up. if they really are racist maybe we should all just be collecting evidence to hand in at our local cop shop. not something i can ever imagine doing to anyone.

then after reading it i sat and thought about how it felt to be actively supporting people accused of terrorism for most of my adult life on the grounds that a) they aren't and weren't terrorists and b) it was a racist law being used as a tool of racism, and similarly my work with other prisoners, all i have learnt about how prison destroys live and creates hatred and brutality, and wondering how i am supposed to feel when the state does that to a fascist like this man. still can't find it in me to be celebratory about such a thing.

curious as to what other anti-fasc folk feel about the law getting involved in this way, the complexities of it all, having cops appear to do our dirty work for us, and the creation of another martyr?

freak grrl


police, etc

17.12.2009 18:32

@frrk grrl: the EDL are jokes. the police are doing what they always do, The Law. Wherever the law is broke by extremists, on the left or right, then the police wont be far behind. who cares what happens to this scum bag, to be honest, we're giving them more credence than they deserve!! as to the prison system, it should be confronted as well. but, for now, if someone gets locked up, his or her comrades will either worry about them and help them, or not. but it wont be me, or you by the sounds of it.

does that help?

good that he's getting shit, bad that anti-terrorism laws are used

17.12.2009 18:36

It's good to see fascists getting shit, but we mustn't forget that the state is more powerful that small groups of fascist losers like the EDL, and those same "anti-terrorism" laws are most likely to be used against people like us.

Terrorism is about killing people, not being a drunken fascist yob, an eco-saboteur, a user of encryption, or an animal liberationist. Governments are the biggest users of terror - look at how many civilians the UK government has killed over the past years for political purposes.

Censoring Neo-Nazi Trolls

17.12.2009 20:11


It's doesn't seem to be the troll destroyer, but Trollfinder General. It's the trolls who are embarrasing, as Kelfuck and the the EDL do seem to have a team of trolling twats who love to destroy any antinazi thread including EDL fascism discussion with riduculoys comments about how Kelfuck's EDL are peaceloving hippyistic angels, and not the hard-drinking, streetfighting neo-Nazi scumbags of popular perception.

Some people on previous threads seem to take fash trolls on face-value and give credence to the racial supremacist version of hug-a-hoodie - "Kiss A Jackboot".

When Indymedia sees sense in deleting pro-BNP/EDL/Combat18 threads, applying necessary censorship, there wouldn't be a need to warn people about trolls who wouldn't bloody well be there in the first place.

Well Done, Police!

17.12.2009 20:26


It doesn't matter wot the scumbag is being arrested for. He's been once and for all slapped down for his love of Hitler, and the EDL have yet to proscribe him for being a confirmed white supremacist. When and if they do, those of us who were not born yesterday know that it will be a matter of window dressing. Other key EDLers exsit with equally as loathsome neo-Nazis such as Lincoln Loyal who is both a racist football hooligan and a supporter of all three established fascist outfits - Combat18, he BNP and the NF.

Yes, he's put Combat18 on his flag, and he brings with him twelve or more Lincoln soccer hooligans to every racist march so he's not gonna vanish into the mist.

Take a look for yourself.

And for all those trolls who are quick to claim innocense of the rank and file BNP member, those in the EDL who are not neo-Nazis, are brainless fist-fighting bozos with shit for brains.

Anyway, it's great to see the state clamping down on fascist scum, and et's hope there can be plenty more arrests of EDL members.

Thanks Mister Plod!

Casually observing observers

17.12.2009 20:30

Hmmm, here's KKKelway's version of Wigan Mike's latest brush with the law:-

"it wasn't the vested ones involvement with the EDl that got him arrested it was for his involvement with The Aryan Strike Force website... A full on Nazi Web site.The vested wigan Mike keeps his nazi beliefs quiet on the EDL forum....."

And here's the same story told by one of his "top boys" to "the lads:-

"You see, it was his involvement wiv "full-on nazis" wat done it...he neva said nufink on the EDL forums about being a nazi, honest guvna we didn't know he wer a nazi or we'd a kicked 'is 'ead in like we did wiv 'em combat 18 nazis and we proper kicked their 'eads in fire extinguisher 'n all!"

Now, for those of us too cynical to believe the denials of a fascist troll like the rest of us Trevor KKelway and his associate scum. Can any EDL watchers confirm what Wigan Mike was posting on their forums, or have his posts all been deleted already?

Finally,I especially enjoyed this bit because it reminded me of a pathetic little reprobate squirming behind his computer trying deflect from the fact he's a troll...

"Can the Troll destroyer please stop his/her Troll posts as its like an invitation to come on hear and Troll plus its a wee bit embarrassing"

It must be getting "a wee bit embarassing" to troll a thread that's already being patrolled for trolls. His problem is he simply can't stay away, like a moth to a lightbulb, even when he's so ruthlessly outed and shamed everytime he raises his ugly head!

Not the EDL (honest guvna)


Busted!

17.12.2009 21:58

"Not everyone agrees 100% on your views regarding the EDL"

Kelfuck and the EDL most surely don't. Calling a nazi a nazi is judt downright common sense. And I am not "troll finda" or whoever. Do love the pisstaking fotos tho.

There's nothing much to speculate on the EDL. They have a toxic mix of hardcore football hoolies and hardcore neo-nazis with a handful of young and impressonable nutters thrown into the mix. They're racist, violent reactionary and (calling opponents "shirt lifters" on websites) homophobic also, and as well as C18 and the NF, some EDL members are also BNP members.

And many people who have spoken out against them including a Lincoln journalist, have been the subject of cowardly death threats.

If there's a redeeming feature of this ragtag fascist street army they call the EDL and any supposed antifascist who thinks that these coke-sorting pissheads can be persuaded to become lefties and anarchists just 'cos some of them happen to be working class, is living on fuckin' Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Anyway, well done the fuzz!

Wigan Mike and Seaside Jeff Marsh

17.12.2009 22:46

Wigan Mike and Seaside Jeff Marsh -- are online mates as Jeffy boy has been emailing wigan mike -- calling him wigan mike, with the knowledge that the said wigan mike had a bit of history with the straight armed nazi brigade. So Jeff, where do you stand on the matter - or you take anyone on who hates the "reds" and is part of the "nationalist struggle" as you so put it.

EDL's half dozen non-white members + WHITE DEFENCE LEAGUE

09.01.2010 01:18

This article is good but omits to mention "Wigan Mike" Heaton is a long-standing National Front organiser and that the "BFF" referred to is a microscopic but violent Nazi gang, led by Wigan Mike, called the "British Freedom Fighters" (lol/sic) who boasted about joining EDL demos in Birmingham for the express purpose of attacking "n*****s and Muslims". Wigan Mike's You Tube channel is  http://www.youtube.com/nsmike266 - where he posted videos of himself and other good Christians of the EDL enjoying tea and cucumber sandwiches with local clergy in Manchester, Leeds and Wrexham, eg -

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv-kFcloBzk

As for the debate about the EDL's half a dozen non-white members, even Colin Jordan's wildly Nazi group the British Movement had at least one black (West Ham hooligan) and one mixed race supporter, and THOUSANDS of black troops fought in General Franco's Fascist uprising against the democratically elected government of Republican Spain. Funnily enough, before the BM, Colin Jordan ran a group called the WHITE DEFENCE LEAGUE

For all the BNP people who say "not all BNP members are Nazis" and for the EDL people who say "not all EDL members are Nazis" the fact is that not all the Germans who joined Hitler's Nazi party were Nazis either!

Lots of ordinary Germans joined the Nazis because membership gave them opportunities to enjoy a good punch up, to burgle Jewish homes with impunity, to torture and rape political prisoners, because they were too cowardly not to go along with the crowd, because they liked dressing up in fucking stupid uniforms, to further their own careers, and because they were irresponsible and gullible wankers rather than being ideologically committed National Socialists.... so fucking what, that doesn't absolve them of responsibility for the regime that the helped create or in fact for any of their own personal crimes
