UAF Protest vs EDL March – Pix-&-Vidz – 05 Mar 10

Tim Dalinian Jones | 08.03.2010 08:51 | Anti-racism | Migration | Repression

Dateline: Tate Britain to the Palace of Westminster, Millbank to Abingdon Street, London, UK, 12:45-17:00 Fri 05 Mar 10 – The far-right English Defence League rallies a white male extremist mob outside Tate Britain on Millbank, to march to the Palace of Westminster on Abingdon Street, in support of Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders showing his anti-Islam film Fitna in the House of Lords, at the invitation of Baroness Cox and UK Independence Party leader Lord Pearson. So Unite Against Facism called a counter-demonstration which attracted a mix of women and men from varied ethnicities to oppose the rightist ravings of the racist boot boys – only to face harassment, restriction and arrests by the rozzers.

Rather than prolong the publishing delay by writing an Action Report, I'm going to let the pix-&-vidz speak for themselves. I shall try to add the additional 15 pix as an 'addition' – if that doesn't work, you can see the whole 35 pix set at my local IMC:

Whatever Next?
The Great COP-15 Cop-Out in December 2009 showed how the Powers That Be cannot even be prevailed upon to meet their own woefully low expectations in co-operating to halt the Catastrophic Climate Chaos Crisis into which they are plunging humanity and our ecosphere. So it's time to begin making ourselves ungovernable by their Parliamentary representative democracy, by developing our own Participatory direct democracy – through the People's Assemblies called for by the emergent Climate Justice International. And in doing so, we can help ensure Blair, Brown and their ilk won't be able to prosecute future overseas wars, and successfully marginalise racists and fascists.

Over three Election Meltdown Mobilisation gatherings, our numbers, reach and plans have grown from strength to strength. From co-creating a May Day Carnival in Parliament Square, fed by four convergent Carnival Parades, to taking up the call from the Climate Justice International to convene People's Assemblies in the Square and elsewhere, these are exciting times for those who would actively create a popular, truly democratic, and ecologically harmonious future for human civilisation and our biosphere. We're an Open Network collective, open to individuals and groups who'd like to collaborate face-to-face and online, to build a better world for all life on Earth – so YOU are invited, to help broaden out these initiatives, add in your own to the mix, and spread the word before the UK general election: there IS a 'System Change not Climate Change' alternative to the mainstream party's planet-wrecking austerity measures – because We Weave Our Destiny With Our Own Hands!

“The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.” ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau (French philosopher and writer whose novels inspired the leaders of the French Revolution, 1712-1778)

“Real change comes about not because we vote for it, but because we fight for it, shout for it, work for it. Placing hopes and fears on who holds power, or who will gain power through voting, is wasting time which might be spent in creating alternatives, both for ourselves and for our communities.” ~ Chumbawamba, 1987
