EDL Plots August Race Riot in Bradford

Weatherman | 29.05.2010 14:48 | Anti-racism | Migration | Repression | Sheffield

The violent fascist EDL have confirmed they plan to inflict Bradford with Britain's deadliest-ever race riot in late August. Having cancelled an earlier visit to the multicultural rubble-strewn wreck of a city, the racist street-fighting army of football hooligans and hardcore white supremacists will invade Bradford, unleashing a pandemonium of ultra violence with chisels, bottles, knives and petrol bombs.



Token non-white EDL organiser Guramit Singh announced the EDL's devastating plans to a newspaper journalist, (later confirmed by the leadership) that Bradford would be "hit!" In the words of this religious bigot and self-styled anti-Muslim extremist, The EDL's invasion will be "huge!"

Every British racist will descend upon Bradford over the bank holiday weekend to destroy multiculturalism, including disillusioned BNP members, BPP, NF, and self-proclaimed Odin-worshipping Aryan "white wolves". If they are not stopped, in a matter of hours, the tolerant multicultural city will be turned into (byegone) Beirut, with an orgy of outright racial violence, tit-for-tat revenge attacks set to last on throughout the bank holiday weekend.

In Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass), which paved the way for the Holocaust, mobs of brainwashed racist thugs rampaged through the streets of multicultural cities, burning, looting and destroying Jewish houses and shops, displacing and murdering entire families, their rabble-rousing racist venom shared by the so-called "British Nationalists" who continue to openly worship Adolf Hitler on far-right websites such as VNN and Stormfront.

The presence of a provocative Israeli flag, and the window-dressing of less than half a dozen non-white members (accused of being "Uncle Toms"), fails to disguise the EDL's inheritance of the catastrophic nazi legacy. Avoiding the media spotlight after a number of lower-key demonstrations including attacks on KFC take-aways, lulling the authorities and politicians into a false sense of complacency, millionairre Alan Lake and his EDL footsoldiers are launching Bradford's most deadly race riot.

On Saturday August the 28th, wearing face-masks, making Hitler salutes, and armed with chisels, hammers and bottles, the drunken EDL army will march from Bradford Interchange to the Turls Green Lloyds Bar (Wetherspoons), set upon absolute carnage and mayhem at the exact same site of the devastating riots of 2001. While making worthless promises to the police that they will behave, once in Bradford the EDL's thugs will kick-off their orgy of hate, incitement and terror to finish the riot-stricken city, once and for all.

Bradford is not a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. Since the Salman Rushdie affair, it's home-grown Muslim community is religiously-moderate and if it's a question of patriotism, consider how, last December, 1000 Muslim worshippers donated £5 each in a single collection for the Cumbrian victims of flooding, including a policeman who died rescuing householders from danger. And recently, Manningham's Muslims have set up successful scout and cub groups.

Beyond the spin of media-savvy apologist (Lord Haw Haw of the EDL) Trevor Kelway, lurks candid old-skool race hatred. Check out Facebook, YouTube, and every other site where EDL supporters inhabit, and discover raw, old-fashioned loathing of immigrants, black people, Jews, and gays and lesbians, besides Muslims. Once out in the open, the EDL's facsist faithful come out in their true violent racist colours, threatening to maim, murder, and conduct acts of genocide upon anybody who happens not to be white.

It's easy to dismiss EDL regulars as a bunch of brainless pisshead hooligans, but when the opportunity to ignite the UK-s worst ever race riot looms, expect hundreds of hardcore neo-Nazis to get in on the act. Down the road from Bradford in Batley, in January, former soldier and BNP member Terrance Gavan was jailed for 22 counts including collecting information useful for terrorism and possessing explosives and firearms. He had been plotting to murder Asian people in Dewsbury.

Inspired by David Copeland, Robert Cottage and Martyn Gilleard, meddling with firearms, explosives and chemical weapons, a flurry of extremist pyschopaths lurk in the wings of British Nationalism, cashing-in on the loss of interest in the ballot box since the decline of the BNP. Such individuals pose a significant terrrorist threat, and see the arrival of the EDL in Bradford as the green light to wage a white supremacist race war on the streets of Britain.

In 2001, less than forty NF and BNP racists from outside of Bradford were able to create a large-scale race riot which still casts a shadow over the city today. This time there will be more than two thousand neo-Nazis descending upon the city.

In the days and weeks leading up to the 2010 Bradford Riot, EDL organisers will exploit Facebook's "misguided devotion to free speech", infiltrating young white Bradfordians on Facebook with racist myths and lies about Bradford's Muslims which will create the backdrop of fear, mistrust and untruths that will turn the city in on itself, setting the seal for the lasting descruction of this once-proud industrial city.

The riots of 2001 lasted mere hours. August's riots will last several days, as community harmony is irreversably destroyed with sporadic eruptions of street violence, as the outsiders ignite local tensions stirred by toxic Facebook myths.

Beforehand the council and the police will visit Mosques, warning young Asian people not to protest against the EDL, threatening a repeat of the disproportionate sentences handed out to Asian rioters who threw a single stone (back in 2001), but with a whole community under threat, and the Unite Against Fascism offering no practical opposition to counter the EDL's arrival, all warnings will fall upon deaf ears, violent confrontation inevitable.

Accused by many of being state-sponsored, since Tommy Robinson's "secret interrogation" in Sheffield, the EDL have noticeably been treated with kid-gloves by the authorities while continuing to chant racial abuse, and assault and threaten non-white people without being punished. Outnumbered by a vast number of EDL supporters, if the police are seen to "take sides" by taking no action against racist chanters, World War III will kick-of, shoppers, pensioners and families with little children, caught up in the deadly crossfire.

Bus drivers will be beaten-up threatened with their lives, curry houses, taxis and Asian-owned shops will be smashed up, chaos descending to the inner cities, the impoverished council estates, and the outer-suburbs. If the EDL are allowed to strut willy-nilly through Bradford, there is only one outcome, the next Lord Scarman/Lord Ouseley waiting in the wings to pen the post-riot report, when the dust has settled.

On the day of the riot, Unite Against Fascism will preach to the converted up by the university, away from the city centre, a handful of trade unionists making well-meaning but pointless speeches, while Bradford burns, leaving it up to the younger members of Bradford's Asian community to take direct action by themselves, leading to the inevitable Asian versus white confrontation.

Bradford's marginalised British Pakistani community has a history of defiance against violent fascism, reflected by hip hop acts such Fun-Da-Mental, and they will not stay at home because the police ask them to. Ironically, many of the people who will take to the streets, are not devout Muslims, making a mockery of the EDL's assumptions.

Kevin Watmough, Wigan Mike, Liam Pinkham, the British Freedom Fighters, the Racial Volunteer Squad, and assorted BNP, BPP and NF neo-Nazis pouring into Bradford, every active British racist will be there in Bradford to destroy multiculturalism in broad daylight with their boots and fists.

Since the last major riot, many shops have moved out, businesses have collapsed, and jobs have been lost. The Odeon Cinema is rotting away, and half the city has become one massive hole in the ground. Only last week, another Yorkshire Ripper-style mass murderer "the Crossbow Cannibal" was arrested for murdering prostitutes. Black, white or Asian, impoverished long-suffering Bradfordians just want to get on their lives in peace, not suffer the mother of all race riots.

The EDL must not be allowed to invade Bradford.

(No EDL sympathising trolls, please. This is Indymedia not Stormfront!)

Talking up a race riot

29.05.2010 15:12

Surely this is the problem, that articles like this talk up the possibility of a race riot, to draw in those ( on both sides ) who benefit from it race riots - the reactionary thugs, the manipulators, the fascists.

This is dodgy "politics". Are you involved in Searchlight by any chance?

Not a troll


Just a thought like..

29.05.2010 15:13

Perhaps it is time that all the old faces on the far-left quit their differences with each other and turned up to stop this organisation once and for all.

AFA, No Platform, Antifa more than enough quality to see off these pricks...

Race Riots

29.05.2010 15:15

Trevor Kelway and the rest of the EDL neo-Nazi scum were boasting this afternoon on twitter that they are peace-loving, after there were no arrests in Newcastle.

The EDL don't get arrested cos they are sponsored by the state.

Newcastle is 97.8% white British, which is why they were not going to cause riots, but they are only marching in Bradford and Tower Hamlets with one intention - to cause serious race riots.

Causing race-rioits is there sole intention.

Now the BNP are history, many of their members are switching to the EDL. This is the danger we as anti-fascists must beware!

It's obvious the EDL are marching in Bradford and Tower Hamlets to cause rioting, if you look at what happened in 2001.

I was there, and saw what happened.

29.05.2010 15:46

Yes the BNP are well and truly Finished, it is very important that we help Griffin stay on to 2013, very important indeed, so that he can maximise his damage and bleed them completely dry
Thats a simple fact that only those stupid enough to pile in wages to prop him up can deny.
The EDL have all the ex BNP/ NF nasty boys in tow and are a much bigger militant threat that has to be opposed and exposed.
This is where the threat lays now, a amalgamation of all right wing nasty groups and it will take a massive wipe the slate clean amalgamation of our people to stop them.

Which march in Tower Hamlets?

29.05.2010 17:37

I don't think EDL will call a march in Tower Hamlets because they will get flattened. Apart from having a large bangla community it also has many active anarchists in the area, it is also very mixed, with large alternative/counter-culture types in the area.

To assume just from one idiots comments in EDL that Tower Hamlets is on the card, and then re-print as it is a certainty is just balls.

In the original Bradford riot, there were Chelsea headhunters and several guys from Scarborough not Ointment.

It's not alarmism -anyone seen that Guardian documentary?

The chilling words from a fash EDL thug in a Bolton pub -

"It is going to be a good 'un today," says the shaven-headed man, leaning across the table towards me to make himself heard. "We're going to get to twat some Pakis – I can feel it."

Someone needs to dig the dirt about Alan Lake. He's the millionairre bastard who funds a Swedish neo-Nazi group, looking to subvert the working classes.

EDL won't exist much longer

Cardiff is going to be a fucking bloodbath. They made a wrong turn trying to have a demo in a proper multi-cultural Welsh city.

Come to Wales to see the last day of the EDL on 5th June.

The big one

30.05.2010 12:25

This article is alarmist but then again sometimes you have to plan for the worst - I agree with the general hypothesis that the EDL are trying to behave themselves, temporarily, into order to build up their numbers for "the big one", so-to-speak

Digital Extra


Counter-Protests

30.05.2010 13:39

What would be good, is if there could be an anarchist/class war protest outside of Alan Lake's country mansion lasting as long as long as the EDL's wankfests keep on, maybe squatting his Rolls Royce garage, so he could see what hassle his protests are inflicting upon the vulnerable!

A suggestion

30.05.2010 16:10

Perhaps such a demonstration outside the Domicile of Mister Lake could take place on the same day as the EDL attempt to smash up our cities. Those of a more fluffy persuasion could attend there to highlight who finances fascism and those of a more robust constitution could be elsewhere.

Reality Check

30.05.2010 23:00


This article is designed to hype things up, for someone that is opposed to them, you seem to have incredible in depth knowledge, such as were they are marching to in August, that they are going to be carrying hammers, chisels etc. How can you tell, are you claiming the gift of prophecy.

Joke article.

The Strategy of Tension

31.05.2010 08:12

The EDL, like their counterpart, ISLAM4ALL, are the main "radical" supporters of the "Clash of Civilizations" and the "War on Terror" -- the perpetual war for oil, other key resources and Imperial control of the Middle East -- many fascists, like the BNP opposed the Iraq war and most Muslims, obviously, oppose the wars.

Both the EDL and ISLAM4ALL's protests have been assisted by the police in ways that no other protests are -- at this level at least there is state support for them and it's quite possible (given the history of things like Gladio) that the involvement of the state intelligence agencies is much greater, they could well be pulling the strings of both organisations.

Of course most the "punters" attending EDL and ISLAM4ALL protests are, no doubt, genuine idiots...

So where does the article above fit in with it's over the top hype, "a pandemonium of ultra violence", "orgy of hate, incitement and terror", "the UK-s worst ever race riot", well a cynical take on it might be that it's trying to wind things up, it's a part of the strategy of tension which is based on the oldest Imperial tricks in the book -- divide and rule...

The main problem is the Imperial system and it's rulers and their agenda of Genocide and Ecocide.

PS If people are not aware of Gladio and the Strategy of Tension then you could start here:

Read Facebook - This Article Is Based On Facebook Comments

01.06.2010 12:59

It makes you wander if anybody here reads Facebook or YouTube Comments. On Facebook, before this article was written, EDL members have been talking about Bradford being a "f*ing bloodbath" as they called it, calling for the use of all violence at their disposal, and aiming to get a crowd of 10,000 racists bussed into Bradford.

 http://bcafc.livewwware.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=892072

Wetherman's just telling it like it is.

Nobody was prepared for the Bradford riots of 2001. This time, there will be too many racist thugs for the police to handle, and unless something is done to form a meaningful counterprotest of similar numbers, it's gonna be deadly!

This is what the EDL have been saying on Facebook ldays before this article was written.

Stirring the pot...

02.06.2010 14:00

Dear Author,

Your article is insane.

Almost 100% speculation, it attempts to make predictions about the proposed riots simultaneously condemning the idea and imagining the worst possible outcome.
"The riot will last several days". How on earth would you know this? Well, you clearly don't but that sort of uneducated guesswork isn't journalism, it's fear mongering. You aren't so much informing the reader as expounding upon YOUR worst imagining of the situation.
It is dangerous to present current affairs in this format. Your words are thick with paranoia and fear, an uncertainty that creates a tension just from reading it.
What do you think your article will do for residents of Bradford? Inform them? Or just scare them?
You could have used this oppurtunity to suggest solutions to the issue, offer up some ideas for people who would like to express their opposition in a non-violent manner, possibly try and rally a group of locals who are willing to protest against the EDL. With your newly found media platform you could have advertised a Facebook group to bring together people who are willing to fight (non-violently) against the EDL's plans, an informed forum to dispell the inevitable rumours and bring the possibilty of the event to the publics attention.
But, instead, you go off on a fantasy list of weapons and atrocities that so far ONLY EXIST IN YOUR HEAD.
You say the EDL have made "worthless promises to the police that they will behave" before deciding that "once in Bradford the EDL's thugs will kick-off their orgy of hate, incitement and terror to finish the riot-stricken city, once and for all". I'm glad you know that as a fact and didn't just guess.
Except that it's not a fact, you are not a journalist and your article is not constuctive in any way. I do hope you are no longer allowed to write articles that require rational and balanced viewpoints as you are not capable of either,

Thanks
Lloyd Noisette
