Urgent! English Defence League [EDL] have gone into Whitechapel this evening

anon | 15.06.2010 18:08 | Anti-racism | Repression | Social Struggles | South Coast | World

The racist Islamophobic football hooligans of the English Defence League have gone into Whitechapel, East London E1 this evening, Tuesday 15th June to cause trouble. They were in Barking earlier today. They punched Muslims, threw eggs and pork meat at Muslims. They have now gone into Whitechapel. If you live in East London defend your Muslim friends and neighbours in case the EDL attack.

The EDL are in Whitechapel and are trying to goad gangs of youths. We are told that the police have been called.

All anti racists in East London should keep an eye on the EDL and make sure all your Muslim neighbours and friends are safe.

The EDL have spent much of today from this morning drinking etc and have already been violent today so take care and look after your Muslim neighbours.

Update 6pm

15.06.2010 18:40

down in whitechapel.

Around 6pm ten or so police standing guard outside the grave maurice pub (pub right next to whitechapel tube), hundreds of local asian youth and locals congregating outside.

Police then opened up a corridor and escorted 12 edl out of the pub to the tube station. There were literally 12 of them all very young, (joel edl leading them out), a couple of older, fatter sorts, all white.

Police had to hold off the locals until they got the edl mob into the tubestation when the locals, who at this time were chanting 'edl scum', stormed the tube and were beaten back by police who then closed the station doors.

if it was a scouting mission it backfired bigtime. No lefties, no politics just a lot of aggrieved local asian lads.

look after themselves

Chased out of Whitechapel by the Asian youth, nice one, had to leave with police protection as well, what a bunch of wankers.

Fair play to the OP though, we need to be alerted when this scum set out to divide out communities.

What?

15.06.2010 19:20

All 12 of them? People are bigging up these tossers way too much.

very lucky escape

15.06.2010 20:36

very lucky escape for these dumbfucks. a few hundred locals in a few minutes. that's without any prior annoucement by the edl. imagine how worse it would have been if they hadn't called off their demo on the 20th. saved by the pigs boys?! - get used to it. its not just the english 'left' who are against you, but a lot of lads and lasses who will fuck you up no end.

Good mobilisation against EDL

15.06.2010 21:41

There are hundreds of local people out now waiting for the EDL if they dare to return.

And thanks for that brilliant contribution Dave.

what you talking about, you make out that whitechapel is some sort of no-go zone?!! Its the complete opposite. I feel safer as a white person on whitechapel high street on a Saturday night than I do Dagenham.

Whitechapel is London always will be.

Why not come by Walthamstow ?

16.06.2010 01:48

EDL pricks..

Why don't you little pansy boys come by Walthamstow ?

We dare you. A few mosques round here, plenty of those 'Muzlims' you nonces keep goin on about.

You think you got a hot reception in Whitechapel ? You've not seen anything yet.

Bunch of twats, we'll have it ALL DAY, EVERYDAY !!!

I agree as well, I cycle regularly through Whitechapel and it's a really safe area (and lots of bike lanes and quiet roads). To suggest white people can't go there is just nonsense and plainly isn't true, from the number of white people I see when I'm out an about (actually, all sorts of people seem to live in the area, it seems very multi-cultural).

I feel uncomfortable in Dagenham during the day, not just at night, why is everyone so unfriendly there? A man once asked me directions and shouted at me when I didn't know the answer!

The situation in Whitechapel escalated last night for most of the night.

16.06.2010 18:01

Hundreds of people were out on the streets for most of the night. People from the EDL went back to Whitechapel and there are reports of Muslim women being attacked. Women were spat on and women's Hijabs were pulled off by racists.
The EDL were then found and were chased out of the area.
Oh and as for us who did the call being "middle class students"..you are so very wrong there and we stand together when the EDL are around, ALL of us in London whether middle class, working class, unemployed, underclass or toffs. It doesn't matter what class you are. Defend your community.
The EDL are racist, Islamophobic thugs who attack women, abuse people, attack Mosques and scare the elderly and kids. If you think we are "scaremongering" you might want to take a moment to think what it is like for Muslims who are being attacked by racist football thugs and think especially what it must be like to be a Muslim woman with children in a buggy when the EDL thugs turn up.
Joel Titus isn't a harmless kid. He is a violent football thug with some nasty connections. If there are 12 EDL in a pub this can lead to 100 of them fairly quickly. They should not have gone to Whitechapel with tensions running high like they are at the moment. They shouldn't go there at all. The EDL are deceptive, violent and full of hate.
When we did the call out we were asking people to defend their neighbours, make sure they got home safe, were safe at home etc. We want to make sure that old people, youngsters, parents with young kids etc get home safely. When a community needs defending there is more to doing this than having fights in the streets. The EDL caused trouble by going to Whitechapel.
Finally, when you slag off the middle classes and say that the community don't need the help of middle class students or lefties...plenty of Muslims in Whitechapel are middle class students etc and they were brilliant last night in the way that they defended Whitechapel.

if as you claim women were spat on and attacked how can you then go on to say (middle class student wankers youre words) did a great job protecting them i feel you are just spinning yarns

@anon

not true though

16.06.2010 22:11

the first bit was true but this wasn't was it "People from the EDL went back to Whitechapel and there are reports of Muslim women being attacked. Women were spat on and women's Hijabs were pulled off by racists. The EDL were then found and were chased out of the area." and did you Anon send out the texts saying EDL were raping women?

undercovers

17.06.2010 09:00

I was there by Whitechapel tube station just after this kicked off. I didn't see the main incident, but whatever actually happened didn't seem to have been anything too major as it was over pretty quickly. What I did see was a van load of police show up, and mill around a bit. A few undercover police seemed to appear- by which I mean blokes in tracksuits would suddenly pull out walkie talkies.
The police approached the Grove Maurice pub, a few drinkers were in the doorway. More and more drinkers came out of the pub, then they all started pulling out police radios. I mean half the people coming out of the pub were undercover police. Whatever it was that happened or was sposed to happen the police were certainly anticipating it.

grove maurice

At 11.00pm there were approx 2,000 young Bengali men on streets of Whitechapel

17.06.2010 20:50

After the "kids" of the EDL, Joel Titus and co were escorted [for their safety] out of the area by the police there were more racists who went in to Whitechapel that night. It is true that they attacked Muslim women. These attacks led to hundreds of local men [Black, White and Asian] going onto the streets to defend their womenfolk from the racists. We were THERE and there are hundreds of people local to the area who know what happened and saw it.
The racists did go into Whitechapel later that night. They were chased by hundreds of youths down the road opposite East London Mosque. Hundreds more of young men stayed to defend the East London Mosque and were gathered outside of the building. There were several hundred men inside the Mosque by this time.
It is true that women were attacked that evening in Whitechapel by racists. Women were punched, had niqabs removed, were spat on and one woman had a cigarette stubbed in her face.

As for calling us "middle class wankers" why don't you take a look inside your own nasty organisation? You have plenty of middle England tossers who live in your nastly little closed off worlds that revolve around the suburbs and shires that bred you. You are sucked into the corporate world that is modern football and spend all your money and time following teams that consist of foreign players who don't even know or care who you are. At the weekend you and your counterparts playground fight other similar prats from other suburbs. Most of you still live with your parents well into your late twenties and thirties and rely on your mothers for everything. Half you don't even pay rent to your parents and use your money shovelling coke up your noses and imagining that you are actually hard men, a myth that is quickly dispelled the minute you are on your own and not with your Chelsea / West Ham moron mates. You do this into your thirties and forties.
The EDL's LGBT wing embarrases many of you because you are "hard men", "proper men" aho drink lager, snort coke and watch football before trying to pull at the weekend. most of you go to prostitues [together] becuase most women won't have you and your beer guts. You hate that guy from the EDL's LGBT wing who goes on your marches carrying that pink triangle but you don't say anything too loudly in case Trevor Kelway [a gay man] hears you.
You are racists who privately hate Guramit Singh. You have made facebok pages about Joel Titus with pictures of golliwogs on. You rioted in Dudley because the large number of racists among you took offence to the Asian woman speaker and her Black boyfriend. No one from the UAF or "are Muslim gangs" threw things at you. you rioted because you are largely a group made of NF, Combat 18, Blood and Honour and BNP. You have said that your leadership "refuses" to get rid of BNP Gold card [sacked by BNP] Chris Renton [John Sheridan]. Without him you wouldn't get numbers out on the streets and you know it. You call the Sikhs against Sharia wing of the EDL "fucking Pakis".
Your opposition is one that is made from working class, unemployed, middle class and upper class people who fucking hate you and what you stand for.
You were told by the police in East London that they won't be able to protect you if you go there on Sunday 20th. This is because most people whatever their background don't like you and we are coming to East London in our thousands on Sunday to march against you, you fucking EDL Middle England, middle class mummy's boys.

Re : The undercover police and "anticipating" it. Participating you mean?

SHIT STIRRER WARNING! @ anon

18.06.2010 15:52

@anon

no edl went back to whitechapel that night and you know that. You got pictures? You reported the attacks to the police? Where are the women who were attacked? What roads? Are there pictures? Have they done interviews with the newspaper? no no no and no. And who is your 'we' who saw all this?

No I tell you what happened is that edl?/police?/state?/uaf? shit stirrers like you started putting out inflammatory texts that said muslim women were being attacked and raped and that brought hundreds of kids back onto the streets, and when kids get like that it only takes one more story and they are all running down the street after ghosts.

And you hoped there would be a race riot and loads of kids would be knicked.

anon, I suggest you are either a nazi or MI5. If I am wrong then you are just a wiberal UAF muppet tosspot and either way you are playing into the hands of the EDL, the nazis and MI5.

Re : Your crap.

18.06.2010 20:29

I don't know who sent the texts that went out. I notice that you concentrate on the blaming women for anything in the texts and ignore the bit that claimed a boy had been killed.
What happened that night was not caused by a text. The people of Whitechapel are rather more clever than to pile into the streets because of a text. You think that hundreds of people went onto the streets over a text? They went onto the streets because racist EDL and their BNP, NF etc mates went into Whitechapel and abused and attacked people.
You sound very much like an EDL muppet. As for your ridiculous claims that because I am against the EDL that I am UAF or a Nazi [one and the same thing according to the EDL] or even ha ha MI5, that's typical of an EDL wanker trying to excuse what the EDL did. Then you claim I'm a wiberal.
If anyone was trying to cause a race riot and get kids arrested it was the EDL for going into Whitechapel in the first place and the racists who went there later.
Several hundred men spotted the racists who had attacked women earlier and chased them. Most people who live in E1 know about it. Are you trying to say that they chased imaginary people? You really think that all those men are that stupid?
If women have been attacked and are scared and traumatised they are unlikely to go to the newspapers for an interview, even less so if they are South Asian. When a woman has been attacked and is recovering she doesn't think "I know, lets go and do a newspaper interview".
There were men outside the Mosque who did not claim that there had been any rapes or deaths but more accurately described the attacks that did happen.
The EDL are a fucked up group who should be proscribed and banned.

@anon-liar the provocateur

18.06.2010 22:23

who are you anon?? ;)

you claim the " racist EDL and their BNP, NF etc mates went into Whitechapel and abused and attacked people." so tell us where and when please.

you then say and backing away rapidly imho " If anyone was trying to cause a race riot and get kids arrested it was the EDL for going into Whitechapel in the first place and the racists who went there later." so now you are not so sure what happened later are you? earlier you said it was the EDL! and in this age where everybody has a camera phone did no one get a pic??

then you say " Several hundred men spotted the racists who had attacked women earlier" what all at once?? what they appeared at the Mosque? give over! think through what you say before you write it as it is ridiculous

" and chased them. Most people who live in E1 know about it. Are you trying to say that they chased imaginary people? You really think that all those men are that stupid?" so sorry, lets be clear here! You are saying several hundred young fit british Bengali men chased these racists, who must have been around for a while as apparently they were attacking women, and who had been drinking all day, yet none of these thick racists was photograhed or caught?? you are making it up mate! it is simply not plausible.

"There were men outside the Mosque who did not claim that there had been any rapes or deaths but more accurately described the attacks that did happen." what you were there were you? so why did you not see any of the women or the racists? 'several hundred" other men did.

" The EDL are a fucked up group who should be proscribed and banned." i think Indymedia is not for you fella. please piss off/crawl back to the BNP/EDL/IFE/MI5 or Searchlight where your provocation and ambition to cause a race riot will be appreciated.

let us be clear- we on indymedia oppose all fascism whether EDL, BNP or IFE but we do not fall for people who want to start race riots
