Croydon EDL Division beaten at Whitechapel Tube
Whitechapel Anarchist Group (repost) | 15.08.2010 15:58 | Anti-racism
Last night (Saturday 14th August) members of the Croydon Division of the EDL (English Defence League) got turned over while flyering at Whitechapel Tube Station by locals. Having had a busy day waving Israeli flags in Central London (Monmouth Street) in support of the cosmetics retailer Ahava, the Croydon Division of the EDL wrongly decided to stop off at Whitechapel Tube Station late Saturday evening when returning from a meeting in Essex.
After flyering for about 30 minutes the English Defence League – whose presence in the East End has been clearly made unwelcome before – were attacked by a group of youths. It is believed that one key South London member of the EDL was put in Royal Hospital due to head injuries, but nothing serious. When will they learn?

You faked a "press release" against the IFE that you claimed was written and signed by Muslims. You faked many many signatures on it including those of the Tarling Community Center in East London and Bangladeshi Youth Movement.
You claimed that an Asian Muslim youth gang who NAMED "chased" you and then "beat" you having "mistaken" you for EDL. You were not "mistaken for edl"...some of you support EDL and are Islamophobic all on your own. The EDL now use this "incident" to write about "violent Asian Muslim youth gangs" and use it as ammo.
You are opposed to the East London Mosque and London Muslim Center. You did NOT stand with them the way you claimed but were there to defend LARC from the EDL. You asked EDL not to go to East London because YOU wanted to oppose the Troxy event, the IFE, ELM and LMC and the EDL were "ruining things" for you "locals".....half of you don't even live around there in actual fact.
You claimed [falsely] that the Muslim Defence League "threatened" you ans sent you "anti white racist messages" which is pile of crap. They did not. You then BANNED the MDL from a London anti racist event and said that they were not welcome. It is THEY who are directyl affected by the EDL...not YOU.
One of you is so Islamophobic he is regularly asked if he is EDL.
WAG are anti religion...and are even more anti Islam which they claim is homophobic.
One of you contacted the EDL and said that you were doing your best to stop Islamism in East London. Not one of you is Muslim but see fit to do this "on behalf of Muslims".
If Indy delete this on account of your friendship with some of WAG / the Red & Black club etc that would be a shame as people need to know the truth about WAG and their Islamophobic members.

There is nothing wrong with being Islamophobic
15.08.2010 17:43
I don't like a lot of things. Islam is one of those things, yet people seem to jump on the bandwagon and say that I can't not like it. Unless we have suddenly started living in a though-police state, I can think and like and dislike what i want to without anyone telling me otherwise.
So fuck off with your preaching and stop being violent to people who have different opinions to your own. Either that, or fuck off back where you came from.

It's true about WAG. They claimed that an Asian gang attacked them
15.08.2010 18:29
Why did you fake that press release and all of the signatories names on it? The person who did that is the one in need of help and is much worse than any internet troll.
You WAG are Islamophobic and suppport the EDL. Oh and by the way that banner drop you claimed credit for was done by a DIFFERENT anarchist group in London. Not you. Wankers.

English Defence League facebook page openly that he and WAG have been campaigning against Islamism in the area. WAG campaigned against the IFE and an Islamic confefence in Tower Hamlets. They leafletted in Whitechapel against the conference. They co wrote a controversial letter against the IFE. The IFE [and others] have since counter claimed that most if not all of the signatures were falsified on the letter which was apparently intended as a press release. The letter has only ever appeared on the Whitechapel Anarchists website, a Workers Liberty website and on IM when it was posted on IM by a WAG activist.
There was an an incident in Tower Hamlets when Asian youths attacked the Whitechapel Anarchists in relation to some of WAG being connected to the EDL and following a meeting at the Praxis in East London where some of WAG made Islamophobic and pro EDL comments at the meeting which caused outcry at the meeting held by the UAF, East End United, East London Mosque and London Muslims Center and the Osmani Trust.

To the EDL : You are being used by Zionists.
16.08.2010 02:20
Why are EDL campaigners protesting with Zionists outside Ahava? What does this have to do with defending ENGLAND?
Why did you protest with the Zionists outside the Israeli Embassy when the Freedom flotilla was attacked? BRITISH CITIZENS were shot at for doing charitable work and you defend the country that shot at them? You call this patriotic of you?
You are being hoodwinked by Zionists who want a race war in this country and don't care about the people in it. They hate Muslims because they are Zionists and that is it. They want a civil war in Britain for their own ends. When this happens they will use the instability. What sort of patriots want to create a civil war in the UK? Close down places of work? Patriotism? No ...you are not being patriotic. What are doing about the IRA? Making silly pictures that contain an Israeli flag and the Red Hand of Ulster? What on earth? Wake up!
The creation of "no go" areas along the lines of racial division is the fault of councils not the people housed in them. A friend of mine who is Black have said of their estate in Hackney "...why have they housed only black people on my estate? It's horrible as my white friends and my Aisan friends don't want to come here and it's boring". Is it her fault or anyone elses on that estate that the council has created a ghetto area? Of course not. What the EDL is doing by going into Whitechapel yelling E E EDL after you've put pigs heads on mosques etcis going to make things worse not better. How are you going to create a more mixed tolerant Britain for everyone by behaving like that?
The problems with housing need to be addressed so that "no go" areas are not created.
Back to the Zionists in the EDL...I'm sure that most of you didn't join the EDL becuase you support Zionism. You joined because you want the troops out of Afghanistan and want our troops supported. When MAC attacked the troops in Luton did anyone ask just who ARE this MAC REALLY? Are they real Muslims? Zionist troublemakers perhaps......
You joined EDL because you don't want the country taken over by people who don't want what's best for Britain. Do you think the trouble making Zionists in the EDL want what's best for Britain? A civil war that will result in less jobs, economic break down, more problems...Who wants to ruin Britain? The Zionists in the EDL do.
Did you join the EDL becuase you want more work? Well..erm..do you think that shutting down whole towns and cities so that ordinary blokes and women can't earn a living is patriotic? It's not. Who's behind this? The Muslism? No. It's the EDL and the Zionists.
EDL = wrecking Britain on behalf of Zionists.

Yeah, what he/she/they said!
Lets have some balance here, does anybody have a video of the first poll-tax riots in 1379 so we can see if anarchists were responsible for that too. Some mobile phone footage would be OK!
I've looked on you-tube but there's nothing.

No they are very much not off the point.
16.08.2010 17:45
No the point is that you are advertising the Enema Donkey Laxative prior to tearing Bradford apart in a major riot. The commentators on IM are simply making an arse of you.
Which isn't difficult I can tell you.
Anybody who starts talking about having to go to Bradford to oppose them is simply encouraging people to turn up so pissed up secret pink knicker wearing white skinheads can trash the place.
And another thing...end the occupation of Afghanistan, bring the troops home.
Charles
Just checking.
16.08.2010 18:30
Which I see from the previous post I have, so ignore this...except the end the occupation of Afghanistan bit, don't ignore that bit, that's important.

Paddy Ashdown is a former military man and like most military men is well versed in what it is to have the locals telling you they love and adore you, only to find they've given your position, weapons and troop strength away to the enemy five minutes later.
The Afghans aren't stupid, They know exactly what to say to make you feel that they don't pose a threat, but it only lasts until you turn your back.
When it comes to the real truth of the loyalties of war, military men don't know shit from shoe polish!
I'm glad you want the occupation to end. The politicians are talking rubbish, the generals horse-shit and the media want lining up against a wall. IM is the only place where something close to the truth is being told.

Charles, I'm beginning to think that you are not so bad after all.
When will "anarchists" realise that not everything is about them. You think that everyone who write on IM / mobilises against EDL is an "anarchist" when that's a false assumption.
To the person who wrote the original post you need to remembe that it's EDL who are violent. Don't forget that bit ; )
The EDL is not about a government insitigated class war divide and rule. It's about Zionism. Take a look at the photos. Israeli flags everywhere.
What's your opinion on Palestine Chas?
