EDL receives beating in Amsterdam

Amstadamma | 30.10.2010 16:13 | Anti-racism

EDL (well some of them) went all the way to Amsterdam te be kicked and humiliated

EDL van window

After antifascist announced resistance the mayor of Amsterdam decided the EDL had to demonstrate somewhere in the Western harbour aeria, otherwise they might be stumped by angry antifascists. But even there they were recognised by local inhabitants and chased back to their stupid van (and needed the police to protect them)

see little film of that

Great that Ajax fans had also mobilised to fight them, the call was to "not tolerate fascists in our town".

There was also an antiracist counterdemonstration elswhere in town, with a thousand people.

We'll keep alert in case the EDL-hooligans try to start fights in the centre of town, like happende yesterday night.

So why were the English 'Defence' League in Amsterdam anyway?. Anything to do with their mate, Git Wilders, or was it Gene Wilder?

Obviously none them did get a beating, as is shown later on in another video without a mark on them getting into their slightly damaged mini bus.
What was the hestation for at the beginning of the video, when the anti fascists are stood in front of the EDL.?

They walkeed behind them and waited to they got into their mini bus, then started kicking the mini bus, cracking the front windscreen and smashing a small window on the side.
Acutally the EDL got back out of the mini bus and the anti fascist did back off, as is shown when you can see an anti fascists doing some sort of ballet kick into thin air at the front of the mini bus while backing off.
Hardly the battle of Cable street, just a minor scuffle, I actually don't think a punch was landed.

What did fuck up the EDL's day was the Dutch police. They made the EDL have their demo in a shitehole in the middle of no where.

Well, the people who chased the EDL back into their van were mostly local kids, not organised antifascists or something. Then the police came, with their famous plain cloth goons and they chased the edl-bashers (and protected the EDL) otherwise their van would have been surely smashed up further. So the police protected EDL, not the other way round as 'peter' is trying to suggest.

Peter, fuck off you EDL troll- nothing that you will write will change the fact that EDL got completely humiliated. It was Dutch pigs that saved your skin this day so better be grateful to them ;) Everybody can see that on the video and mind you, that was just local kids, not Ajax firm with Antifa. Oh, also forgot to mention one of your "ladz" that had to go back home with broken leg and no travel insurance? What a joke you lot are :)

Brilliant!!

Great work Amsterdam Antifa/AFA, locals and Ajax fans!!! We salute you!!!

Goes to show the EDL are nothing but cowardly racist bullies - when the odds are in their favour the give it the big one, attacking innocent families in restaurants, lone members of the ethnic minority communities etc. but when the boots on the other foot (or up their arse) they run, hide behind the police, hide their colours or don't bother going at all, same as in Bradford - odds against them, only 700 turned up, (only 60 in the Dam!!)

the EDL form is now awash with recriminations, in-fighting and threats against Ajax fans - talking of massive retaliation and hate against Ajax and its supporters if they come to England.

Looks like their plans for a masterrace-hidden-behind-concern-over-Islamic-extremists has taken a major step backwards!!!

Not a punch thrown

They had the EDL stood in front of them and they did nothing.
Walked behind them, then started kicking the mini bus for about 5 seconds, until the EDL got out and the police arrived.
Not a single blow landed.
But we are to believe the EDL got ''battered''

One EDL halfwit got his leg broken, I'd call t hat a bit of a battering!
