EDL coach company targetted
angry up north | 05.02.2011 15:54 | Anti-racism
Last night activists struck at Andrews of Tideswell. This bus company is a known supplier of coaches to the EDL. Eight coaches had their tires slashed, rendering them inoperable for todays protest. This will not be the last such action and we call on others to take up action. The EDL are a distraction from the real challenges facing people, they feed upon the racist, xenophobic culture of the likes of the Daily Mail, promoting a divisive culture of fear. For this reason we took action to stop them.

Ask yourself, would you want your area to become like that, be honest?
The Muslim population in Britain is growing by a massive amount, so more and more areas will become what Tower Hamlets has become.
Anyway, the EDL march was a success, according to The Telegraph, 7000 people attended the EDL march.

If antifa are so fucking hard, why do you strike in the night, like the fucking cowardly middle class cunts you all are.
We are not the old men of the BNP.
Your so fucking scared of us, you never turn up at our demos.
Don't give me that shit there is to many police about.

The English people do not support them as much as you rant and rave they do.Political Islam is an issue. But the labeling of all Muslims has really back fired on the edl,hence there epic fail back to were it all began.
MAC and EDL need each other for there own egos and self importance get real,get a life and do something constructive,800,000 wasted today think what that could have done for Luton instead of a massive police operation keeping you morons at bay,and you say you love england fucking walking contradiction thats what you are.

And no-one answered my question. Watch the vid and ask yourself if you would want your area to become like the area in the vid.

Once again, a massively hyped national mobilisation gets you at best 1500 pissed up hooligans... and as mentioned earlier, just deprived Luton of £800,000.
I wish all 1500 of you would find a big field, I'd chip in for the cheap lager, and you could all batter the crap out of each other until you passed out....... same result for you lot, nicer for the 6,798,500 of us who think your a pain in the arse.

And what did I see some bloke who wants to run a fucking tiny swimming pool with a dress code, why do you give a shit? When the bouncer at a nightclub up town didn't let me in because I was wearing trainers I thought he was a bit of a wanker but I didn't accuse him of stealing my culture (maybe because I had basketball shoes on!).
And then we see a Pakistani woman who is in an abusive relationship she needs to escape, please don't tell me you've come over all feminist now. I wait with baited breath for your Pakistani women's refuge project! You lot are well know for your sensitivity aint ya.
And don't get me wrong attacking people for their sexuality is fucking sick but so is attacking people for their racial background. Round my area we batter muggers because their muggers, we don't ask them weather they are a member of the international Islamic conspiracy.
and whilst were on the international Islamic conspiracy, a video of Ajem Choudry and both of his mates in a basement talking their useless crap always seems to get you lot wet. well ain't you realised your his biggest audience.
And would I like to see my town “like that” well I'm originally from that “town” (Tower Hamlets) mate and its always been poor and its always had a migrant community, often when I go back I nip in for a curry down Brick Lane, much higher standard than where I live now.
And whilst it saddens me to see some people identify with a religion ahead of their class it also saddens me when people identify with a nationality over their class and it certainly don't make me want to become the lap dog of the ruling class that you EDL pricks are.
Aint you worked it out yet, "the clash of civilisations" chat is designed to keep you lot from seeing whose really fucking you over

Hell, the muslim clerics are able to sit outside big ben and glorify 9/11 and 7/7 (see the dane cartoon protests) with impunity - so why can't the edl have their protest?
Something is very, very wrong with this. It will just stir up resentment against Islam more and more. Sounds like a government collaborator job to me

05.02.2011 20:54
The EDL are preying on peoples fears by taking the actions of a few and blaming them on an entire religion,since your inception you have achieved nothing,oh sorry yes you have cost the tax payer millions,and made a few quid from merchandise,of which you state 10% gets donated to help for heroes,how much have the EDL actually donated to help for heroes?
Your veneer has cracked and people see you for what you are.i`d prefer tower hamlets to your shitty vision of England.

I guess since most of these anarchists have served time in prison, they think that they can operate in the same way as inside - through fear and intimidation. Such Racteteers should be punished and made an example of, otherwise the UK is just going to become another shit-hole free-for-all where the most intimidation wins.
No wonder such inner city areas like Tower Hamlets are shit holes.

I think you are jumping 3 steps ahead and taking thinks beyond reality.
Perhaps cameron is just saying what he thinks AND he doesn't side with the EDL ?
It is actually possible. In the same way that people can say that Muslims get a raw deal AND that they disagree with Islamic extremist terrorism.
What you are doing is the same as if everytime someone said something good about Muslims, they could be accused of siding with the nutter islamic suicide bombers.
Get a grip......... people can criticise without being a nazi.
If you are going to say that anyone who says something bad about Islam then you are judgmental nazi yourself.

It is possible to disagree with both you know.
Rather than supporting the outlawing of both factions you are clearly trying to force people into choosing one side or another via labeling them as EDL if a slight criticism is made.
That is the definition of divide and conquer.

Multiculturalism is a very loaded term and I (along with others on the anti authoritarian anti nationalist anti fascist left) do have a problem with the ways that STATE multiculturalism been implemented. Though for different reasons to the EDL or Cameron. I identify my self as part of the international working class and think that defining community by religion or race as opposed to say locality or workplace, can actually foster the conditions for racism.
Incidentally Trevor Phillips OBE of the CRE also has a critique of “multiculturalism” arguing that it can lead to separateness. Though he appeals to as sense of “Britishness” rather than class which of course he would, coming from the other side of the class divide!

To say the EDL are stormfornt is the exactly the fucking mistake the authoritarian left keep making over and over again about the EDL. Now im not saying a single EDL argument is valid im saying that their nationalism has a different form to that of the Nazi stormfront (relationship to isreal being the most obvious difference)
It is to the advantage of decent people to try and understand the motivation behind these parasites on our class.
The fight against fascism is an ideological fight and it is a physical fight it is not a large picture collection fight.

About the some Muslims are racist comments
06.02.2011 01:12
I'm a white man who has lived most of my life in different working class areas with large Muslim communities and I can't remember ever having suffered racist abuse. Now im sure it happens sometimes but the times ive been randomly abused on the street it has been from blokes who look a lot like me falling out of pubs, and that don't make me think that every one who goes to a pub is a wanker.
If some kid said something nasty to you in the street get the fuck over it don't go forming a warped ideology around it.
The EDL (and BNP for that matter) line of “but look they're racist too” sounds a lot like a child caught being naughty grassing up their brother.

So lets stick to the pisstaking & getting the tonnes of info out there like the Brilliant 1million uniteds info supplied by Indymedia.
If you must do actions like this be far more discrete, as the current issue with islam has been sparked by PNACoil wars stop the fuel getting to their engines somehow, it
stopped Hitlers panzers & worked for Monty, it can work here too, no violence necessary.
& before this comment gets a tonne of testosterone back, I advocate self defence on demo's,black bloc & antifa need to stick to being a gaurd group& if the edl attack which they do,then smash & or citizens arrest them.
Lets leave shit stirring to agent provocatuers, this indymedia wants a democratic
revolution not futile acts of rebellion.
Instead of splitting muslim defence league& antifa's+ libertarians should join with UAFdemos& prove we dont rely just on police protection, at moment it seems like most antifa& libertarians are too scared to go into a demo with alot of police around. Right if you mask up straight away, but if your only acting in self defence theres no need to mask up, including if you have to defend yourself against any paticular violent coppers.

06.02.2011 21:19
Do UAF promote these values or do they put their political objectives before the free exercise of the democratic process? It is clear from history that Statist communists would use force to silence all of their opponents not just fascists. Indeed statist communists see "fascism" as "the last gasp of capitalism"; they think that anarchism has roots in the petit-bourgeous and that anarchists too are "fascists" in time of revolution.
The Checka (secret police) raided 26 anarchist centres in Moscow in April 1918, 30 anarchists were killed and 500 arrested. Anarchists attempted to lead another ("Third") revolution against the Bolshevik state in the following months; the Bolsheviks rounded up anarchist leaders and shot them. The remaining anarchists blew themselves up in their last battle with the Checka and the revolution petered out in 1922. To cut it short, the state communists continued to persecutre anarchists; the Tolstoyans in the 1930s were all deported to concentration work camps in Siberia.
So my question is: how comfortable should anarchists be with groups that openly transgress democratic principles on the grounds of opposition to "fascism"? Who decides what is "fascism" and for how long?

***REPLY FROM ANDREW'S OF TIDESWELL*** - *** PLEASE READ ***
Prior to August 2010 we had never carried out such work for EDL or any similar organisations. The day before the protest in Bradford we were asked by a third party organiser to cover a park and ride for a church convention because a company had let them down. WE DID NOT KNOW until we arrived in Bradford what was happening by which time it was too late - if we had known we WOULD NOT have taken on this type of work. IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME AND LAST TIME and we sustained thousands of pounds of damage to our vehicles in Bradford.
We are a FAMILY OWNED & RUN, NON-POLITICAL COMPANY - our normal work consists of carrying elderly passengers on holidays and school children to and from school and on school trips.
Our coaches were dangerously damaged on Friday 4th February 2011 - The damage could have caused the death of innocent children or elderly people.
We HAD NOT PLANNED to carry any passengers to the protest in Luton AND WE WILL NOT we be carrying any passengers to protests in the future.
PLEASE URGENTLY PASS THIS INFORMATION TO ALL CONCERNED AS WE DO NOT WISH TO BE INVOLVED OR WRONGLY TARGETED
