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.

We need to fight the fascists - and not just the obvious ones like the EDL - we need to fight the day-to-day fascist practices of the government.

Can't say anything nowadays without being called a nazi or islamophobe.
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.

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!

The website link is a phoney, too!
The real UK Fightback does not post such comments about zionists. This was probably posted by Trevor Kelway AKA Lord Of The Trolls.
Old Trevor has half a brain unlike most EDL FASCIST TWATS, and likes to play mnd games, especially trying to paint anti-fascists as anti-semitic.
There's only one problem with this, Portsmouth Tit, it is against Indymedia rules to impersonate somebody else.
How glad I am that Porstmouth were relegated last year from the Premier League, you racist wanker!

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.

Is this the right game...

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?

"Troll Fragmentor" is right that the post attributed to UKF is a fake, but wrong that s/he saw me in Luton

UAF are a mix of people organised by the SWP Trotskyists,Trotsky was murdered by

This all happened over 80 yrs ago though & since then anarchists& trots foughts stalinists together in the spanish civil war.
Liberertarian socialists still disagree strongly with the dicktatorship of prole snafu & swp paper sellers etc still get told to get lost on demo's by libertarians who usually organise the antifa blocs& or the mdl blocs rather than the UAF
Thanks for your enlightenment Mr Tolstoy, lets look at the bigger picture,
Stalin & Hitler invaded poland together triggering ww2, trots& anarchists fought that also, joined by the British.
Anarchists continued the fight against stalin& inspired the insurgent ukrainian army the largest gueralla independent force to fight stalin after ww2, the fighting was intense & dirty, I know because my great uncle was one their leaders.

***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
Andrews of Tideswell
