A nasty little bunch of right-wing chancers are organising a Rally Against Debt to show public "support" for public service cuts, scheduled for 11am to 2pm at Old Palace Yard, Westminster, London, May 14. The Rally Against Debt is organised by UKIP and the Taxpayer's Alliance - one of those Artisto/Tory-funded "grass-roots" organisations like The Institute for Economic Affairs, Adam Smith Institute and Coalition for Peace Through Security (anti peace movement group of the 1980s) etc that take fantastically expensive office suites around Westminster when genuinely grass-roots campaigns are perceived to be having too much success. The Rally Against Debt is semi-famously supported by professional glutton (restaurant reviewer) Toby Young, who obviously won't ever seek state funding for his planned "Free School" for fear of being branded a total hypocrite!
Given that even The Daily Mail admitted 500,000 people marched against the cuts on March 26, if the Rally Against Debt manages to attract more than 200 twits I'd be impressed. Coalition of Resistance have dropped plans to oppose the Rally Against Debt, but, just for a laugh, here a few ideas to wind them up...
1. Dress very smart, join their march, and display huge banners to newspaper and TV cameras saying "Support the Cuts - Keep the Poor Out of Oxbridge", "Sell the NHS to Richard Branson", "A&E? Who Cares!", etc
2. Seeing as how much the EDL hate anti-cuts protestors, message EDL activists through Facebook and You Tube and encourage them to show up at the Rally Against Debt
Have fun ;)

EDL "supporting the true racial nationalism of the NF" (sic)

"Over sixty members of the National Front backed up by around forty supporters from the EDL marched on Saturday morning through Newcastle centre to Grey's Monument, the traditional rallying point each year for the North-East Region's St. George's Say Assembly. NF members applauded a march past of the Royal Fusiliers and presented them with a St. George's day flag! About eighty Communist trouble causers turned up but scurried behind police lines when they saw the size of the Front turn out. After a short ceremony and speech by Simon Biggs, the Front and supporters marched back to their starting point. A fantastic result for Newcastle Front and good to see a section of the EDL who are supporting the true racial nationalism of the NF."
