The EDL have announced the date for their 'march' in Tower Hamlets

Thedaprole | 25.06.2011 10:07 | Anti-racism

"The English Defence League will be taking our message into the heart of militant Islam within our own country on September 3rd...

"...The last two years of demonstrations could arguably have been dress rehearsals for this one.
For too long now this cancerous infestation has been allowed to spread & it is now time to help stop the rot, we urge all who love this country to attend.
The time has come to show the world that the Lion has now awoken, we will no longer be silenced or kettled in by the government or its police.
We go where we want & when we want, so lets show our strength in numbers & unity, it is time to get off your keyboards and get your feet on the street
United we shall stand divided we shall fall, as patriots and defenders of this our great country.
NO SURRENDER!"

The above abstract is copied from their own announcement on Facebook.

The thought of the racist fascist EDL coming to East London fills me with total disgust and dread as to the damage they're going to inflict on the local community.

Being of the non violent persuasion, and seeing as they are patently looking for a serious punch up, and have announced no cooperation with the police, this is going to be extremely messy.

So it won't turn into another Cable Street riot, what do you think can/should be done?

Charlie Flowers is the guy who held the megaphone for (recently resigned) EDL leader Guramit Singh outside Tate Britain, when Guramit Singh announced all Muslims should "burn in fucking hell"

This is the left's last chance

25.06.2011 12:44

The left makes the error of assuming that all EDL supporters are 'meatheads'. Let's leave aside the irony that during the Miners Strike you would have cheered on - and romanticised - the same demographic that composes EDL demos. It is also worth understanding that there are far more graduates and postgraduates who back the EDL than your stunted imaginations can conceive of.

However, Tower Hamlets will be a trial of physical strength. If the left, backed by Bengali youth, can't prevent the EDL rallying here then the game is up. There was a time when you could have overwhelmed any 'right wing' street protest; those days are gone forever. It has been amusing to watch the dawning horror of left wing activists as you have been forced to scale back your initial ambition to 'smash the EDL' - 'whose streets? our streets!', 'if it wasn't for the coppers, you'd be dead', etc - until we have reached a situation where it is the left's demos and even meetings that are under threat.

Tower Hamlets is your last chance to maintain the fiction that you are the majority and you set the terms of political trade on the streets of the UK. If the EDL holds an event on the 3rd then they will be entitled to tell the truth to the left: you're shit, and you know you are.

Hate to tell you

but Guramit hasn't resigned. He's still very much in the EDL :-(

Ok then

25.06.2011 13:05

EDL types - what are YOU going to do to make sure the EDL 'march' in Tower Hamlets doesn't turn into a Cable Street riot?

It'd be great if some of the EDl actually took responsibility for their actions instead of saying 'it was the commies/lefties/UAF/muzzies that made us violent! We wouldn't have said racist things if they didn't make us!'.

Come on - actual pragmatic, non violent solutions. You haven't achieved it so far in any of your other events, and from my observations, the intent from the vast majority of EDL supporters is to cause violence and mayhem, so forgive me for judging you by your consistent past actions since your inception.

Anarchists are far worse than nazis. Anarchism doesn't work for a start so stop living in a dream world and get real.

Well actually....

28.06.2011 21:46

Ok - do you know what an infidel actually is? Yes, it is a 'non believer'. It's what muslims call non muslims.

Do you know anything about East London? Yes. It's in the eastern part of London. It's where Alf Garnett and the Cockney Rejects come from...Oh and West Ham FC. It was bombed to fuck by the nazis during the war. It used to have large docks and was filled with REAL English people. Not so much nowadays.

Do you know anything about Tower Hamlets? Yes. It is infested with Muslim street gangs. It has a very dodgy council and an even dodgier mayor. It's also where that scab cunt George Galloway likes to hang out and make death threats to the EDL.

Do you actually know anything about Islamic extremists? Yes. They are scum...That pretty much says it all really.

Do you have any knowledge whatsoever what you are or represent to the vastness of civilised people? Yes. We are the people. No Surrender!

You deluded idiot. The EDL don't target "extremists". They target all Muslims. Now fuck off back to the sewer.
