EDL out of Pompey!

Portsmouth anti-fascists | 13.07.2011 23:41 | Anti-racism | South Coast

This saturday, the English Defence League will try to invade Portsmouth for the second time. We are calling on anti-fascists to stand against their racial violence and oppose the march through the city streets.

Last November, the EDL attacked the local Jami Mosque with stones, bottles and fireworks. 70 anti-fascists gathered within a couple of hours notice and stood firm and unintimidated against a flash demo of around 200. This time, we have time to prepare and get the word out. We cannot allow the EDL to gain confidence in this city and allow them to run wild. Time to nip this in the bud!

We are calling out to anti-fascists everywhere to come and help make the counter demonstration as strong as possible.

As the EDLs plans are liable to change between now and saturday and to avoid confusion, there will be a hotline with information on the meet up point left on an answer phone. The information will be released on the day and the number to call is 07864 657 295.

The meeting place will be near the town centre around midday with a more precise location available on the day.

The EDL are using Portsmouth and Southsea train station to direct the EDL to various muster pubs. This is the nearest train station to the demo but if you'd prefer to use a different station, Fratton station and Portsmouth Harbour are both about 20 minutes away.

The National Front was stopped in Portsmouth and never dared raise their cretinous heads again, it's the EDLs turn now.

See you on the streets!

Muslims extremists get out of Portsmouth! You will not stop us from marching through Portsmouth, there can't be many of you anarchist thugs left anyway since loads of you got nicked for rioting in London on the TUC demo back in march and are now serving long prison sentences for violent disorder and riot. If you come to Portsmouth you will all be nicked by the cops for conspiracy to riot so don't come!

EDL and proud

The number on the call out is accurate and the person correcting it is deliberately misleading people. All phone calls should be directed to the original number.

Why are you defending Islam you fools? I thought you anarchists and leftists hated religion. You will not stop us from marching in Portsmouth, we will march and march again until the threat from extremist Islam is gone!
