EDL taking to the streets? Youtube video of a mass of white men yelling 'England, England' whilst chasing 'looters/rioters'. Police running along with them?

The EDL has started to call for it's members to take to the streets in what is a worrying development.

I really don't believe the EDL are apart of the 'clean-up' in the way they are portraying it.

As this youtube video shows, this may already be in full swing.

There have also been rumours of mosques being burnt down.

Please pass this around, it aint confirmed but if it is true we really need to consider what to do to protect.

Reports are filtering through that certain elements are framing some of these events as black vs aisian. IMO it would not surprise me if the 3 lads mow downed and the burning of the mosques in Leeds were down to the EDL or even more 'official' bastions of racism. People need to really challenge this view from spreading else we end up with a lot of blood on the streets.

The EDL and the anti-fast should co-ordinate and work together on this.

At least they are out there doing something

Lets not kid ourselves here, the majority of the looters is black.
I know what aint going to go down well, but dont stick your head in the sand - they are. the evidence is there.

I see the EDL out there trying to protect communties
Where are the anti-fash?
Why aren't they out there protecting people from fascists (looters)?
Why arn't they defending their communities?

Sorry but you are wrong

To the above poster, for evidence I take all the vid clips. What I am seeing are people from all backgrounds being involved. This is what the evidence shows mr EDL troll.

Yeah - right now they're bottling the cops in Eltham.

I'm sure the community are going to be delighted that their "protectors" are behaving like the "rioters"

irony watch

We need a repsonse form the antifascists

10.08.2011 21:04

Antifascists, you guys and gals talked nationally yet and got response to all this? I really hope you talking about a unified national response.

This shit just got real...

10.08.2011 21:12

If the video above is right innocent non-white people are going to get beaten maybe killed if the EDL are allowed to roam like these reports suggest. This shit just got real. I can just see the first deaths occurring if it does not calm down and Cameron declaring a state of emergency.

A fair few of the muppet "masterace" have been nicked tonight in and around london which is a national blessing in itself. Meanwhile all colors and creeds reported marching to the scene in birmingham where three asian lads were murdered last night. There's a recent vid going round with edl attacking a double decker bus because it had black people on it

I think Indymedia should not be allowing any publication of any article in which the EDL are mentioned, either in promotion of the group or apparent criticism. The EDL are clearly a nationalist group and the political credo they follow is nationalist in origin. There is a discussion on Youtube about the sociological genetics of the difference between whites and blacks. Its bad enough that the US Corporation that owns YouTube should be allowing this in the UK but its utterly unforgiveable that Indymedia would allow themselves to echo it.

I like Indymedia, consider it a vital voice and have used it for years but this tolerance for ultra-nationalism is going to have to stop. It would be a real shame if Indymedia were to suddenly fall foul of the shifting sands of public opinion in an area in which it is expected to be ahead of the game.
