EDL Tower Hamlets Update

1. As of midnight on Thursday, EDL Bradford, Hull and Rochdale divisions are struggling to fill their coaches for Saturday (which sounds promising but the EDL turn-out could still be high), scroll down through their Facebook page to read the relevant comments...

2. EDL's Facebook is instructing their supporters to muster in Euston, from where it says they'll be escorted to Tower Hamlets by the police...

Quote: "Please muster at the following public houses
The Euston Flyer, 83-87 Euston Road, London, NW1 2RA
O'Neills, 73-77, Euston Rd, London, NW1 2QS
At 2pm we will make our way to the demo point so if you are not at one of the above you won’t be going... Once we have gathered at the muster point we will then be escorted by police, in groups of 200-300, to Tower Hamlets and the site of the static demonstration. However, we have today received a warning from the police that until we reach the demonstration site, we will not be allowed to raise our flags or banners, and that anyone doing so will be removed from the area."
3. Can't say for sure if what the EDL say on Facebook is or isn't true and/or plans won't change, but anti-fascists should put scouts in Euston to report back to the main counter-protest in Whitechapel, also possible some EDL will muster elsewhere as well. Anti-fascist counter-protestors should stay alert, stay mobile and keep looking over your shoulders ALL the time - at the first sign of attempted kettling move briskly away from the police, and use cameras conspicuously to film police ID numbers and discourage police violence. Finally for anyone who thinks the march ban is restricting EDL's free speech 1/ they'll be marching from Euston to Tower Hamlets anyway so the "ban" is a joke, 2/ even on a static protest the EDL are still free (at least within race relations law) to say whatever they damn well like, so if certain people could stop whining about this that'd be appreciated ;)
Fuck Islamo-Fascism and Fuck the EDL

Complain to this address, rather than the manager whose hands will be tied, about the EDL using their pubs, and cite wetherspoons as an example of a pub chain that refuses entry to the EDL.
On the other hand, its looking more and more like this whole thing is going to be a mess. Coaches cancelled through lack of interest in Stoke, Middlesborough and Liverpool. EDL begging members in west yorkshire, with no avail, to fill up coaches in in Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Bradford. A lot of whining about keyboard warriors and a realisation that what they are getting into will probably not end well.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your recent email.
The situation regarding the English defence league’s recent announcement has been investigated and as a result we will not be opening tomorrow.

Fantastic response, full respect to them. I'll be sure to go in and drink in there when I'm in the area from now on.

O Neills Euston also banning EDL...

Our primary concern is operating safe premises at all times for our staff, customers and the wider general public. We’d therefore like to be clear that as a precautionary measure we will not permit the pub to be used as a meeting place ahead of tomorrow’s march.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to take Police advice in order to take the appropriate course of action as required. If there is any reason to close the pub then we will not hesitate to do so."
So that's both the original Euston pubs. Just need the Kings Cross ones to do the same :)

julia pendry in charge of cops tomorrow

she's a smart one - knows how to make people think the cops are onside and friendly but at the drop of a hat she'll order them in to beat your brains out. be warned she has a long history of dragging you in with friendly community policing and then sending in the troops.
