The far right English Defence League's Long running problems in London continued today after they turned up in football shirts and swilling beer at a 9/11 memorial ceremony outside the American embassy intent on a drink fuelled fight with fellow extremists, Muslims against Crusades (MAC).
The far right English Defence League's Long running problems in London continued today after they turned up in football shirts and swilling beer at a 9/11 memorial ceremony outside the American embassy intent on a drink fuelled fight with fellow extremists, Muslims against Crusades (MAC).
Whilst families of British 9/11 victims prepared for a remembrance ceremony in the September 11 memorial garden, around 50 EDL members turned up early, sang their 'eleven Muslim bomber, flying in the air' taunts and occupied the area where MAC were suppose to demonstrate.
During the ceremony, chants of 'e-e-edl' disrupted proceedings and among the mourners, they were met with as equal distaste as MAC.
A smaller group of Muslims turned up to protest against both groups of extremists and carried banners reading "Muslims Against Extremism" and "If You Want Sharia, Move To Saudi".
The EDL members had a sit down protest and surrendered when police issued them with a section 14 and threatened them with arrest. Four EDL members were arrested for a variety of public order offences at the memorial service.
MAC are a small fringe group of radical muslims. They are largely ignored by the Muslim community and the British public in general but they specialise in goading English Defence League members with their rhetoric. Without the English Defence League, MAC would not exists and both extremist groups feed from each other's extremism.
After the demonstration English Defence League members headed to the West End where a further 20 members were arrested for brawling with MAC members.
The group ended up brawling outside the Tyburn Pub in Marble Arch where chairs and windows were smashed and two EDL members, Mickey Bayliss and and Tony Hyam aka Tony Bexley were stabbed by local youths after an altercation.
Bayley is a admin for the EDL's south west divison and Hyam is a Enoch Powell supporting racist who was involved in an incident where EDL members attacked the police in Eltham during the London riots.
The London Evening Standard reported that an eyewitness claimed "There was a group of EDL guys drinking outside the pub when a large group of Muslims walked past. The EDL started hurling racist abuse at the Muslims who took offence. They got angry and... were yelling back."
"Then the EDL guys picked up pub furniture and started throwing glasses and chairs and tables at the group in the street*
The EDL's Facebook wall reported the stabbings at around 7pm which resulted in a barrage of racists posts and threats of violent retribution. It is not known who was behind the stabbings or their religion at this point.
A further update on the member's condition later appeared where it was claimed that one of the injured members was 5mm from a knife hitting his spinal column yet their story's credibility dissolved when they went on to claim the hospital had discharged him and he was on train on his way home.
Latest news on the injured lads , one is now waiting for train. Has wound near his spine. 5mm either way and he would be in trouble. Also has a broken wrist. Police taken his clothes and he's got the white suit. So he's ok. The other lad is a bit more serious with a stay in overnight with possible operation. Thats as much as I know now. Goodnight everyone"
In anotehr gusture of massive self importance the EDL released a statemetn on behalf of the British people to the American people. We are currently unaware who gave the far right extremist organistaion the authority to speak on behalf of decent British people.
An Apology to our American friends on behalf of The British Government & Met Police Hierarchy.
We are so sorry for todays events and would like to say sorry on behalf of the British Public. Our efforts to try and stop MAC today, has resulted in two good lads being stabbed, running battles on Oxford Street, Hyde Park - Speakers Corner, Edgeware Rd and all around your Embassy. It is our everlasting shame that our Government is too weak to make a stand against Radical Islam.
EDL members are now calling for a demonstration outside the BBC because the broadcaster didn't deem the alledged stabbing of a pair of their thugs who disrupted the memorial service more newsworthy than the live coverage of the memorial events around the world.
The EDL released the following incoherant version of events where they had to emphasize several times they were not drunk.
This latest outbreaks of violence come a week after 42 members of the EDL were arrested after their coach strayed into Tower Hamlets and they were chased out by locals before being rounded up by police.
EDL News Opinion
Whilst the rest of the world was remembering the victims of the tragic events in America ten years ago, two groups of extremists were intent on disrupting it. Whilst MAC have every right to say what they say under our freedom of speech laws, their message was abhorant. What was equally as abhorant was the English Defence League members turing up intent on violence (their Facebook page was full of violent intent days in the days leading up to the event).
With over 20 arrests and running street battles, the EDL lost any moral high grounf they could he claimed by staying their distance. Both groups have stated that they plan to repeat this act of disrespect on Armastice Day in November. We would rather they both dissapeared from this country permanantly.
These views are echoed by the lone voice of reason the the EDL Wall today
Bill English - My wife lost relatives in NY 10 years ago, her & my take on yesterday was that the EDL should have just stayed away altogether and let the media just have choudry's mongs to focus on. As we were part of the memorial in the square yesterday, I can tell you all that the chants of EDL were met with as much resentment by those grieving lost friends & relatives, as the drone created by those beardy cunts. Those at the top of edl need to stop thinking with the heart & start thinking with the head.
The story of the stabbing appears to be completely fabricated. Click here to read more
