Occupy Newcastle attacked by EDL

30.10.2011 15:19 | Occupy Everywhere | Social Struggles

News just in from Occupy Newcastle



This morning at about 4am, the camp was attacked by 20-30 EDL supporters, who had been demonstrating earlier in the day. I think people are still okay, no one was hospitalised… but protestors where held down and punched and kicked. Bricks where thrown and an occupier was stamped on. The police were called, it took them ten minutes to arrive, by which time the EDL thugs had vanished. The occupiers are understandably fragile today, and attempting to rebuild their camp.

Shameful antifa

30.10.2011 17:38

A number of antifa were present in the day when fascists surrounded us.
For all their sillly fighting talk, they chose to hide behind female comrades.
The fascists openly mocked them, calling for them to stop hiding behind the police.
antifa stood stood as close as they could to the police.
Shameful.

truth of the matter

>> The fascists openly mocked them, calling for them to stop hiding behind the police.

Like all this bullshit - people seem to think this is important.
Who cares!?

Theres always 3 groups at this place, the fascists, the anti-fascists and the police.
The first 2 groups spend a lot of time pretending how hard they rather than doing anything.
99.9999999999999999999999% of it is shouting and jesting at each other.
0.00000000000000000000001% is actually doing what they talk about.

And then........ when it is all over......... they both get on the Internet and each go on about how much better they are and how "we showed them....". In reality, it is a lot of HOT AIR, and nothing happens because you are both too scared of the police and have to stand around with your hands down your mates trousers giving each other handjobs about how hard you are.

"Mocked"?!!!! WHO FUCKING CARES! I can sit and be mocked for 10 hours straight and don't give a shit. Because the mocker actually is unable to get an erection and actually put do what he is talking about.

SAD!
Its just an extension of the school playground, where the police are the teachers and the kids have to go "Fuck you, were hard" and the other group go "no, fuck you, we are better"

FUCKING LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you and your buddies are took down by surpressive flack on the battlefield, you don't just sit there and "Mock" the enemy. You lot sound exactly like the type of guy who wouldn't give his buddy covering fire because you were worried about using up you ammo.
Standing around and doing lots of hand waving and making sure you got pictures that show there are more of you and who is standing next to the police, and who has got the most flags is fucking pathetic.



laughing at the losers who think they are hard

Who provoked who?

31.10.2011 10:25

The English Defence League has expressed sympathy with the occupy movement stating that they are also angry about bankers bonuses and them being bailed out by tax payers. They have also never expressed hatred against any groups other than muslim extremists. However many in the occupy movement have expressed strong hatred against the EDL. It is therefore likely that EDL members were the ones who were provoked first. They probably came to look at the occupy Newcastle camp out of interest but were met by a hail of abuse and then reacted violently.

have "many in the occupy movement expressed strong hatred against the EDL"? where? how did the edl find out?

i find it hugely unlikely the a bunch of largely wishy washy middle class protesters even expressed any knowledge of what the EDL are, let alone expressed strong hatred for them or attacked them first. in fact i find the idea completely ludicrous.
