I like this. Its raw and a bold cultural signifier. Its an urban affirmation, its real and artistically accessible. To me it says the fash must be bashed and who here would disagree with that?
A much better statement than some offensive commercial twaddle selling some shitty product or other.
who says the streets should look boring and uniform its like a gaol for your mind
Sorry but you agree that someone else with a different opinion should be beaten? Regardless their politics are you not being the full circle of what Fascists belief hold with 'ruling the streets' and tactics they play with?
As much as you can disagree with someone, everyone lives in this society. Challenge their views and beliefs and with enough opposition you will send them in their place. These are dangerous people, for their beliefs are prejudice and an illness to society.
Be it the religious nutters/fanatics like Abu Qatada or the EDL organizer Tommy Robinson, fascism comes in all shapes and forms.
I like the reasoning from "i don't like art", but why was the bowling club targeted specifically? Are there fascists who play there or was it just a convenient canvas?
This is kind of a weird post with immediate reactionary comments which makes me suspicious. Was it posted by an opponent of anti-fascism hoping to get more information?
And @wishy-washy liberal: fascists are authoritarians. If you don't bash them promptly they will end up bashing you, and worse. Organised state-sanctioned violence to protect a ruling class and their interests is an entirely different thing to individual violence against those who would seek to enslave you.
Could I ask you to put up the "Brilliant Advert For Anti Fascism" because this post only has a photo of some mindless graffiti that was probably done by a sixth form student who has yet to discover girls.
Lets face it - its crap isn't it? Will it cause people from the bowling club to say "Ain't the anti-fascists great!" Very doubtful More likely the opposite
Yes, its an "advert" but I suspect it will have the opposite effect of what is desired. All people will see is the Nazi symbol - which is offensive. Therefore people will think the graffiti is offensive (which it is). It is a graffiti featuring a Nazi symbol is all people are going to see.
Someone has got to pay to clear it up. Who's pocket is that going to come out of?
Looks suss to me , original article in T and A had more photos ,either a Juvenile with not a lot of sense or a crap attempt to discredit anti fascists , Can't remember any one ever spraying ''Bash The fash '' on a wall before [ It's been used as title of a pamphlet in the past ] there was also '' remember '' Goose Green 82 '' sprayed which seems a bit weird but the EDL tossers have started trying to ramp up Anti Argentine hysteria .....As the T and A stated '' Bizarre Grafitti ''
it was just an idea, at the time it was funny you know, but then it just got silly and people were getting threatened, so i backed down, it wont happen again!!!
we did it by organised campaigning, week after week year after year. This is either someone with the right intentions targetting a fascist cell at the one of the clubs or more likely a bnp tactic to get hate against antifascists. The falkland islands should either be a UN protecterate or part of Argentina, but Admiral Galtieri& the argentine regime that took the island were a real fascist regime who systematically murdered trade unionists& human rights activists. My grandad was a austrian antinazi who joined the polish airforce& RAF due to Adolf & his backers,whilst he fought my gran had to survive attacks& escape siberia after the nazis& stalinists invaded poland together. My great uncle fought in the resistance to nazis& soviets on the ground in the Ukraine, helping lead a vfierce bloody guerilla war against stalin after WW2 that went way too far, in hindsight this only benefitted oil, arms&banking groups like Bilderberg Whilst we are the stage we are now I feel strongly that peaceful means are far better at treating this sickness that stems from the current system needing a serious democratic upgrade economically& socially. Until we get somekind of effective global magna carta that upgrades the way things are currently nazis& other sociopaths need to be monitored& treated like the sick people they are, bashing them unless its in self defence doesnt help. Blocking&protesting sociopaths marches+gathering worksVwell& if some attack we are well with in our rights to bash those attacking&defend ourselves appropriately& if video recorded detain them under citizens arrest. Same goes for blocking sociopaths invasions of countries like Iraq or Iran, instead of going on A to B marches sometimes we need to halt& hinder the war machine by peaceful means that does as little damage as possible. The British army& the UN is sadly misused, but a real defence&civilian emergency force is important& despite Churchill caving in to Stalin & the manipulation by banking groups like Bilderberg, we should be vproud of our British grandparents who stopped Hitler & in the name of all must stop anymore aggressions.

Hardly guiding society forward or getting your points across daubing this on walls that hold no significance or being a Bowling club in this case.
