30 EDL outside Old Bailey today - probably there again tomorrow

antifascist | 06.06.2013 12:57

Approximately 30 EDL were demonstrating outside the Old Bailey today for the sentencing of the men accused of planning to attack an EDL rally in Dewsbury last year. Unfortunately no anti-fascists opposing them.

They were there from their advertised start time of 10am. About 12.00 Tommy'n' Kev showed up to do their pieces to camera. Lots of media coverage for them and as there was no opposition the EDL got to wander around and spread their views to lots of construction workers and office workers on their lunch break. They have currently retired to the Viaduct Tavern opposite the Old Bailey.

The sentencing is two days. So the EDL will most likely be there again tomorrow. Might be nice if someone was there to oppose them tomorrow.

The EDL are not fascists and do not worship Hitler!

The EDL are not fascists and do not worship Hitler. The real fascists are communists and anarchists who use extreme violence in pursuit of their political aims.

Not a fascist just a hater of trouble making leftists .

According to  https://twitter.com/CourtNewsUK - "One EDL protestor arrested outside Old Bailey. Contingent booted out of the Viaduct pub by cops."

Even without opposition and when there are barely 30 of them they manage to get arrested / rowdy / drunk.

Photos below were taken about 2.30pm, a little while after the @CourtNewsUK tweet above.

I expect another small group will be back tomorrow - why not let the pub know whether you think they should allow the EDL to use their pub again?

Any more photos?

07.06.2013 10:26

If you or anyone else has photos from yesterday please post them or a link to them. My mates dad ( in his 60s) got on a train in the area yesterday evening to find a group of lads/dregs racially abusing a black women, he intervened and was attacked. He is out of hospital now with a shoulder injury and stitches (if he gives me permission I will post a pic of his injuries). We cannot make it today but would very much like to visit the individuals in question

I think this was a troll post

07.06.2013 22:48

If antifascists protest here, that will be interpreted as antifascists "supporting" the Muslim extremists - leave this one well alone

Drooker


@pissed off there are plenty of photos on demotix

08.06.2013 09:59

Many on this page now -  http://www.demotix.com/from/europe/united-kingdom/london
(they will scroll off by next week, you can just search for EDL from that page).

The post certainly wasn't trolling drooper - the EDL need to be opposed wherever they mobilise.
