Call out to counter Pompey EDL Demo: Saturday 17th August

Pompey Antifa | 11.08.2013 08:57 | Anti-racism | South Coast

Anti-Fascists to meet at the fountain, Commercial Road, Portsmouth 12 noon on Saturday 17th August to counter the EDL and NF. Check relevant websites for updates.

Portsmouth EDL has announced it’s intention to march in the city on Saturday 17th August.

This time they are upset as they have found out that a disused building in Portsmouth has been sold to someone who is going to turn it into an Islamic School. There are quite a few people who do not like the idea of private schools, or religious schools for that matter, but the fact is that if it was any other religion the EDL wouldn’t care (have you ever seen them outside a Catholic School?) – They see this as an opportunity to stir up racial tensions in our city, just another stick to beat our peaceful Muslim neighbours with. Ironically it was only a few weeks ago that they where jumping up and down over an issue with Muslim kids observing Ramadan at Charles Dickens School, but when the Muslims try and set up their own school the EDL protest that too….Basically whatever our Muslim population does the EDL will jump all over it, it’s blind hatred. The poster above also states that they are protesting against ‘Grooming Gangs’ – again a savage attempt to convince the limp minded that all Muslims are paedophiles. We feel it should be pointed out that there has never been such a case anywhere near Pompey. Unfortunately there were a few sick bastards living in Portsmouth who were convicted in 2011 for being part of an international paedophile ring – but the EDL do not care about that as the paedos were white and English. The story of that case can be read here:  http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/nov/02/portsmouth-paedophile-ring-five-guilty . Seriously, the EDL marched in Portsmouth in 2011, not a peep! They are also famously bad at kicking out nonces from their own organisation.

It seems that the EDL is perhaps not quite as untied as they appear from the outside. Portsmouth Division Leader Mickey Bayliss (a West Ham supporter who lives in Bath) did not want this to be an EDL march but a march for all far right groups. In the end he did not get his way and it was called in the name of EDL – so Mickey invited every Nazi from Southern England anyway. We have received information that Bayliss invited all sorts of groups including the National Front (NF) to what he calls ‘a rascals day out at the seaside’. Please note that the most of the NF are not from Pompey – but are invited here on behalf of the EDL by Bayliss.

Obviously as the EDL has no real support in Portsmouth they have called in help from all surrounding EDL ‘divisions’ including Bournemouth, London, Sussex, and Suffolk.

The last time the EDL staged an official march and rally in Portsmouth they disgraced themselves – here’s what the Portsmouth News reported at the time:
 http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/opinion/city-has-sent-clear-message-that-racism-is-not-welcome-1-2875310

The Portsmouth EDL seems to be made up of two different types of people. The first type are the hardcore fascists and racists, probably totalling about 30 at the moment. The second are the bulk of those who will attend and are the brain washed conspiracy theory nuts – there are actually people in the EDL facebook groups who believe that their kids are going to be forced to study Sharia Law in school rather than learn English and Maths – we shit you not!
So Pompey once again braces for a tide of human filth to spill onto our streets, we can only estimate they will draw in about 200-300 people. There are many more decent minded people in Portsmouth. If we include surrounding area’s such as Gosport & Havant the population is about 860,000 – and 20,000 of those are Muslim! It’s time for people to unite, to get out of their houses and tell these racist clowns to go home. Times have been hard and communities are suffering enough, we don’t need dividing along the lines of religion as well! We say all out on the 17th - fill the streets, let's send these morons who hide behind our flag back to the sewers they crawled out from!

Portsmouth UAF has a facebook event here:  https://www.facebook.com/events/162876940569078/ The important thing is to get on the streets! Keep checking for updates!

You will find us on the shop and factory floors.
You will find us on the terraces and in the pubs.
You will find us in the mosques, temples and synagogues.
But most of all you will find us united on the streets, and we hope you’ll join us.

It was Nick Griffin who supported Islamic terror

12.08.2013 22:51

Usual bollocks for the EDL trolls. In fact it was far right leader Nick Griffin who supported the Islamo-Fascist regime of the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran, and it was Nick Griffin who travelled to Libya to try to grovel funding off Muslim terrorist Colonel Gadaffi, shortly before the Lockerbie bombing. Griffin and his far-right cronies CHOSE to distribute thousands of copies of Gadaffi's "Green Book" in the UK as well

Nice try dickhead

The Connaught Arms is a shit pub that supports the EDL

14.08.2013 22:19

Here are some reviews of the Connaught Arms from a popular pub review site:

This pub used to be OK, but has gone down hill over the past 3 months or so. From speaking with regulars I gather the Landlady's kids are into the English Defence League - since this happened it has turned into a social club for racist thugs .... Avoid at all costs. probably the most unfriendly pub in the area. Lets hope something changes as this used to be a nice little community pub, although it is used by away fans during match days.

I take it the rating for this pub has been carried over from the previous landlady's time, now dire, worth about 2/10

Myself and my girlfriend went here last night. We were taunted by the people in the pub and made to feel very unwelcome. The staff were friendly and told us where to go and find some food but we left rather sharpish.

Change of hands, and not for the better

Please note that the telephone number given for the EDL-supporting Connaught Arms is out-of-date. It is now a private number unconnected to the pub
