UK Nazism's Plan D - the "White Pride" demos!

Lee | 09.04.2014 23:40 | Anti-racism | Public sector cuts

This 5 April 2014, around 40 Hitler-worshipping berks attended a "White Pride World Wide" demo in Swansea. An estimated 7,000 people protested against racism in London, this 22 March.

Over the last 15 years or so, Plan A for the far-right in Britain was, in electoral politics, the idea of getting the BNP's first MP elected, by pretending the BNP aren't Nazis. That failed. Switching their strategy to protest politics, Plan B for the far-right was the idea of building-up a powerful street-movement, by pretending the EDL aren't Nazis. That failed. Plan C was to pretend a host of tiny EDL splinter-groups (from Casuals United to the March for England) aren't racist either. That failed. Plan D was finally to copy the Golden Dawn in Greece, by (for a change) openly stating their Nazi beliefs, and seeing whether that might work, hence the "White Pride World Wide" demos in Swansea in 2013 and 2014. Did that also fail?

In 2013 less than 100 racist knuckle-draggers came to Swansea, stood around in front of police snappers and anti-fascist photographers for a bit, then, even more helpfully, posted pictures of themselves on social media, providing a minor intelligence bonanza for the anti-fascist movement. The fruits of these Nazis' stupidity is available here...

Wise to the extent that their 9 March 2013 demo had harmed themselves, in 2014, this April 5, most of the Nazis who'd attended in 2013 stayed home, leaving around 40 Hitler-worshipping berks to heed their Fuhrer's call, and apply the time-honoured Fascist strategy of trying to make a poorly-attended demo look a bit less embarrassing by flying lots of big flags. In contrast, an estimated 7,000 people, from all different social, ethnic and political backgrounds, came together to protest against racism in London, 22 March 2014.

Of course there are more important battles than confronting a bunch of planks like the Swansea "White Pride" mob in the state they're in now, however; 1/ until the BNP were flattened in 2010, the far-right in the UK experienced years of constant growth, and it was critical to defeat these morons before their successes snowballed further, and before they could exploit the impact of austerity, 2/ taking-on the combined might of the vested interests who create austerity is a tough call, but wrecking the plans of the far-right was readily achievable (and very satisfying) 3/ Fascist groups across the world experience huge encouragement when their allies in other countries enjoy success, so opposing Fascism in the UK does a real service to people who are struggling against more powerful and more threatening Fascist movements overseas, 4/ as always, the bottom line - if we can't defeat Fascism when it's weak, we won't defeat Fascism when it's strong.

Despite huge (albeit indirect) encouragement from sections of the mainstream media, Fascist groups in the UK have failed to cross-over, and failed to sustain any long-term engagement with any significant section of society. Of course Fascism will never be completely stamped-out, and of course anti-fascists should never be complacent, but the various strategies of the BNP, EDL, NF and Casuals United etc have (for the time being) all decisively failed.

Looking recently at photos of the far right - such as these and the so-called English Volunteer Force's day trip to a gastro-pub in Brighton you see that they are, with a few exceptions, predominantly old, tired looking men.

And!

and majority of the Anti fascists look like they are still wet behind the ears with zero life experience. So much for the 'workers united', more like Students on Benefits!!

Yeah right

..... so that explains why, with 7000 people attending, the recent anti-fascist demo in London outnumbered the biggest demo UK Fascists have EVER been able to organise. Dream on Sherlock

The supposed Cardiff White Pride just looks like another genius ruse by Jeff 'Joe Cardiff' Marsh. At some point he might realise that constantly calling demos that will never happen only ever fools other fascists who then spend all their cash travelling up and down the country to sit in pubs on their own.

I guess the trip to a gastro pub was MfE/SEA/EVF/EDL/MBI's group photo outside Belushi's. Not most people's idea of a gastro pub, but I guess they have pretty low standards.

Someone on here is obsessed with that fat cunt Marsh, hes long gone, you chatting shit about him deflects from the real fascists. Adam Lloyd from Bridgend, fat cunt, green flight jacket hes the main man in Wales, they just fooled the idiots of UAF with a false announcement that Swansea was off, and UAF melted. This is going ahead, Lloyd is arranging, here comes another fash win. Why do we bother?

Dai


Really?

15.04.2014 23:11

Does anyone actually have a source (other than a 'Casuals' United front) for this supposed Cardiff demo then? Has the distinct whiff of bullshit to me, but I guess I could be wrong.

How is a "national" demo, where attendances FELL to less than 40 people, another fash "win"?

And if you want detailed info on Adam Lloyd, click on the links above ;)

Seriously Marsh was not spotted at the Cardiff Lee Rigby march, and has not been spotted at any of the Swansea demos. Hes not active in Wales that much is clear. I'm told that Lloyd and others were boasting that they pulled the wool over the UAFs eyes with a fake announcement that Swansea was cancelled and they want to do the same in Cardiff. Rumours that its fake then they turn up unopposed. They know Cardiff would be a massive result even if theres only 40 of them but if opposed they'd be in trouble there. I reckon its real myself

Point/s taken, but it's still not a "massive" result

Marsh is supposedly living in Spain and running a building compny, which is why he has kept his nut down for a long while. His twitter @wegowherewewant has vanished and it is impossible to find a single one of his dopy balaclava videos on youtube. Safe to say he has surrendered methinks

What a bunch of no hope wankers. What the fuck did they think 40 fat twats standing around in the rain was going to achieve? They've really fucked themselves up here. Promising a big demo then having 40 fat bastards hiding behind the police in the rain actually makes you look like a sad washed up bunch of nobodies, all they've achieved with this is to expose themselves to public scrutiny as being a bunch of going nowhere sad losers with a Hitler fetish that no-one likes and every one hates and no-one really takes seriously.
Opening yourself up to public ridicule at the hands of your political enemies is not the way to win convince the public that you are anything but a load of saddo's. Instead of convincing the mainstream public that you have something worthwhile to offer all they've done is prove what we have said all along - that the white pride movement is a sunk ship laughed at by all. They've done our work for us here. Silly fuckers.
