To think, just thirty years ago, the National Front were forced off the streets by AFA - now, thanks to the return to the streets heralded by the EDL, it is open season for every single fascist organisation to strap up their jackboots and head for North-East England. Thanks to Alan Lake (Alan Ayling), Lionheart, Pam Geller, Robert Spencer, Tommy Robinson, and all the other fascist organisers who helped reswitch focus from the BNP's ballot box fascism to the streets after a twenty year absence, far right manipulators who claimed not to hate Jews, but had no problem encouraging Jew-haters back onto the streets, Hitler-lickers now proudly walk tall once again, in broad daylight thanks to the equally as despicable EDL.

Alan Spence of the North-East EDL was getting his knickers in a twist over the appearance of National Action at the Newcastle war memorial, threatening violent action against them. However, being a former BNP election candidate and friend of anti-Semitic Nick Griffin (who wrote his infamous hate book "Who Are The Mindbenders), it is highly unlikely that Spence likes Jews himself. Moreover, his antipathy towards National Action is a statement of yet another far-right turf war. Nothing more, nothing less than inter-fascist rivalry between groups aiming at gaining prominence the far right scene, rather like rival drug dealers taking action against a gang from out of town moving in on their turf.

The North-East EDL have stood at that very same War Memorial, poppies on lapels, alongside National Front members waving banners, as they did at last year's Toon Pegida demo. Even more damning for the EDL, many members have been photographed making the very same Hitler salute which they now claim not to approve of, as they will be doing once again at Yaxley Lennon's upcoming "unity" nazi demo in Brum.
