There are many more of us than them - BPP's massive mobilisation

Yorkshire anti-fascist | 19.10.2008 12:12 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles

The BPP's massive national mobilisation turned out to be a rather damp squib. 11 fascists (including a kid) huddled together outside HMV protected by lines and lines of cops. around 400 anti-facsists were joined by scores of locals who, on being told what was happening, stayed to say that the BPPs filth won't be accepted in Yorkshire.

For the first few hours the anti-fascists spent their time chanting, jostling for space, pushing the police lines back towards HMV and pondering where the fash were. A few people were arrested (according to the info I heard) and several people were attacked by the cops. A Section 60 was in place and cops were violently ripping of scarves and hoods and face coverings.

Eventually people began to decide that the BPP weren't going to show and those outside of the police lines started to slowly disperse. Rather luckily (in a bizarre way) the bulk of the people present were either penned in or unwilling to leave the people in the pen so the majority of the crowd were still around when the lads and lass of the vanguard of Britain's Race War trickled in.

Their 'handful of guys with a megaphone' chanting was completely drowned out by the chorus of booing and chanting from the assembled anti-fascists. After less than an hour they realised that they were completely wasting their time and asked to escorted away by the cops. A few people dashed round the buildings in time to see them being driven away in taxis (ironically by asian taxi drivers). The fash were booed and spat at but the numbers around the side weren't enough to get at the fash past cops with batons out. So far as I know, everyone made it home safe without any trouble from wondering facists.

I saw no coppers with batons drawn nor did I see any one spitting on the 'fash', what time did this happen? I was there from eleven o'clock and stayed until the 'fash' left.

It might be worth working closely with the Asian Taxi drivers, I’m sure it could prove very fruitful :-)

I was wondering if the BPP would like to offer me a compensation payment, i laughed so hard when i saw all 10 of them being driven away with a police escort in taxis driven by asian lads that my sides actually split, i had to have 82 stitches and i'm now recovering in hospital, doctors say i'll probably never laugh so hard again in my lifetime!

Split sides

Someone spat at the fash as they left in the taxis, which prompted the cops present to run at us with batons drawn.

The demo that wasn't going to be, ended up being. Where were your brave streetfighters? Cuddling the coppers that's where, mugs.

LOL

Lol you really are a wanker aren't you

The counter demo was a resounding success. The reason no Fascists were physically attacked was because the very few that turned up were protected at all times by their mates in the police. And their so called "street warriors" didn't even make it.

How many leaflets did they hand out?
None!

How many people heard them dribble into a megaphone?
None!

How many people read their banners?
None!

All the people of Leeds saw was a handful of oddjobs shaking like a shitting dog behind rows of police. Infact many of the ordinary people of Leeds joined ion the chanting and taunting of McDermodius and her band of bollock-brains which means we got the very people they were trying to convert to their cause to laugh at them and oppose them. A success in anyone's book. And will HMV stop selling black rap CD's because of this demo? Not a chance!

The RVF and all the other wannabe paramilitaries failed to turn up, there were one or two meat heads who sought refuge behind the police before leaving leeds on their toes long before the pathetic excuse for a demonstration failed to get their point across outside HMV. The fact that you try to salvage anything positive from this debacle is an indication of just how deluded you people are, i'd suggest you refer yourself to social services but i fear it's too late.

Right, that's the Brown Pants Party dealt with, now lets use use this monmentum to undermine their PR savvy friends in the BNP.

Together we are strong

I was there from eleven o'clock onwards so who's to say that there weren't members of the rvf/bff there as well?

I've heard figures ranging from 350 too 600 of your members being there now I sure if you really, really wanted you could have surged forward and got a few digs in.

Looking forwards to the abuseful replies.

Watcher, there may have been a few boneheads scattered around, some were definately keeping a low profile behind police lines but by all accounts they scurried off when they knew they'd been spotted. I'm sure if the anti-fascists had wanted to they couldve had an all out ruck with the 100 odd police who were there in order to try and get at the nazis but that would hardly have been sensible, of course if that fat cow hadn't begged for half of yorkshires constabulary to turn up to protect her then the anti-fascists could have done this anyway. Having said that looking at the shape of the BPP i think half of them wouldve have heart attacks if we'd broken through the lines! They'd probably try and claim that as a victory too!

Well said Davos, also ....

20.10.2008 20:38

The B.P.P. (Brown Pants Party) could have declined the offer of a police escort out of there, they did not need to scurry away with asian taxi drivers, they could have simply walked away, if they were with WATCHER ...

LOL - hahahahahahahhahahaahahaha.

Pull the other one watcher, the Brown Pants Party (BPP) bit off much more than they could chew and there widely proclaimed promise the 'reclaim the streets of Leeds' has just become one big joke. The reality is that the BPP cannot survive in the streets without hundreds of Police to protect them.

That grotesque munter Kate has the cheek to condemn those that wouldn't touch her with a shitty stick. And she wonders why they only had 21 wankers on the day??

For you Kate, seeing as you didn't approve it on 'your' guestbook, I'm posting it here so other nationalists can see it, and see you for the cunt that you are.

For the record folks, Kev and his munter Kate are not C18. Watmough runs that website, but that is all. C18 think he's a fucking pratt, which is probably the only thing C18 and you reds have in common. By C18, I mean people like Will, Slaz, Nick, Dave, and the other main players. Actually, even Bart and Jasa think Watmough is a wanker, which is why they never post on Watmough's wankbook.

This is what didn't appear on Watmough's webshite;

Jesus, you are so full of shit Disillusioned.

You've been here for 5 minutes and already you're talking like you've been active for years.

Where were you in 2001 when it kicked off in Oldham?

Where were you on any of the NF's activity days?

How many mosques did you visit to protest at?

How many demo's have you been on before the BPP demo?

You were nowhere, but yet you feel you have the right to shout about people who never turned up to your little demo.

There is a reason for that, the BPP only have a few friends. And as for the ones they used to have, they have been alienated by bullshitters and people stirring it. I wonder where it can be coming from?

Now, fuck off you back stabbing two faced ugly cunt. Yes Kate, I mean you.

Tell the truth in here no more fabrications the Bummers Piss Pot party do enough of that.
There were people with concerns in Leeds on the day that would not touch the BPP with a barge pole especially seeing their own methods of loyalty and the gimps that make it up.
Grassers that they are that aint got a fight between them without hiding behind the Police.
There were certain elements in town that day watching and if it had kicked off they'd have piled in not to save that fat slags back though nor the Hunchback hairball of Leeds.
If you are going to tell the truth on here without fabrication say it how it really is, there were a lot of locals and shoppers denouncing the Antifascist elements and saying what a bunch of scruffy idiots they were and equally the same denouncing the Bummers Piss Pot party.
These are strange times indeed.
What a bunch of lying degenerates those handfull were and that was from a birds eye view
Pete Rushton,Eddie Stanton,Kevin Wankmouth,Kate McDimwit what a bunch of freaks and Eddie still trying to hide his face on the photos with the blue basball hat on what a grass.
Still grassing to feed your vice Eddie?
Hows the swinging goin Kate?

Tell the truth

This lot tell the truth?

23.10.2008 19:43

You've got no chance of this bunch telling the truth, just look at the thread titled 'Neo-Nazi demo shut down in Leeds'.

Shut down? What a load of bullshit, the demo went ahead, but these jokers seem to think they shut it down.

Stick to caning the crack pipe. That's the only explanation I can think of for you arseholes to say you shut the demo down.

LOL

LOL you utter fool

If you hadn't realised (not a suprise as you are the most dense person I have ever met) the above post didn't actually refer to us and how we set your demo on its arse. It was two groups of rival nazi's handbagging each other. Now can you get out ofthe way, me pop corns ready and I'm waiting to watch the fash fight each other.

Do me a favour, the only arse you go near is probably while you're in the toilets of the students union bar.

Well at least he left don't go on hands and knees ot the Leeds met, don't grass their comrades ot the police, don't sell their comrades details for beer money, don't stab each other in the back on websites. We may have our differences, but unlike you losers when faced wit hthe enemy we unite. That is why your sad little demo last Saturday was such a shower of shit. None of the other fascists weould touch the Brown Pants Party with a barge pole, and yet their were "reds" (and red and blacks) of all shades and colours at the demo, hundreds of us compared to your pathetic ten, possibly eleven, fifteen at most. The only bullshit on me Lol you sad deluded fool is that whic h has sprayed forth from your mouth like so much rubbish. Run along back to your dream land, and I'll go back to laughing at your sad failure of demo ha ha ha.
