English Defence League plan Leeds Invasion on 31st of October

AnarchoProle | 16.09.2009 21:54 | Anti-racism

According to their Website, which was created by the B.N.P.'s Chris Renton, The English Defence League (not some equivalent of the Academie Francaise but a neo-fascist group of English football casuals and assorted xenophobes) are planning to march in Leeds in October.

The English Defence League has been getting a lot of attention lately from the Liberal press with the Guardian newspaper dedicating two full pages to them this week. They claim not to be linked to the Fascist B.N.P. but they have members and organisers in common, their website was created by a known Fascist and it appears they are trying to put Nick Griffin's assertion that "It is more important to control the streets of a city than its council chamber." into practice. They claim to "only" be against Islamic Extremism and anyone with a dislike for the practices of British Soldiers but their members were heard to shout "I hate Pakis more than you" at the recent Luton demonstration, thus exposing their beliefs and motivations to be Racist as opposed to theological. They are only a small group, pulling maybe 30 people out to their last outing but they are being reported as having forged links with English football casuals of the fascist/far right persuasion and so it might be that they now have people who are willing to travel and form violent alliances in the run up to the World Cup. Their website has very little information on what is planned by them in Leeds in October and it maybe that with it being so close to the Anarchist Bookfair that they may change it to the same day to try and minimise resistance, which is a regular tactic of theirs. The far right have been kept off our streets due to the militant work of Anti-Fa, the 365 Group and many others and as the enemy steps up its activities it is more important than ever that we stand up to them and keep our streets, our cities and country free of these scumbags and their attempts to turns us against one another. On the 31st of October let us show them they are not welcome in Leeds.

No Pasaran!
