Camden Racist Pub. Did porno nazi UDA supporter wreck own pub & shoot windows?

anon | 24.01.2010 17:57 | Anti-racism | Migration | Repression | South Coast | World

Local people believe that loopy nazi John Coyne may have shot out his own pub windows in a bizarre attempt to smear anti fascist activists. Drunken Coyne has been at the centre of a political row and complaints from neighbours regarding his behaviour in the pub and his decision to let neo nazis hold meetings there. He plays loud music until 6am, lets kids in the pub where he watches porn dvds.

Several of Coynes windows were shot out. [They were shot out, not simply smashed...]
Neighbours think that he did it himself in an attempt smear left wing activists and anarchists.
It is also believed that he is part of an Ulster Loyalist group who are trying to establish themselves in Camden having moved in around two years ago. they are believed to have been part of an attempt to extort money from people, sell drugs, run a protection racket, prostitution and other violent and or potentially violent crimes to fund neo nazi politics.
Coyne has become embroiled in a political row including the refusal by Camden Council to let Coyne hold a benefit party to raise money for British Troops in Afghanistan. He gives 20% discount to British soldiers in the pub [with ID] and the same for NHS satff [who don't want to know].

He has let neo nazis the Jobbik party [links to BNP] hold meetings in the pub.

Why would he put up a tricolour if he was trying to frame antifascists? Doesnt make sense.

Also why is this not been reported in any of the local media? I think a pub having its windows shot out would have atleast made local news ?

Curious


Indeed

24.01.2010 18:55

Someone else just questioned that but the post has disappeared. Whats going on here?

Someone sellotaped UAF leaflets to the pub at the shooting & put up Irish flag

24.01.2010 19:34

There were Camden UAF leaflets sellotaped to the pub. The UAF asked locals to remove them when it was reported to them and have of course denied responsibility for the shooting of the windows.

The Camden New Journal have been notified and does not come out until Thursday and the Camden Gazette comes out on Wednesday...the rest of this HAS been reported in the Camden New Journal.

The putting up of the Tricolour is definitely odd given Coyne's position on British Troops and his reported association with an Ulster Loyalist criminal who claims to have served in the British Army and who arrived in Camden at around the same time as Coyne bought the pub.

This shower of shite smells very fishy indeed....if you want to know why he hasn't reported it why don't you ask him? The pub is wrecked. Maybe he dosen't want the world to know he watches porn where kids can see it....he barred all the locals etc ...what IS going on with this weird pub? Why has he let the ultra right wing neo nazi Jobbik Party hold meetings in the pub?

He needs to go.

The pubs chalk boards claim that the pub is "under new management"....as Coyne's wife takes over.....

Camdenish


People wot live here have seen the windows - shot with big holes

24.01.2010 19:44

Holes....big, holes.....

Have you any idea how many shootings there are in London that go unreported?

24.01.2010 19:50

There are many, many gun crimes occurring in London, including Camden every single day.

People, especially young men and teenage boys, some still at school are shot..EVERY DAY.

Teenage boys and young men routinely carry guns and ask their girlfriends to hold them..teenage girl gangs have guns...most of the gangs in London use guns and have ready access to them. A pub window being shot out isn't big news around here.

Few of these shootings make the newspapers...that's life here in Camden.

This story

24.01.2010 20:19

Will find out the truth to this story, there is alot of nonsense posted on here that can't be guarenteed as true. Until then, keep the salt close

It isn't nonsense - go take a look.

24.01.2010 20:25

Go and have a look at the pub yourselves. The flag is still there. The holes in some windows are still there. The boarded windows are still there. The leaflets were taken down. Unless you go and have a look then how can you say it's nonsense?

Coyne dunnit

pics posted tomorrow - CNJ will have them...whatever the truth he should pack his bags....

Camden


What is true....

24.01.2010 21:57

What is true is that the Hungarian far right Jobbik Party, part of an Alliance of European Nationalist Movements drafted by the BNP's Nick Griffin have been holding meetings in the pub.

Coyne has barred most local people and regulars from the pub.

The pub was a former IRA pub.

Coyne has, on a chalk board, outside the pub, written that military service personnel get a 20% discount and he did have a banner with Support Our Troops written on it.

The Camden New Journal has said that there was a row of a Support Our Troops fundraising night at the pub.

Two windows have been completely boarded up. Others are broken and have small round holes in them. An upstairs window has a hole in it. Some windows are cracked but not broken.

There is a Tricolour flag in the back of the pub, outside. It was put there around the time that the damage was done say locals but they do not know who by or exactly when.

There is, in bright red paint, Close BNP Pub, on a wall belonging to the pub to the rear, near the back garden.

There is a chalk board with Under New Management written on it and the rest of the chalk boards with Service Personnel get 20% discount is still there as it was before all this happened.

Coyne does watch porn in the pub and does let children into the bar.

He is Irish but I don't know where from and his politics seems a bit confused.....

It is true that the UDA / UFF / NF / BNP / Combat 18 etc are all linked.

The Camden New Journal have been to investigate the attack.

Someone did tape a Camden UAF flyer to a dustbin outside but that could have been put there afterwards by someone which they should not really have done as the UAF do not know about it being put there. Some local people do think Coyne did it but as no one saw what happened [it's said] then we'll never know who did it or what sort of instrument or weapon was used on the windows or who put the flyer there.

It is true that gun attacks are not that unusual in the Camden area according to hospital staff and hospital staff treat gunshot wounds each week in London. Many don't get reported or make it into the paper unless someone is killed and then not necessarily. Not all cases get reported to the newspapers etc.

The CNJ have covered this when it happened and will publish something on Thursday.

Just because someting can't be guaranteed is true doesnt mean it isnt

26.01.2010 00:34

This story has been authenticated in the Camden New Journal so is therefore true. Coyne has indeed let neo nazis the Jobbik Party hold meetings in the pub and there is a photo of the protest.
There are links between Ulster Loyalism and Neo Nazis which is a proven fact. Coyne is behaving like one with his support for the British Army as is seen in these photos and therefore is likey to be a Loyalist and by association connected to Ulster Loyalist groups who in turn are connected to UK nazis. His decision to let the Jobbiks in to the pub adds weight to this.
The neighbours have complained that the customers etc from the pub have urinated on their walls, played music so loud all night long that they have been kept awake, sometimes for days. The CNJ confirms as do council reports that the landlords let children into the pub.
I don't think he wrecked his own pub but he drinks so much that anything is possible from him.
The damage to the pub is consistent with being shot at. No matter how much the person who says they are Camden Anarchist says this is nonsense it isn't and I don't reccommend anyone to drink in this terrible pub as this is all true.

media sources...

27.01.2010 11:05

"authenticated" in the Camden New Journal.

Like we need the mainstream media to "authenticate" for us. We are supposed to be a independent media collective I'm sure we can authenticate ourselves.

@iccus Finch


Thank you @iccus Finch

27.01.2010 11:52

Surely this is the point of Indymedia? The mainstream press tell lies half the time. The Evening Standard were told and refused to turn up or print any article about this. As you can see from the photos this happened and we have been told that the pub has lost their license and have been evicted.

To Camden Anarchist [Seth But True]

"There is a lot of nonsense posted on here, the truth will come out in the end, until then keep the salt handy".

Just because something hasn't reached your ears doesn't mean it's not there. If there is a UDA and EDL combo attempting to form a cell in Camden they are unlikely to tell you about it. If this has been uncovered by someone then it should be taken seriously. John Coyne was an Irishman letting nazis into the Gloucester Arms and raising money for troops. It is possible that the Jobbik Party didn't just happen on this pub by chance and that there is something bigger going on in Camden. If there is another bunch of UDA / EDL supporters in Camden it is likely that they are violent and dangerous people who need stopping.

Johnny Adair was expelled from the UDA for killing John Gregg [Grug] also ex NF

28.01.2010 18:20

There is a chance that his bunch of neo nazis could be plotting or trying to form a new group and Camden appears to be becoming more and more nazified. Pub was proper nasty and it serves Coyne right.

Camdenite


Coyne has been evicted by police and brewery

30.01.2010 08:59

He's gone and innocent illegal tenats are occupying the pub and waiting for emergency housing which explains why lights are on.

"Camden Anarchist" was an imposter not a real anarchist

30.01.2010 09:01

And...we know who you are ...you UDA piece of shite.

anon


To clarify [for the thickos] about the UDA "Camden Anarchist" imposter

30.01.2010 11:15

The post from "Camden Anarchist" was not from an anarchist, Seth or otherwise.

The person writing as "Camden Anarchist" is a scumbag UDA supporter of the lowest denominator and supports the lowest denominators in the UDA and who are respected by few.

We are watching you ; )

The EDL are and were nothing to do with this pub. Soldiers snubbed the pub.

08.04.2010 01:43

The English Defence League are and were nothing to do with any of this and had nothing whatsoever to do with the pub.

Soldiers snubbed the pub and never went in there. It's not their fault that Coyne tried to court them.

All comments re EDL in Camden are to be disregarded in relation to this pub.


Coyne is a tosser and that still stands.

Normal pubs in Camden raising money for troops will be supported.

09.04.2010 01:08

The Gloucester Arms was a racist dive and that's it.

Any other pubs in Camden raising money for troops will be supported.

The reason this was brought up is because Coyne claimed to be an Irish Nationalist and his buying a former IRA pub and then behaving like this was weird. He was causing other problems ie with the noise, children and porn.

Camden supports our troops.

anon


Whatever his politics on Ireland he was evicted for being an overt racist.

16.04.2010 02:52

He was a nutter who upset people with the Jobbik Party meet, banning everyone on the estate etc. Most of the people affected by his pub and wanted him out are not involved with Irish politics.
