EDL Plots August Race Riot in Bradford

Weatherman | 29.05.2010 14:48 | Anti-racism | Migration | Repression | Sheffield

The violent fascist EDL have confirmed they plan to inflict Bradford with Britain's deadliest-ever race riot in late August. Having cancelled an earlier visit to the multicultural rubble-strewn wreck of a city, the racist street-fighting army of football hooligans and hardcore white supremacists will invade Bradford, unleashing a pandemonium of ultra violence with chisels, bottles, knives and petrol bombs.



Token non-white EDL organiser Guramit Singh announced the EDL's devastating plans to a newspaper journalist, (later confirmed by the leadership) that Bradford would be "hit!" In the words of this religious bigot and self-styled anti-Muslim extremist, The EDL's invasion will be "huge!"

Every British racist will descend upon Bradford over the bank holiday weekend to destroy multiculturalism, including disillusioned BNP members, BPP, NF, and self-proclaimed Odin-worshipping Aryan "white wolves". If they are not stopped, in a matter of hours, the tolerant multicultural city will be turned into (byegone) Beirut, with an orgy of outright racial violence, tit-for-tat revenge attacks set to last on throughout the bank holiday weekend.

In Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass), which paved the way for the Holocaust, mobs of brainwashed racist thugs rampaged through the streets of multicultural cities, burning, looting and destroying Jewish houses and shops, displacing and murdering entire families, their rabble-rousing racist venom shared by the so-called "British Nationalists" who continue to openly worship Adolf Hitler on far-right websites such as VNN and Stormfront.

The presence of a provocative Israeli flag, and the window-dressing of less than half a dozen non-white members (accused of being "Uncle Toms"), fails to disguise the EDL's inheritance of the catastrophic nazi legacy. Avoiding the media spotlight after a number of lower-key demonstrations including attacks on KFC take-aways, lulling the authorities and politicians into a false sense of complacency, millionairre Alan Lake and his EDL footsoldiers are launching Bradford's most deadly race riot.

On Saturday August the 28th, wearing face-masks, making Hitler salutes, and armed with chisels, hammers and bottles, the drunken EDL army will march from Bradford Interchange to the Turls Green Lloyds Bar (Wetherspoons), set upon absolute carnage and mayhem at the exact same site of the devastating riots of 2001. While making worthless promises to the police that they will behave, once in Bradford the EDL's thugs will kick-off their orgy of hate, incitement and terror to finish the riot-stricken city, once and for all.

Bradford is not a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. Since the Salman Rushdie affair, it's home-grown Muslim community is religiously-moderate and if it's a question of patriotism, consider how, last December, 1000 Muslim worshippers donated £5 each in a single collection for the Cumbrian victims of flooding, including a policeman who died rescuing householders from danger. And recently, Manningham's Muslims have set up successful scout and cub groups.

Beyond the spin of media-savvy apologist (Lord Haw Haw of the EDL) Trevor Kelway, lurks candid old-skool race hatred. Check out Facebook, YouTube, and every other site where EDL supporters inhabit, and discover raw, old-fashioned loathing of immigrants, black people, Jews, and gays and lesbians, besides Muslims. Once out in the open, the EDL's facsist faithful come out in their true violent racist colours, threatening to maim, murder, and conduct acts of genocide upon anybody who happens not to be white.

It's easy to dismiss EDL regulars as a bunch of brainless pisshead hooligans, but when the opportunity to ignite the UK-s worst ever race riot looms, expect hundreds of hardcore neo-Nazis to get in on the act. Down the road from Bradford in Batley, in January, former soldier and BNP member Terrance Gavan was jailed for 22 counts including collecting information useful for terrorism and possessing explosives and firearms. He had been plotting to murder Asian people in Dewsbury.

Inspired by David Copeland, Robert Cottage and Martyn Gilleard, meddling with firearms, explosives and chemical weapons, a flurry of extremist pyschopaths lurk in the wings of British Nationalism, cashing-in on the loss of interest in the ballot box since the decline of the BNP. Such individuals pose a significant terrrorist threat, and see the arrival of the EDL in Bradford as the green light to wage a white supremacist race war on the streets of Britain.

In 2001, less than forty NF and BNP racists from outside of Bradford were able to create a large-scale race riot which still casts a shadow over the city today. This time there will be more than two thousand neo-Nazis descending upon the city.

In the days and weeks leading up to the 2010 Bradford Riot, EDL organisers will exploit Facebook's "misguided devotion to free speech", infiltrating young white Bradfordians on Facebook with racist myths and lies about Bradford's Muslims which will create the backdrop of fear, mistrust and untruths that will turn the city in on itself, setting the seal for the lasting descruction of this once-proud industrial city.

The riots of 2001 lasted mere hours. August's riots will last several days, as community harmony is irreversably destroyed with sporadic eruptions of street violence, as the outsiders ignite local tensions stirred by toxic Facebook myths.

Beforehand the council and the police will visit Mosques, warning young Asian people not to protest against the EDL, threatening a repeat of the disproportionate sentences handed out to Asian rioters who threw a single stone (back in 2001), but with a whole community under threat, and the Unite Against Fascism offering no practical opposition to counter the EDL's arrival, all warnings will fall upon deaf ears, violent confrontation inevitable.

Accused by many of being state-sponsored, since Tommy Robinson's "secret interrogation" in Sheffield, the EDL have noticeably been treated with kid-gloves by the authorities while continuing to chant racial abuse, and assault and threaten non-white people without being punished. Outnumbered by a vast number of EDL supporters, if the police are seen to "take sides" by taking no action against racist chanters, World War III will kick-of, shoppers, pensioners and families with little children, caught up in the deadly crossfire.

Bus drivers will be beaten-up threatened with their lives, curry houses, taxis and Asian-owned shops will be smashed up, chaos descending to the inner cities, the impoverished council estates, and the outer-suburbs. If the EDL are allowed to strut willy-nilly through Bradford, there is only one outcome, the next Lord Scarman/Lord Ouseley waiting in the wings to pen the post-riot report, when the dust has settled.

On the day of the riot, Unite Against Fascism will preach to the converted up by the university, away from the city centre, a handful of trade unionists making well-meaning but pointless speeches, while Bradford burns, leaving it up to the younger members of Bradford's Asian community to take direct action by themselves, leading to the inevitable Asian versus white confrontation.

Bradford's marginalised British Pakistani community has a history of defiance against violent fascism, reflected by hip hop acts such Fun-Da-Mental, and they will not stay at home because the police ask them to. Ironically, many of the people who will take to the streets, are not devout Muslims, making a mockery of the EDL's assumptions.

Kevin Watmough, Wigan Mike, Liam Pinkham, the British Freedom Fighters, the Racial Volunteer Squad, and assorted BNP, BPP and NF neo-Nazis pouring into Bradford, every active British racist will be there in Bradford to destroy multiculturalism in broad daylight with their boots and fists.

Since the last major riot, many shops have moved out, businesses have collapsed, and jobs have been lost. The Odeon Cinema is rotting away, and half the city has become one massive hole in the ground. Only last week, another Yorkshire Ripper-style mass murderer "the Crossbow Cannibal" was arrested for murdering prostitutes. Black, white or Asian, impoverished long-suffering Bradfordians just want to get on their lives in peace, not suffer the mother of all race riots.

The EDL must not be allowed to invade Bradford.

(No EDL sympathising trolls, please. This is Indymedia not Stormfront!)
