Press release: Amsterdam anti-fascists call out for resistance against pro-Wilders EDL demonstration.
On the 30th of October the notorious racist hooligans from the English Defence League (EDL) are planning a demonstrative gathering on the Museumplein in Amsterdam.
They do this to express their support for Geert Wilders while he awaits the verdict in his prosecution for hate incitement en discrimination. They also want to use this event to launch an pan-european movement with new divisions formed in the Netherlands and France.
The EDL are an mixed collection of racists, neo-Nazi’s and hefty hooligans who in Great-Britain organise regular demonstration that most of the times end in brutal violence against random members of the public, cops and counter protestors.

The EDL are an mixed collection of racists, neo-Nazi’s and hefty hooligans who in Great-Britain organise regular demonstration that most of the times end in brutal violence against random members of the public, cops and counter protestors.
Only last weekend 1500 cops in Leicester couldn’t prevent that boozed up and drugged out EDL members broke out of their demonstration and vandalised multiple shops, attempted to storm an mosque, attacked journalists en assaulted migrants.
At a previous solidarity demonstration with Wilders masked EDL members chanted repeatedly racist abuse.
Prominent figures in the EDL are several members of the fascist BNP party, lots of hooligans convicted for serious violence and the notorious Northern-Irish terrorist Johnny “Mad Dog” Adair.
Also within the recently launched Dutch branch, the “Dutch Defence League” you can find very controversial figures. A prominent role seems to be reserved for the extreme-rightwing professional activist Ben van der Kooi, an regular member on anything between Pim Fortuijn remembrances too all out neo-Nazi demonstrations who in 2006 only on a technicality got cleared of arson in an Rotterdam mosque.
Like Wilders the EDL/DDL offer no solution for the very real problems facing our society but only spread their poison of hate and intolerance.
Because of this, Antifa!-Amsterdam and AFA (AntiFascist Action)-Netherlands call out everybody to come to the Museumplein on the 30th of October in resistance against this racist scum.
They appeal to anyone fed up with the tsunami of hate, discrimination and intolerance that is engulfing the Netherlands at the moment. An appeal to anyone who no longer wants to see how people are oppressed and pitted against each other. They call out for everybody too, each in their own way but loud and clear, show that day that enough is more than enough.
Because like someone recently said at an information evening organised by AFA “If the EDL are an indication for what awaits us if Wilders gets his wished for paramilitary’s then broad but uncompromising resistance is an bitter necessity”.

I wonder.....

Holland has a strong history of anti-facism as mentioned above, so will the EDL prove they are willing to turn up to a demo in force where the odds are stacked against them and police support will be less favourable or will they mumble excuses into their pints like in Bradford scared of getting a proper kicking?

Antifa - hound these edl gutter rats all day
19.10.2010 12:16
In Leicester the edl took advantage of the lack of local organisation and went on a bullying rampage, attacking and abusing ethnic minority residents and smashing up shops. As a result they are now full of confidence and believe they are unstoppable across the UK. This is a mistake, they have no real understanding of the shit storm they have created. But we have no chance to get at them for a few weeks. Time is critical here, they are growing daily.
A demonstration of their weakness in Europe will slow down their recruitment of 'winning side' gutter rats. It will also depress their army of facebook keyboard warriors, whose racial supremacist rants become more extreme and open by the day.
After seeing them up close and reading their shit for some time, I'm convinced that they are 90% concerned with physical dominance and 'taking the streets'. They need a big lesson that it goes two ways and that they are at risk by using this strategy.
If European antifa can do this you'll be celebrated in Leicester for many years to come. I thank you all.
Leicester payback
Viva Antifa and Ajax

Ajax, don't be intimidated by these muppets , if you come to England in numbers they'll shout and rage on their keyboards but they'll do nothing. You have shocked them badly.
Leicester old school
