Retraction: EDL and Stabbings
EDL News | 13.09.2011 21:40 | Anti-militarism | Policing
We published an article yesterday casting doubt on the claims that two EDL members were stabbed outside the Tyburn Pub in Marble Arch, London.
We now accept these stabbings did happen and anyone with any information should contact Westminster Serious Violence Team on 0207 321 9314, or Crimestoppers anonymously.
We published an article yesterday casting doubt on the claims that two EDL members were stabbed outside the Tyburn Pub in Marble Arch, London.
This followed their disgraceful and disrespectful behaviour when they met up with Muslims Against Crusades and started shouting and brawling in the street during and after the 9/11 memorial for the British victims of the terrorist attacks
Despite extensive enquiries to the Met Police and local hospitals no one could verify it so we assumed that it was a story along the lines of the coach insurance fraud and the faked attack on leader Kevin Carroll.
The Met Police have now confirmed the incident here:We now accept these stabbings did happen and anyone with any information should contact Westminster Serious Violence Team on 0207 321 9314, or Crimestoppers anonymously.
We do however stand by the origional report published here.

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/09/484531.html) so it makes sense to carry the retraction. Indymedia does not endorse the appeals to co-operate with the cops. This appeal has come from the euphemistically titled EDL News, it's therefore a reflection on them and their politics.

Why stop this tradition now?
We just don't understand why so many people hate us so much.
Maybe if you stab us harder we'll understand...

I havent had the time to look through the Indymedia founding statement, but im pretty sure that posts on the website encouraging people to co-operate with the Police in any way should be removed.
If EDL members get stabbed it's their own stupid fucking fault. Even if you disagree with this, surely no one who moderates this website believes that policing, courts and prisons are the way to resolve anything.
This site should never be seen to collaborate with the police in any any context.
If it does, it risks smearing the social movements attached to it.
If this isn't taken down soon this will present some serious issues.
Thanks

Indymedia assists the police?

That is utterly insane.
So you are basically saying that if there was information relating that would aid in the capture of a serial killer who is targeting innocents teenage girls, that it should be removed! Just because you have a chip on your shoulder about the police!!
I also assume that you think a bunch of amateur sleuth anarchists are going to step in and solve the crime. When is the last time anarchists have actually solved a murder?
You are an idiot. Maybe you want to live in a world without police, but the rest of us don't,
Too many loonies like you out there for starters.

Hardly a reason to abandon all your principles and grovel to the OB is it?
The only thing that concerns me is that it might have been distressing for onlookers and its certainly disgusting in the context of a 9/11 memorial. Apart from that, they deserved it - shame a few more MAC and EDL didn't end up in casualty.

My guess is that if any witness had seen the stabbing and had an inclination to co-operate with the pigs they'd have done it by now.
One can only assume that if you'd seen the stabbing and then seen this repost on Indymedia you'd feel a sudden compulsive urge to be stupid enough to go running to the cops and get yourself into the witness box.

The EDL is not fascist or racist!
