EDL Routed In Whitechapel
SchNEWS | 15.01.2012 17:23 | Anti-racism | Other Press
SchNEWS spoke to a local anti-fascist “It really was a poor turn-out about 80 of them mostly old guys in their fifties or young kids – no casuals to be seen”. The EDL were cordoned off by police outside Barking Town Hall and exchanged points of view with a small UAF contingent. Later the right-wingers were bombarded with pots of yoghurt from above.
After that not particularly inspiring effort a few leaguers decided to up the ante. Around twenty of them got off the tube at Bethnal Green and pub-crawled their way up to the East London mosque. Attentive SchNEWS readers will know that this was the target of the EDL Tower Hamlets demo[1] back in September.
According to our anti-fascist witness “They were there briefly, shouting 'Allah is a paedo', then almost straight away one of them got knocked out. Within ten minutes there were three or four hundred locals there ready to confront them. There were also TSG [riot police] all over the shop. The EDL were then all arrested for their own safety” Nice one guys!

Why is he likely to wake up to a Muslim Doctor?

Why aren't the Muslim Doctors in the Muslim lands careing for the millions destitute in the Muslim lands?
I'm sick and tired of hearing medical students say they come here to learn to be a doctor so that they can help their people only to see them still here years later with their whole family over here- is that what they really mean- study here to get a visa to work.
Why is it i can't get a work visa for India- surely they can't be racist?
