East Mids Anti-fascists: October report

anon@indymedia.org (EMAF) | 02.11.2012 10:55

It's been a month dominated by a battle between Boston bigots: Dean Everitt's anti-immigration demo vs. Elliott Fountain's hard right police commissioner bid. It's not been good for the EDL who've been hacked, stabbed in the back and caught out inciting riots and running community organisations into the ground. And meanwhile the BNP have been praising Jimmy Savile.

The month started with a bang for Leicester EDL's Glen Warren, whose 'Let's Make Britain Great Again' Facebook page was hacked and used to slag him off. Some EDL angels joined in calling Glen a "sick cunt" and a "sexist, racist pig who deserves everything he gets".

Nottingham BNP couldn't stem the verbal diarrhoea on their Twitter account urging their supporters not to vote for the "darkie" in the PCC elections and supporting paedophile Jimmy Savile.

In Lincolnshire, Dean Everitt finally got round to calling his anti-immigration demonstration (inviting various BNP, EDL and other far right organisers), which received unanimous abuse in the local paper. "When will Everitt learn that his mob will solve and change nothing!" read one typical comment. Since then he has been arrested on suspicion of assault and criminal damage which has not inspired confidence in his followers, some of whom have called for the march to be cancelled. The demonstration will take place on Sun 18th Nov at the Herbert Ingram memorial.

English Democrat, Elliott Fountain, launched his campaign for Lincolnshire Police & Crime Commissioner with a host of right wing policies on crime including "throwing tenants out of houses faster". We exposed the fact that he was a supporter of Golden Dawn, approved of the EDL's attacks on the police in Walsall and held vile anti-Muslim views. Amusingly, for a man who has publicly said he will target drug users his Facebook page is also littered with references to his own drug taking. Fountain later tried to engage with these criticisms by digging himself even further into a hole.

The real comedy gold came when Everitt and Fountain had a very public punch up after Fountain slagged off Everitt's anti-immigration protest as pointless. Everitt responded by saying that Fountain "now wants to be lincolnshires police commissioner lets just put the crooks in charge of the establishment" and accusing him of "FLOOD[ing] US WITH MIGRANT LABOUR". Fountain's friends published a recorded phonecall from Everitt threatening violence and then called him a "racist thug" and "a puppet who strings were being pulled".

The EDL staged their latest massive disappointing flop of a demo in London. In the run-up Nottingham EDL were stupid enough to try to incite a riot of Twitter.

Meanwhile the knives were out for former EDL leader and Nottingham resident, Guramit Singh. Casuals United called him a "scummy man" with a "nasty plan" and a cunt because he was refusing to pay his debts to a "respected lad". Others on the thread called him a grass who "helped ruin a street movement and told a lot of porkies" and a "wrongun".

Leicester Casuals United were spreading false rumours as usual. This time they were trying to whip up a street army to defend a poppy seller from imaginary "Scum Muslims". They later admitted it had all been made up but not before their fans had foamed at the mouth about a "Pack of wild dogs" that need to be "PUT DOWN".

Finally we reported on how the EDL had successfully managed to hijack the Forgotten Estates campaign on the Thurnby Lodge estate in Leicester. This is the campaign against the city council's decision to give an abandoned scout hut to a Muslim group for use as a community centre. It turns out that the leader of the group is an EDL activist called Chris Hopewell and that the EDL's Leicester leader, Craig Elliott, is involved as well. But things aren't going well for this EDL front group which, according to a supporter, has turned from a spectacularly popular group to a pitiful handful.

Looks like the mods deleted a comment, but left a response to the deleted comment intact, leaving what in effect is now a completely bizarre and meaningless comment on Indymedia - no mistake there then eh?!

Welcome to Nazymedia.
Altı yıllık suskunluğunu “Tam Zamanında” albümüyle bozmaya hazırlanan Nükhet Duru, stüdyoya kapandığı günlerde Sezen Aksu’nun de kendisini yalnız bırakmadığını söyledi ve ekledi: “Bir baktım, maskeyle nefes alıyor. Meğer temiz hava almak için oksijen tüpü getirtmiş stüdyoya!”

Altı yıldır albüm yapmayan Nükhet Duru, uzun süren sessizliğini 15 şarkılık “Tam Zamanında” albümü ile bozuyor. Kasım ortasında Poll Production etiketiyle çıkacak albümü Point Hotel Barbaros’ta Nükhet Duru’yla beraber dinledim. Albümün dikkat çeken ilk şarkısı, “Ceylan”...
Üç yıl önce, Diyarbakır’ın Lice ilçesinde hayvanlarını otlattığı sırada bomba patlaması sonucu 14 yaşındayken ölen Ceylan Önkol’a ithaf edilen şarkının söz ve müziği Sezen Aksu’ya ait.

Her seferinde ağlatan şarkı
“Bu şarkıyı her dinlediğimde ağlıyorum” diyen Duru’ya hak vermemek elde değil. Çünkü “Ceylan”ın sözleri tokat gibi: “Ah yüreğimde dört nala atlar/ Atların sağrısında kanatlar/ Sağ yanımda boydan boya Mezopotamya/ Sol yanımda Rumeli ağıtları patlar/ Gözlerime astılar seni/ Ceylanım kör oldum ben/ Ne havan topu ne mermi/ Senle vuruldum ben/ Gezme Ceylan bu dağlarda gezme/ Gece gerdanlık, gündüz mezarlık.”
“Ceylan”dan hemen sonra dinlediğimiz şarkı ise “Rüşvet”... Sözü Aysel Gürel’e, müziği Şehrazat’a ait şarkının nakaratındaki performansıyla Nükhet Duru uçuruyor insanı...
“Rüşvet” şarkısından sonra biraz ara veriyoruz albümü dinlemeye. Duru bu kez 15 şarkılık albüm kayıtları sırasında nasıl günlerce stüdyoya kapanıp kaldıklarını anlatıyor. Öyle ki, bazen dışarı çıkmaya vakitleri bile olmamış. Bu yüzden stüdyodaki okumalar sırasında sürekli Duru’nun yanında olan Sezen Aksu, oksijen tüpü ve maskesi getirtmiş hava almak için! “Bir baktım, maskeyle nefes alıyor” diye gülerek anlatıyor Nükhet Duru o yoğun saatleri...

Duru’ya vokal koçluğu yaptı
Bu arada Sezen Aksu, albüme sadece besteleriyle katkıda bulunmamış. Yedi şarkısını bedelsiz olarak verdiği Duru’ya ayrıca vokal koçluğu da yapmış. Çok tiz seslerden söylemek yerine şarkıları daha konuşma sesiyle yorumlamasını salık vermiş. Albümdeki “Milyoner” şarkısı, bu değişikliğin en iyi örneklerinden.
Ve gelelim “Hicran”a... Herkesin diline düşmesi muhtemel bu şarkı, yeni bir “Lale Devri” olmaya aday... Söz ve müzik, Sezen Aksu’nun: “Hicran yine hicran mı bu aşkın sonu söyle/ Meğer kaderimizmiş en sevdiğimiz beste/ Toplan, toplan git yeniden yeniden başla/ Gitmek her gün ölüme daha da benzemekte.”

MEVSİMSİZ BİR ALBÜM OLDU
15 şarkılık albümü özetlemek kolay değil. İçinde Sıla’dan Nazan Öncel’e daha birçok sanatçının eseri var. Hepsini keşfetmek, uzun kış gecelerinde uzun uzun dinlemek gerekiyor. Zaten Nükhet Duru da öyle diyor: “Mevsimlik albümler, şarkılar bana göre değil. Mevsimsiz bir albüm yaptım ve çok içime sindi.”

OĞLUMA TEŞEKKÜR BORÇLUYUM
Altı yıl aradan sonra tekrar albüm yapmasına vesile olan oğlu Cem’e de teşekkür ediyor Nükhet Duru: “Arada birkaç single yaptım, ama tam kendimi vererek yaptığım işler değildi. Epeydir öyle evde oturuyor, uzaklara dalıp gidiyordum. Bakma, ben öyle göründüğü kadar şen şakrak değilim. Dışarıya karşı öyleyim sadece. Oğlum en sonunda ‘Anne ben seni böyle görmeye alışık değilim. Çocukluğumdan beri oradan oraya koşturuyordun, şimdi ne oldu böyle?’ dedi. Onun uyarısıyla ayaklandım ve bu 15 şarkılık albüm çıktı ortaya. İyi de oldu, tam zamanında...”
