Neo-nazis, Tories and Bricks

Durutti's 5th Column | 15.09.2005 17:51 | Anti-racism

Anyone know a good glazier?

On the 10th of September 2005 a neo-nazi sect calling itself the Nationalist Alliance held a meeting to remember the recently deceased fascist crank John Tyndall, the meeting was also an attempt to unite fighting factions within the British far right .

The venue for the meeting was the Conservative club at Rawdon near Leeds.

Although both the club, the regional office and Conservative national headquarters were informed by anti-fascists exactly who was meeting in their building and for what purpose, no attempt was made by them to halt the gathering.

It having been made clear that the Conservative party, despite their rhetoric, were unwilling to take any action against fascists in their midst, anti-fascists took matters into their own hands.

The meeting was brought to an abrupt end by the anti-fascists and it was again made clear that fascist activity and organisation will be met with robust direct action in West Yorkshire.

Well done, it's great to hear about this kind of stuff happening-they're an increasing problem-certainly in the North East+the fact they're getting votes shows peoples frustration at the government and people need to try to make them see there are other political ideas worth having

You don't give too many details of the "action", but there is a report of that in the National Front website that gives a different account ( I believe they refer to the meeting you are talking about). The account they give does not really depict you as a very brave do dont go around boosting of things you havent done.

Without a doubt the NF will have lied about what went on, i don't even need to look at their site to know that. Their whole method is built around self aggrandisation, they will never acknowledge a defeat, never acknowledge bravery in the ooposition. Two mid twenties skinheads getting a kicking off of a gang of antifascists before running for it will translate into two 15 year old kids being attacked with knives and fighting their attackers off.

And as for 'don't talk about something you weren't at' - how do you know? If i were the author i wouldn't exactly say ''I went to x last night, did [something illegal], yay me''.


PS nice one to those involved

How brave

Well done to those involved in bricking another nationalist meeting. Dont let those nasty nazis say you dont have guts.

Was it aimed at kids like the last time we bricked them. Hope so.

All Nazis are nazis no matter how small.

Well done

Fascists are pussies.


Only bricks? Shame.

The fact that you, 'fascists are pussies', refer to the Nationalist Alliance as 'nationalists' suggests that you may well be one of them.

Anyone with an ounce of honesty or intelligence (and that excludes you and your fash friends) usually calls them what they are. The words 'Neo-Nazi', 'Fascists', 'filth' and 'scum' immediately spring to mind.

Personally, I'd have preferred something a little nastier than bricks.

Five out of ten, Fascist troll.

Must try harder.

'Pilgrim' or fascist!

Sounds to me that it is you who is the Nazi troll 'Pilgrim' or is that Nazi! Your violent talk gives anti fascists a bad name. Bricking kids is dispicable. Jaw Jaw not war war!

Get back under the stone troll.

Bricking kids

Perhaps you should question why these kids have become nationalists? The asian community are hardly a buch of peace-loving angels. Perhaps a lot of them (Especially those from places like Burnley) are sick of the way they're treated. Perhaps they've been treated to the typical situation where them or their friends have been beaten up by gangs of asian youths, only to find themselves blamed for it. Perhaps they're sick of seeing money thrown at asian areas, despite there ebing white areas which are just as, and sometimes more impoverished. Attack them all you want, it won't change a thing.

Humpty Dumpty


Nazi? Hardly.

17.09.2005 15:04

That depends on whether you have a problem with militant anti fascism, doesn't it?

Personally, I don't.

And it isn't as though Britain's far right hasn't done the same to anti fascists and wouldn't do the same again given half a chance.

Fighting fire with fire seems reasonable enough to me.

Well done on two counts.

17.09.2005 16:53

1) Gathering acurate intelligence and acting on it.

2) Not giving into the temptation of bragging about it to the extent that activists security is endangered. Those muppets in antifa/cw could learn a lot from you.
