Oppose The EDL in Liverpool this Wednesday Lunchtime

Liverpool Anarchist | 28.06.2010 16:03 | Anti-racism | Migration | Social Struggles | Liverpool

The neo-Nazi EDL will hijacking the armed forces day at lunchtime in Liverpool on Wednesday the 30th of June 2010. In all previous army hijackings, the fascists have boasted how they have faced no opposition when latching onto army events. This time, the EDL must be made to realise that Liverpool has a proud working class anti-fascist tradition.



Over a hundred EDl neo-nazis are planning to hijack the "D Squadron 1st Royal Tank Regiment Parade" on Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:00, a parade celebrating the return of troops to Liverpool, and as they did in Leeds, Halifax and elsewhere throughout the United Kingdom, the despicable ragtag bunch of race-riot causing fascist scumbags are planning to join in the army event in Liverpool this Wednesday.

In other towns and cities, the cops and the military commanders have allowed the evil fascist scum to march through the streets with a police escort, something that would be detrimental to the anti-fascist tradition of Liverpool.

THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN!

LET'S STOP THEM MARCHING!!!

Advertising the event on the official EDL Facebook account, the Islamophobic anti-trade union extreme rightwing hate mob (at the beck and call of the Islamophobic newspaper industry including Rupert Murdoch), will be meeting up in Liverpool city centre this week.

The BNP Tierney clan will be joining in the festivities, using their event to normalise their message of race hate.

Antifascists and anarchists throughout Merseyside, please turn up to show your contempt for both organised fascism and the tabloid hysteria which the EDL and the BNP feed off.

As well as hating all Muslims (while claiming only to hate Militant islamists), the EDL have recently started diatribes against leftwingers and liberals (calling everybody who opposes them, McCarthy-like "Communists"), and have attacked trade unions, calling the BA strikers "scum".

The EDL are in-league with the state and the rightwing media, and they are, like the BNP, the enemies of Liverpool.

If the EDL or the BNP ever got to power, expect a fascist totalitarian society 100% times worse than under Mrs Thatcher (which is ironic when they sound off about the human rights abuses of the taliban all the time).

Remember the dockers.

Oppose the dirty tricks of the EDL.

Stand Up Against The Nazis.

If ordinary people had in Germany opposed the blackshirts, maybe, just maybe World War II wouldn't have happened.

I am a proud Liverpool bloke and I don't want to see the EDL taking liberties with free speech and march with the troops.

The troops are not the bad guys. They are doing a job for the MOD.

It's the racist fascist thugs who latch onto the parades and pretend on theie Facebook site that they have the public's support.

Well, fuck me Trolls, but the EDL do not speak for me.

They are neo-nazi scum.

EDL rally attender Wigan Mike recently got sentenced up for "vague talk on the internet", so talk, although sometimes cheap, is definately accountable.

How many innocent Muslims have been targeted by the MOD for accidentally clicking on the wrong website?

Or are Muslim people more guilty than far right suspects?

It is a definate question of skin colour.

Fuck the troops too.

Not only should anyone who calls themselves a leftie be out opposing the EDL but they should also oppose the murderous war criminals of the British Army. And don't give me any crap about them being poor, hard-done-to, working-class lads only doing it 'cos there's nothing else. Bollocks they are. They're doing it because they like it. They're doing it because they like killing. They're doing it because they haven't gone the brain to think for themselves (and that's before the military get there hands on them).
Fuck the EDL. Fuck the British Army.

Think paranoia's setting in, EDL lover!

The EDL leadership ARE neo-Nazis as they belong to the BNP.

Of course EDL sympathisers will never in a hundred years accept their beloved white supremacists are not anything but "whiter than white".

The EDL hate all Muslims, they oppose trade unionism, and recently called anarchism "un-British".

Do they have any redeeming features?

Tommy Robinson has been exposed as a loser from Bedford who beat a policeman to a pulp, took cocaine, and belongs to the BNP.

Does this make him a latent anarchist???????

Marching around shouting insults about "Allah" and calling Asian people "P*kis" are hardly redeeming features, dearie... lol

You're just going to ruin the parade

29.06.2010 12:36

By "opposing" the EDL you're going to ruin the parade. At previous military parades that the EDL "hijacked" everything was peaceful. You're never going to stop the EDL and how are they nazis. So what if a couple of nazis attended the EDL demo in Leeds as they are not welcome and they haven't attended any demos ever since. Nearly all EDL members dispise Neo-nazism and if they wave St George and Jewish flags then why would they be nazis.

The EDL Leadership Aren't Just Racists, They're Neo-Nazis

29.06.2010 20:26


“Tommy Robinson” – spokesperson for the English Defence League (EDL) and a founder member of the group – is a Nazi.

He has been exposed as British National Party (BNP) member Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, from Bedford. He joined the BNP in 2004.

The reason for hiding his identity has been to keep his links to fascism quiet.

There is tension within the EDL about the role BNP members play.

Their presence scares off softer racist elements and breaks the image that the EDL is not racist.

Yaxley-Lennon’s identity was revealed by fellow EDL members on YouTube. They say they are angry with the direction the group is taking and the involvement of Nazis and hard core racists.

The EDL wants to spark a summer of race riots across Britain.

They planned to start with Tower Hamlets in east London – but were scared off by the magnificent response of anti-fascists.

They are now targeting multicultural Bradford and plan to return to Dudley.

The EDL has also attempted to attack a number of left wing events, including a demonstration against the Israeli assault on the Gaza aid flotilla and a meeting with George Galloway in Manchester last weekend.

Anti-fascists must unite to oppose them.

"Nearly all EDL members dispise Neo-nazism and if they wave St George and Jewish flags then why would they be nazis".

Read this broadside against the EDL's fake love for Israel from Haaretz.......

 http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/diaspora-jews-beware-stay-away-from-bigots-no-matter-how-friendly-them-seem-1.299009

"The EDL had previously brandished Israeli flags at demonstrations to taunt its Muslim opponents"

Also read the many Stormfront threads which refer to the so-called "Jew flag", reassuring each other that this, and the phoney Jewish division of the EDL are simoly window dressings to cover up the discovery of alias "Tommy Robinson"'s read identity.

In the same way, Ulster Unionists fly the Israeli flag simply to wind up pro-Palastinian Sinn Fein.

Driving down the Shankhill Road, you will see numerous Israeli flags just used to wind people up.

How many Jews are Ulster Unionists?
