Confused
The war and financial austerity.

Brilliant work done by everybody in opposing some working class idiot skinheads while other trivial matters go on in the background (Afghanistan war, austerity)
Absolutely fantastic to see everybody getting to grips with the problems that are important (fighting with drunks) rather than everyday trivial rubbish (war, collapse of capitalism, building of empire).
Clarification.
I'm not aware of any links between the EDL and UKIP

That's all the evidence Indymedia have (probably).
And what links to Combat 18 does the EDL have? Maybe there was a few infiltrators but they are not welcome at demos.
Wayne Baldwin, was ejected from the EDL demo in Bradford. This shows that Nazi's are not welcome at EDL demos.

Not really sure what opposing them while they 'support' the israli embassy in a largely rich, largely white area of london will achieve. Even if they doubled their largest past demo's it would still be a really minor turnout compared to the anti-zionist/militarist protests against the embassy in the last couple of years, so hardly a PR victory.
What would be a PR victory is them being able to twist any counter-protest as either a)pointless, or more likely b)antisemetic, and with a little overt vocal provecation c)violent.
Any clashes at this demo would likely just give them more media coverage - and this is likely to be the one demo they manage to have with no sieg heiling at it. Although I really hope that they do slip up like that 'EDL sieg heil at israli embassy' is probably not the news report they are looking for.
Better to save your time for organising against their other demo's.

The divvy skin caught sieg heiling while dressed like a member of Combat 84 in Brum was of course a UAF dressed up and his name and address was put up on the EDL faceboook page, it seems the UAF are quite happy to disgrace the memory of the holocaust and the nazis for a great pic op though.

As for opposing the EDL outside the Israeli embassy I agree, it's a waste of time - the EDL might think protesting there enhances their credibility but the Israeli establishment hardly wants to be associated with a bunch of closet Nazis and drunken football thugs. Tell you what, Jeff Marsh write to the Israeli ambassador and see if, with your criminal record, you can get yourself invited to an official cheese and wine do, hob-nobbing with the elite and being photographed cheerfully reminiscing about football violence with the ambassador's wife. If not then the EDL will just have to stand around on the pavement outside along with the dried leaves and pigeon-shit
