UK far right trouble July/August 24

[Koniec]

I'm intrigued about the West Belfast one, are they going to march down the Falls Road waving Union Jacks and Cross of St George?

Plenty of rangers tops on show.

Anti Nazi League did it in 1977. The NF shit their tack.

Why are these fucktards attacking police and police stations?

Because coppers are instruments of the state, and if they can't attack coppers then the emergency services will do. It's bat shit crazy I know, but it's the same pattern everywhere whenever this kinda thing kicks off.

So... why don't you go down to the street and tell them it to their faces?

Hello Adolf

I think many poor, white folk are entitled to feel aggrieved, but immigrants aren’t their enemy.

yet some far right bastards tell them and make money off telling they are - its manipulation of stupid people who are easily led - its that simple

They did, but the Socialist Workers Party did a number on that movement, it wasn't all puppies and rainbows.

Why are these fucktards attacking police and police stations?

Because it is a far right tactic, claim the police are tools of the state and have lost control, control and order only their ideology can return.

This is clearly orchestrated mob atracks planned well before the GE partly for their intrest and partly to destabalise the labour government they knew was coming in, the events in southport has given them their excuse to enact a campaign of civil disorder which was always coming at some point.

The weather and school holidays has also helped as more people will come out if its dry and young teenagers and adults will join in just to pass the time or for the nobble.

You have your core facists the ones attacking police, local youth just going along and opportunist seeing a chance to loot and rob.

Yes a big movement affiliated to the punk thing. It was refreshing. It will be again.

There’s never many protests in the rain it’s a great idea they use them abroad and there’s a fire hydrant on every street the police have used it before but I can’t remember where it was might of been in NI.

We sometimes saw water cannons used against protesters (in this case) when I was working in Kenya. They were always used with tear gas - water cannon knocked people off their feet and winded them, then they gulped in tear gas trying to get their breath back. They,re more like baton rounds and rubber bullets than a giant garden hose.

I organised a Rock Against Racism concert in Bradford in the late 70s, a lot about that movement was great, the SWP were not.

After Blair Peach died there was an anti Nazi League march in Leicester, now completely forgotten, it was a counter demo, the NF were marching through Leicester's Asian area, their usual MO. I took a whole lot of folk down there, it turned nasty, and the coppers kettled and did their thing with batons and dogs, but only after the SWP had ransacked a building site and used the bricks for other means, a lot of folk got hurt that day.
