Football Lads and Lasses against Facism

[Ric]

I’m all in favour of those who counter demonstrate at EDL and DFLA marches, and if those particular groups had any significant presence at City I’d happily support a group set up to combat them. But there is no evident problem with fascism at the club, so as such I’m not really sure what the purpose of the FLAF is at City?

 

[Ric]

Even when city had a firm when it was all kicking off it was black lads and white lads. Do you not remember daft Donald and Rodney in the guvnors?

Maybe you should have called one of those a fascist and see what happened.

It was the Cool Cats who saw off the NF at City.

True, but the FLA was created first and do we really just allow these bunch of racist morons to march down the streets singing Tommy Robinsons name and other shite ?
Not saying they should be stopped by violent means but it would be depressing to watch something like this grow and grow with no one standing up to them.

Well fuckin said BH.

Available through the FLAF facebook page. Don't let the far right get established in football.

You are having a laugh eh?

What an absolute fucking disgrace of a post and an idea.

How about no political extremism regardless of direction? How about no politics in sports at all ?
How about not alienating anyone on the basis of class? How about not aligning the club with your separatist political ideals? How about no violence for the club, how about no violence in football,? How about no violence anywhere?

Keep your far left vs far right extremist horseshit away from this club and this sport and don't attach your political slogans or ideology to its crest.

What do you think would be more effective against political extremist groups (that's plural you numbskull, left, or right) invading the match day experience?

A) A bunch of pro communist leftist extremists from only the working class (whatever the fuck that means) fighting the group's on the streets

B) All of the supporters of the club (and common sense) standing together regardless of race, class, political ideals, peacefully and as a collective, allowing the extremist idiots to have free speech and express their views as is the law of the land, whilst we be strong in opposition intellectually and in restraint, by not allowing, encouraging or participation in violence.

Fuck me, what an absolute bell end.

And no need for the abuse, or is that you being, ' strong in opposition intellectually' or, 'standing together' ?

I was involved in this back in the late 70s, I even organised one of these....

We did a good job, the NF were humiliated at the election in 79 and never recovered.

Thatcher won and the Tories were in power for 18 years.

Definining yourself by who you oppose, eh PF? ;-)

That NF period feels really weird when you look back on it. Lots of marches, but bugger all support. Thankfully.

You're right, when push came to shove NF support was miniscule.

Yet an enormous amount of energy was expended on it.

Whoosh!....That went right over your head mate

The moral of that post is quite the opposite.

It was a joke pal.

I know, I amended my post almost immediately on second reading.
