Apologies for late posting …
When we got to Brighton Station for the much anticipated and poorly attended March For England (MfE) the place was full of plod tugging likely looking individuals and handing out Section 60s. We dodged out of the side and headed for the seafront via the numerous back alleys that have helped Brighton militants and visitors avoid kettling on demos for years. We got to the seafront about 11.30 and there were a handful of MfE who were completely surrounded by 100s of anti-fascists – local folk, UAF, black block, Brighton Anti-Fascists anarchists, socialists, trade unionists, and a load of punks from the Punx Picnic that was taking place that weekend. The sprightly black block kept plod on his toes all day. The cops started gradually extending the cordon from the Sealife centre to the war memorial fountain where the seagulls go drinking to contain the increasing numbers of counter-protesters so 100s of anti-fascists moved from the pier to the roundabout, hopping over fences, as plod got increasingly nervous. A couple of MfE eejits who had stayed in the pub too long and couldn’t join the demo stood about looking foolish before scarpering. This was a common sight all day. As the counter-demo swelled the fash couldn’t join their simian comrades so either cowered in a pub somewhere out of sight or gathered up enough bravado to wander about. Which usually ended unfortunately for them as the black block proved both mobile and militant. The black blockers chased a bunch of MfE into a bookies in Kemp Town and besieged it until plod managed to move them away. As they did so several MfE and plod were splattered with black gunk. They should have stayed in the pub. The area was swamped with anti-fascists so we went for a wander. At the Sealife Centre we heard the best and politest heckle of the day: ‘I don’t think you’ve done well in your lives!’
As plod became more frustrated by the anarcho-runaround, anti-fascists came across some Infidels in a side street who panicked as they came under fire from a mass of projectiles. Horse plod moved in to protect them. Anti-fascists then managed to kettle in plod from both ends of the side street from what we could see. It was hilarious to see one of the Infidels, Diddyfiddler, cacking himself and begging cops for protection.
Plod were pulling people’s facemasks off by force which led to several confrontations and de-arrests so we moved to the end of the march route and were soon joined by a large group of black block. As we stood chatting, one toothless goon walked and shouted ‘Come On Then!’ only to receive a stern talking to.
He also lost the contents of his handbag which were scattered over the road. His mate fared even worse and once they picked themselves up they hid behind the cops and started trying to grass people as usual but to no avail: ‘It was the one in black officer!’
Vans, fences and plod lines obscured the view of the actual march which seems to have been about 150 performing monkeys convincing no one of anything. MfE had said it was a ‘family day out’ and some had bought kids to hide behind but, as usual, their eejits division had already put out statements threatening to ‘Have It’ with anti-fascists. We are still waiting for evidence that they had anything apart from police protection. ‘We go where we want want when we want?’ Yeah, with the help of 6 police forces.
The Infidels: Having Nothing!
Plod chaperoned them from the pier to the Ship Hotel where they stood around listening to the same daft speeches for ten minutes and were then marched back pronto. Back near the pier, Brighton anti-fascists gathered up and marched through town back to the station, triumphantly singing ‘Whose Streets? Our Streets!’ – something few can deny on the day. By this time we had been on the go all day so we retired to a friendly pub for a few beers and to meet up with some new chums. It had been a very good day and anti-fascism had triumphed yet again.
For a national demo, the MfE effort was piss poor. They had been talking it up as a ‘revenge’ trip for their utter routing last year but on the day they simply could not mobilise the numbers. Several little groups of them who could not join the march were ‘interviewed’ by militant anti-fascists and found wanting. The MfE claimed they had got the better of the anti-fascists but there is absolutely no evidence of this anywhere. As in Walthamstow, Bristol and Brighton last year, large amounts of anti-fascists prevented themselves from being kettled and maintained a massive and fluent counter-presence to the far right. Plod had difficulty containing the vast majority of people and we were free to go where we wanted. The MfE looked tiny, subdued and outnumbered. Of course, they are threatening to go back down to Brighton in November on a cold, rainy Wednesday afternoon in ‘revenge’ but this, like every other attempt they make in Brighton, will be a miniscule and dismal parade of arsebugling fuckspangles dancing round in the valley of the eejits! If they can manage to get there that is.
It was clear on Sunday that the MfE, which had gathered all the tiny splinter groups from the EDL together, is going nowhere. The EDL itself has fallen on hard times with Mr Tommy scared of going back to jail and Kousin Kev Karrol taking over the leadership of British Freedom which promptly collapsed. Fallouts continue as the few remaining arsebugles vie for attention, titles and glory. To little avail. The Infidels cannot gather enough people for a proper demo and so rely on the South East Alliance and other groupuscules for support and eejits like Combined Spent-Forces and Cagoules Unlimited are nothings run by nobodies. There is an EDL demo this weekend in Leeds which will show anti-fascists how many have stayed true to Tommy and the far right are still a bit of a concern in Yorkshire and the North East. However, the main worry for anti-fascists is UKIP sucking up protest votes and BNP members by the score. How they fare at the upcoming election will prove very interesting indeed. As ever, the far right reinvent themselves continually and it is up to anti-fascists to both expose and confront them. Be seeing you!
… with Pam Ayres and Bollocks the Dog!
Hello readers, Bollocks the Dog here! As we all know the EDL are a hopeless bunch of drunk hooligans who have enormous difficulties separating fact from alcohol induced delirium. Today we expose the top 10 of the EDL’s classic lies and compare them with the reality everyone else lives in.
1.’We’re coming down the road!’
No, you’re standing behind a cordon in your own piss.
2. ‘EDL are the fastest growing protest group’
True! You are growing smaller at every demo!
3. ‘Neither Racist Nor Violent’
But both! EDL demos always descend into drunken infighting and racist chanting.
’4. We go where we want, when we want!’
No you don’t! You go where plod tells you when plod tells you and when plod have had enough they bus you out of there!
5. ‘They’ve Banned Christmas!’
Who? Where? We are still awaiting evidence for this claim!
6. ‘Unite The Right!’
Here are some of the far right groupuscules who have no intention of uniting with each other: EDL, SDL, NWI, NEI, ENA, SEA, EVF, MfE etc.
7. We’re getting our voices heard!’
Sadly, only by car park attendants on the outskirts of town. They are now nothing but an incontinent car park amusement freak show.
8. ‘Tommy Robinson Is A Political Prisoner!’
Tommy is in fact a career criminal and spiv who has been done for assault, football hooliganism, breaking bail conditions, using a false passport and alleged mortgage fraud. None of which is ‘political.’
9. ‘UAF support pedos!’
It is in the ranks of the EDL that sex offenders are found on a regular basis: Richard Price, Michael Coates, Matthew Woodward, Alan Thomas Ellis, Brett Moses, and just recently Jack Edmonds, as well as SDL additions Stephen Payne and Paul Newlands and let’s not forget Nigel Hesmondalgh of the BNP.
10. The ‘UAF’ are the ‘unwashed.’
Oh dear!
Oops!
Crivvens!
And continuing with our Far Right Amazing Lookalikes, today we present Derek Shiteyes from the EDL ‘Hitler Youth Division’
And the banjo kid from Deliverance!
And today’s EDL Eejit is this arsebugle.
Be Seeing You!
Crivvens! Jings! And Help Ma Boab! The cheeky wee monkeys of the EDL staged a chimps tea-party in Manchester and behaved exactly the way their audience expects: they got drunk, got rowdy and made a mess whilst achieving nothing. At 11am a bunch of EDL turned up at Victoria Station and immediately started fighting with each other which set the tempo of the day, i.e., a protracted drunken brawl. The EDL were marshalled in the Walkabout pub where it kicked off, with themselves and with plod. One group broke away to ‘take the streets back,’ i.e., went to a different pub then staggered about a bit before being taken back to the march. Our cameraman told us he ‘had just had a run in with some clowns at Brannigans. Camera took a dent but old bill lifted three of them… watch out there are random little gangs in search of soft targets.’
A few hundred counter-demonstrators gathered in Piccadilly Gardens for the usual tedious speechifying so we went for a mooch around. We arrived in Albert Square where the 2 demos were going to rally and found loads of bored cops standing in the sun. Both groups were to be shunted to the quiet end of town where they were positioned opposite each other with nothing but a no man’s land full of riot cops between them to inhibit the customary haranguing. The numbers seemed about even although an aerial shot shows a not great EDL turnout.
The counter- demo was jolly but nowhere near big enough to oppose an EDL ‘national.’ That the UAF held their conference on the same day was absurd: discussing what to do about fascism on the streets whilst several hundred fascists are marching on the streets is pointless. The counter-demo was multi-coloured and lively with union banners, sound-system and a drum group. It was like a party without a bar (but, luckily, toilets!). Trade union banners, community groups, local politicians and anti-fascists were representing a broad section of the North West. Just who do the EDL represent? The silent majority? How do they know if they are silent? Twerps. We clocked a trampy looking ‘chav scrote’ spotter, with obligatory bad teeth and poor dress sense, who was taking photos with his phone, mainly of policemen’s backs it seemed. What he will do with the ‘Intel’ now is moot given Redwatch’s current problemettes.
Bye Bye Redwatch! Hello Prison!
Shortly after the counter-demo arrived, a large group of anarchists and anti-fascists were shepherded into the square which swelled numbers. One plod told us that there had been ‘an engagement’ earlier between anti-fascists and orangu-patriots. Tiny groups of EDL were either wandering about lost or mingling in the counter-demo offering their usual abuse, devoid of wit or sense, clutching Sainsbo‘s bags of lager. The EDL arrived just before 2 in their usual simian phalanx, wrapped in flags, soaked in lager, penned in and protected by the riot squad.
Anti-fascists had gathered in the south-east corner winding up the EDL until the chimps started rattling their bars and throwing their own poo around. They were an unimpressive herd of scrotes, pissed and angry, and a few missiles were thrown when anti-fascists goaded them then plod moved us out of view. Oddest banner of the day was ‘UAF are totally disturbed to defend peeedos.’ Jings! The counter-demo music totally drowned the EDL’s shouts and speeches out and then they tried to burn a Pakistan flag but failed embarrassingly. They had been chucking smoke bombs about previously.
EDL Angels: up for the crack!
We were getting some nice info all day via mobile and text, the best being the following. Sheffield hooly mob, the Blades Business Crew, were on their way to a ‘pre-arranged’ with Oldham’s Fine Young Cagoules but stopped off in the MCR. Plod boarded their coach and refused to believe that they were actually off to football as they ‘had no hats, scarves or rattles!’ Crivvens! There were also rumours that 2 factions of the EDL were going to have a sort out but they both bottled it.
It all seemed a bit pointless and plod had stage-managed it well: both sides could hurl abuse out of the earshot of shoppers. There were almost as many sight-seers as cops and plod seemed remarkably relaxed on our side. For the EDL, it was the same routine: get kettled in a pub, start infighting, move to demo site and back again. Some had set off from a Leeds pub at 8am so no doubt were in a bad way by 2. The baboons of the EDL are now a leaderless body but, unlike intentionally leaderless anarchists, they need leader to give instructions on how to eat their bananas correctly. It was not a remarkable day for the EDL, there was no coup, no coordination, not much publicity and they just looked as clueless and daft as ever. We met friends old and new which was great and thanks to all of them for a cracker of a weekend. And at £2.10 a pint who can complain?
We have always said that the far-right are their own worst enemies and how true this has turned out to be following their drunken Cambridge embarrassment at the weekend.
One of the many problems that the English Defence League has struggled with is their inability to generate positive publicity, whether in the mainstream media or elsewhere. Partly this is to do with ridiculous and toothless gestures like the Casuals United issuing a ‘fatwa’ against journalists – and the Casuals certainly put the ‘fat’ into ‘fatwa’ – as well as EDL eejits groping a female journalist and attempting to set another on fire at their woeful attempt to get to Tower Hamlets. This hardly curries favour with the people who are going to represent you to the nation. The media is only too happy to post photographs of drunken hooligans, angrily shouting and gesticulating and always clutching cans of cheap lager as it shifts copies. This is one of their ‘stewards.’ Observe case of cheap lager!
The other reason why the EDL are shown as a pissed up bunch of hooligans is because that’s what they are. As footage from Cambridge showed on Saturday. By the bucketload! Many times the EDL have had to put out warnings to their ever-diminishing band of ‘chav scrotes’ to not chant racist slogans, not fight with their own stewards and not turn up drunk. However, as the EDL demos are widely viewed by many as an excuse for a piss-up and a barney these warnings have been ignored. On Remembrance Day last year the EDL had to plead with people not to turn up drunk. As this sombre commemoration started at 11am, having to ask people not to be pissed by then is indicative of the true nature of the EDL. Drunk racist hooligans.
On Saturday the EDL were filmed, all 24 of them, in a state of drunken and drugged stupor, incoherently staggering around a muddy field and fighting with each other. The guys who filmed it did not need to stage anything but merely show the EDL how everyone else views them. And they were not happy! Consequently, the ill-fated March For England demo set for Brighton in April started feeling the ‘Cambridge Effect’ and had this to say:
‘To save people time and money traveling to Brighton if you are drunk or think your walking down the road on the parade drinking Stella dont bother turning up as you will be turned away.’
The Cagoules Unlimited were likewise chastened by the ‘Effect’ with some bugle on their Facebook page writing:
‘it looks chavy as fuck and makes everyone there look like scruffs. How you wanna go about getting good press when there’s people pissed out of their minds. The demo you’re on about looked a disgrace.’
Here! Here! Now you know how the rest of the world sees you! The EDL leadership, what is left of them that is, are mortified by the footage but will no doubt witness similar scenes in Manchester on Saturday as the Infidels, Cagoules and rump EDL all struggle for pole position in an increasingly pointless race for the leadership of a couple of dozen drunk racists! They are also desperately trying to convince people that there is no infighting but are having difficulty convincing themselves. See y’all at Piccadilly!
In case you have been a state of hypersleep since Saturday here is the video itself.
Observe – how the EDL wildebeest act in captivity!
Be confused – by the slurring gargling noises pertaining to be English!
Be Amazed - by the fact that only 1 member actually came from Cambridge itself and ask why?

With thanks to Tab TV! Great stuff chaps!
As we clearly haven’t got anything better to do today – or rather we do but we don’t want to do it – we thought we would drop the Infidel-boys a line and ask for an interview to explain their scab antics on Saturday. With the usual gratifying results. Here we go then …

okay, you sound an amenable chap, perhaps you can help? why did you attack an anti-cuts demo?
(… Infidels maintain radio silence … )
malatesta32 on February 25, 2013 at 4:39 pm said:
Mal: oh, you don’t seem to be able to string a coherent sentence together so we’ll answer the questions for you. Why did you attack an anti-cuts demo?
NWI: errr…. is it because we are clueless fuckbugles Uncle Mal?
Mal: yes that’s right, well done. You attacked a demo protesting against drastic cuts in the standard of working class lives which therefore makes it look like you support the cuts.
NWI: oh did we, I was that drunk I can’t remember.
Mal: so why are you a scab? why do the bosses work for them?
NWI: errrrr …. well it’s the only work we can get as we have such appalling criminal records and can’t remain sober after elevenses!
Mal: okay,well it looks like your morning bottle of white supremacist cider is getting warm so we will let you go.
NWI: okay, thank you. I love your blog Mal its muach better thean Diddy’s as you can speall.
Mal: I love you too x
After an hour, the NWI Brain Trust finally came up with this:
‘That reads like a 10 year olds written it. I suggest you employ an editor.’
Poor do and I would rather get legal advice from the Infidels than Grammatical advice.
As we all know, the collective scrotes of the EDL, SDL and Infibellends all enjoy sophisticated political debate and their choice word of insult against anti-fascists is ‘unwashed.’ As keen observers of these simian shagspots hygienic standards we find this insult somewhat ironic! So now for your delectation, we have selected a handful of the EDL etc at their finest!
Scottish Defence League: asks plod to let him out of the cordon for a wee. Plod says no. He wets himself then goes back to show the plod! As for the ladies … 
… Right!
Wrong! This young lady forgot to remove her jeans before going!
This young fellow wet himself with all the excitement!
This is Joanna Dickens, who fell out of the toilet on the Notts coach at Tower Hamlets – prematurely it seems!
And this stout gent got carried away abusing a Republican march! No surrender to basic hygiene!
