Smash EDL, don’t ban them.Today them, tomorrow us!

Ban the EDL march. The current chant right now of the Left. They are insane….Some people are getting into the old rhetoric “We are proud of Tower Hamlets, a vibrant multiracial area, which has along and proud history of resistance to racism & fascism. From Cable Street in the 1930s, to Brick Lane in the 1970s and to Millwall in the1990s, the people of Tower Hamlets have come together to see off racism and fascism before. We will now stand united against the racist and extremist EDL.” Reads a letter from Hope not Hate in which they repeatedly ask for a ban….

Banning their march’s only further legitimises their arguments. A tiny tiny tiny minority of orthodox Islamic followers do need to be criticised and protested. If their march’s are banned their narrative of victimisation, that all Muslims are a problem and that the Left are willing to allow this country to fall into this minority hands becomes more acceptable, despite lacking any proof. If their marches are banned it makes them seem right, their numbers will grow, this is unacceptable. They must be stopped. And they must be stopped by the only language they know. On the streets.

The only thing that is certain is that a ban on the EDL march in Tower Hamlets will be a nightmare.

Without the EDL on the 3rd Sept to protest, our community will be attacked by another invading army, the police as seen before on June 20th last year. The groups that turn out to oppose the absent EDL will have the shit kicked out of them by the police. Kids will be rounded up beaten, arrested and months later sent to jail………

If the EDL are not beaten on our streets they will never go away, if they are not smashed to atoms – physically and ideologically – then they will continue to grow and infect. If the EDL are banned and go underground without being definitively defeated on the streets we will never be able to operate without a fear of them. They will become the bogeyman to radical politics……..

We don’t need to campaign for them to ban political groups. Today the EDL, tomorrow us.

Nigeria: Shell admits 2 oil spills to deny 6800

Restoration of Nigeria’s environmentally devastated oil-producing Niger Delta region could take up to 30 years, cost $1 billion and become the largest cleanup operation in history, the United Nations said Thursday. A landmark report from the U.N. Environmental Program (UNEP) concluded that pollution from more than 50 years of oil operations in Nigeria’s Ogoniland region is more far-reaching than thought. The assessment, commissioned by the Nigerian government and funded by oil giant Shell, comes on the heels of the company admitting liability for two spills in Nigeria. Nigeria’s Niger Delta, the world’s third largest wetland, is diverse and rich with mangroves and fish-rich waterways. But oil drilling has turned it into one of the most oil-polluted places on Earth with more than 6,800 recorded oil spills, accounting for anywhere from 9 million to 13 million barrels of oil spilled, according to activist groups. But the environmental disaster has never received the kind of attention paid to last year’s oil catastrophe along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Amnesty International, which has researched the human rights impacts of pollution in the Delta, said people in the region have experienced oil spills on par with the Exxon Valdez disaster every year for the last half century. This has been going on for 50 years, with corruption, Neo Colonialism and the criminal Oil Corporations working together. The damage would take at least 50 years to remedy, but this will never happen-.

Shell's defeat is also important for the future in that it highlights the effectiveness of taking court cases in the main homeland of a Corporation.

15M Madrid: Fracasan las Cargas..Police Attacks FAIL

Lxs manifestantes, tras ser disueltos por la fuerza y con gran dureza, han retornado hacia las inmediaciones de la Puerta del Sol, donde la policía ha reforzado aún más el dispositivo de seguridad que tenía montado para hacer inexpugnable la plaza

Brutales cargas policiales contra manifestación pacífica de Indignadxs en Madrid

@acampadasol informa acerca de la carga policial frente al Ministerio de Interior. Calcula en torno a una decena de heridos. “No hubo provocación por parte de los indignados”, según la web Toma la plaza. Se puede leer aquí: http://cort.as/166r

Al menos 20 heridos por acción de la policía

Al menos 20 personas resultaron heridas por la represión de la Policía a la marcha de los indignados en la noche de este jueves en las cercanías de la plaza Puerta del Sol de Madrid (España), confirmò la corresponsalía de teleSUR en España. El movimiento 15-M ha salido a las calles para intentar retomar estos espacios de los que fueron desalojados por la fuerza el pasado martes.

“Indignados dicen que hay al menos 20 heridos tras represión policial cerca a Ministerio del Interior de España”, reportó a través de su cuenta en Twitter @teleSUREspana la corresponsalía de teleSUR en el país europeo.

Según versiones que circulan por Twitter “la Policía sube a golpes por La Castellana”. No obstante, tras superar este obstáculo y con mayor determinación los miles de “manifestantes se reagrupan y se dirigen a (Puerta del) Sol”, informan estas fuentes.

Detenciones en la Puerta del Sol

Con las dos detenciones producidas ayer, ya son cuatro las personas detenidas por la policía en las protestas desarrolladas en el entorno de la puerta del Sol de Madrid. Las protestas que se volvieron a desarrollar durante la pasada noche por los alrededores de la Puerta del Sol de Madrid, que permaneció bloqueada por la Policía, se han saldado con otros dos detenidos, según ha informado a Europa Press un portavoz de la Jefatura Superior de Policía de Madrid.

La policía ha realizado la pasada noche (4 de julio) varias cargas brutales contra una manifestación pacífica de varios cientos de personas indignadas que se encontraban ante la sede del Ministerio del Interior en el Paseo de la Castellana de Madrid.

La policia cierra por segundo día consecutivo la Puerta del Sol. Las manifestaciones prosiguen

Con ayer, miércoles 3 de agosto, son ya dos los días consecutivos que las calles adyacentes a Sol y las estaciones de metro y cercanías han sido cerradas para impedir el acceso de personas a la plaza. Al mismo tiempo las policías nacional y municipal han vuelto a tomar Sol cerrando la misma al tránsito de personas. Se han instalado cordones de vallas en todos los accesos a la puerta del Sol y el comportamiento de la policía ha sido más áspero y maleducado. Se han producido demasiados momentos de tensión, amenazas y violencia verbal. Como en el día anterior el despliegue policial ordenado por el Ministerio del Interior y el Ayuntamiento de Madrid ha sido espectacular. Se han repetido los registros de las pertenencias que portaban las personas, las identificaciones y la toma de datos personales, que luego se convierte en una sanción económica administrativa.

Cops forced to retract call to ‘Report all Anarchists’

The Metropolitan police initiated an embarrassing climbdown after a police station in Belgravia, west London, published a leaflet asking the public and businesses to report anyone with anarchist sympathies.

The call for information on a political rather than criminal group echoed a similar appeal for information about al-Qaida activity and “could have been better worded”, Scotland Yard admitted.

City of Westminster police’s “counter-terrorist focus desk” had last week called for anti-anarchist whistleblowers, stating next to an anarchist emblem: “Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society, or anarchy. Any information relating to anarchists should be reported to your local police.”

The move angered some anarchists who insisted that being an anarchist does not imply criminal behaviour, indeed the biggest problem with the anarchist movement is the predominance of Pacifists..

Capitalists, on the other hand are unanimously criminal and should be reported immediately

The City of Westminster is not a fan of anarchists, it seems, after their counter-terrorism unit sent out a document that includes a warning about the dangers posed by anarchists. Helpfully, the document defines anarchism for us. In fact, it defines anarchism in exactly the same words (and with exactly the same punctuation) as the Wikipedia entry for anarchism. Isn’t that a coincidence? Anyway, the document urges the reader to report any instances of anarchism to the police.

EDL: Lets Stop demo by Child Killer’s fans!

Counter Demos planned to Fascist March with links to mass murderer

Two national unions have joined local union branches and community leaders in backing the demo to celebrate diversity and oppose the racist English Defence League in Tower Hamlets on 3 September. The EDL – an organisation of racist and fascist thugs – is threatening to march through the east London borough on that date. This is the planned culmination of the EDL’s summer of hate. But its attempts to stir up racist hatred against Muslims in the multicultural, multiracial East End of London have been met with a wave of condemnation from across Tower Hamlets’ diverse community and beyond.

TOWER HAMLETS ALARM CALL OUT

We are issuing this call-out to all those who want to join us in keeping Tower Hamlets FASCIST FREE – to all those who think they can help hand out legal info, defend the community or occupy our radical spaces. Whatever your abilities, there is a role for you to play in keeping the EDL from achieving what they need to boost morale – that is, an incursion into Tower Hamlets – the borough with London’s highest concentration of Muslims. This could be make or break for the EDL.
Some Groups may not wish to join us on the day in tower hamlets, from them we ask for solidarity. Solidarity Actions throughout London can help us greatly, whatever event whatever group has planned can you please do it on the 3^rd of September.
Solidarity is our Weapon – Class War not Race War!

Norway killer’s EDL links

Breivik’s Nazi email mates

Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer, emailed his Nazi manifesto to 1,000 contacts around the world—250 of them in Britain.

Dozens of high-ranking British National Party officials are on the list—and plenty of EDL racists too.

EDL supporter Daryl Hobson got the email, for example, and so did a C Donnellan. Clive Donnellan is an EDL and BNP supporter.

Bill Baker of the EDL got it too. He said Breivik’s “actions were great, his targets were wrong.”

‘I inspired him’ says EDL man

When EDL member Paul Ray, aka “Richard the Lionheart”, was first accused of being Breivik’s “mentor”, he denied it and pointed the finger at EDL funder Alan Lake.

But a few days later, he’d changed his mind. “I definitely could have been his inspiration,” he said.

EDL/NORWAY LOGIC

COMMENT BY IAN BONE ….To stop us being blown up by Islamacist nutters the EDL fan decides to ….blow us up. He’d even done a martyrdom video and copied the Mumbai attack. I don’t share the general enthusiasm to identify any assocition with Nazi groups – he’s a fucking mainstream Tory. Interesting today how columnists like Rod liddle have steered away to other subjects rather than the usual anti-immigration line. they’ll be back next week – and the Mail headline reads ‘Burning hatred of right wing gunman who hated immigrants and multi-culturalism’……..now I wonder where he got that from?

ANDERS BREIVIK’S BIG INFLUENCE – MELANIE PHILLIPS OF THE DAILY MAIL

The Mentor of terrorism

I wrote a few posts ago that Breivik was ‘Richard Littlejohn with a gun’ well it turns out that one of the sources most quoted – or directly lifted and cut and pasted -is our very own hate merchant Tory MELANIE PHILLIPS of the Daily Mail…..6 times directly lifted from.

Nuke Meltdowns: radiation goes off the scale!

(IPS/Al-Jazeera) – Record levels of radiation have been recorded at the damaged Fukushima Daiichi plant reactor, just months after the nuclear accident resulting from the earthquake and tsunami in March.

The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) reported that Geiger counters – a hand-held device used to measure radiation – registered their highest possible reading at the site on Monday.

Al Jazeera’s Aela Callan, reporting from Japan’s Ibaraki prefecture, said the level recorded was “fatal to humans” but that it was contained just to the plant’s site. However, scientists are planning to carry out more tests on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, TEPCO said it found another spot on the ventilation stack itself where radiation exceeded 10 sieverts per hour, a level that could lead to incapacitation or death after just several seconds of exposure.

The company used equipment to measure radiation from a distance and was unable to ascertain the exact level because the device’s maximum reading is 10 sieverts.
