The bastard EDL were having a protest in my hometown of Birmingham today, there was also an opposition rally being held by the UAF (unite against fascism) so I thought why not, lets get involved and show these bastards that they will not freely spout their hatred in my town if I have anything to say about it. Was cool to go out and meet a lot of nice peeps, some hardcore anti-fascists there and quite a big anti-police vibe – rightly so if you ask me, they were being dickheads all day, heavy handed with everyone. I saw them quite forcefully rag up a woman and throw her to the ground just because she was being quite vocal about her views. As they were letting us out of the kettle we had been kept in for two hours they filmed everyone so they had all of our faces, sure I understand this is probably just to make it easier to identify anyone involved in trouble later in the day, but it just pisses me off how much power and control they have over us.
I also saw one copper being forceful with another man and when the man asked for his badge number the fed completely ignored him and was covering up his badge number, he asked for it about 10 times and the fed ignored him everytime (the guy then began to film this). There was, unfortunately, a lot of young asian lads who had come just to cause trouble with the EDL, wearing balaclavas and being aggressive – not helping the UAF cause at all really and giving themselves a bad name, they are almost just as bad as the EDL really. There was a lot of decent people there also just peacefully showing support, and I’m glad I finally got off my arse to go one of these things, I think I’m going to start going to a lot more.
I also was a bit mashed still from last night and I fell asleep lying down on some steps and some people woke me up, they thought I had collapsed and were about to give me CPR!! LOL
UNITE AGAINST FASCISM PEEPS AND FUCK THE POLICE!!! raaaraaa
Why do people hate the EDL when all that they do is to protest against Islamic extremism and against Islamic terrorism? Do people on here support Islamic extremism or something? I have been to a couple EDL rallies and there are all sorts of people there including black people. I can’t understand why so many people keep calling the EDL racist and fascist when all they do is protest against Islamic extremism. It is also ironic that the same people who hate the EDL are ultra liberals yet Islamic extremism is anything but liberal.
