Just a over month after an Alliance of socialists, ecumenical faith groups and pissed-off locals stopped an EDL march and sent the fascists packing, the EDL plan to do so again.
As noted in the last EDL gloat thread, http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...555966&page=28 the EDL marched down Forest Rd E17 without a cause or a plan. They failed to appreciate that they were not in the "heart of Islam" as Pam Geller would put it, but walking through a mixed area which houses part of London's Tamil community. There isn't a mosque in the vicinity. Local residents joined the antifascists who were blocking the direct path to the EDL rally point and shut off the side streets, blocking off the hapless EDL. Tommy Robinson and the EDL leadership scarpered leaving the rest of the 200 Nazis to be kettled by the Met and being forced to piss and defecate themselves in front of the good people of Walthamstow before being allowed to come home.
You would think they would have cut their losses, but it seems that Tommy Robinson just does not get it, as the EDL have cancelled a planned march in Norwich (Norwich??) in an attempt to "take back" Walthamstow on the 27th October.
They are refusing to liaise with the Met Police. I find this odd. The Met did have their fun with them by searching each and every one of them at the end and arresting those with drugs and other dodgy items, but without the Met the EDL would have been literally chased out of town. At least they were able to retire with ther colours last time.
The last march coincided with the Waltham Forest Art Fair. The new date co-incides with the London Anarchist book fair which attracts well over a thousand people.
It is unlikely that they will raise another 200 people, and no-one will surely be stupid enough to want to go through the same process again? Is the EDL leadership doing this because the grunts realise they were had, and that their leadership had thrown them to the wolves whilst they retreated to the comforts for a Luton pub?
I think there is more to this. The usual Pam Gellar and Robert Spencer blogs hyped up the EDL march and were outraged to find that Londoners resented being told what to do by foreigners using Northern Nazis as sockpuppets.
I had my fun watching the EDL get ejected from London, but a repeat performance would be indulgent. Ban the sods I say.
If you want to hear Tommy Robinson's video excusing the shambles, see my Public Profile. ( Alas, too many swear words to post here).
