With all the arrests In the UAF of late and links of the UAF to some fires In Mosques In Luton, he better soon disassociate himself with them.

Why do some Americans do this ?

Post by Oscar Namechange »

Last weekend, Tony Brett, a Liberal Democrat councillor in Oxford and the city’s deputy lord mayor, found what he called a “disgraceful rabble of people climbing on the city’s main war memorial — squashing, he said, the flowers that mourners had placed there, then trying to remove half of them altogether and “jeering other visitors as they paid their respects.

That day, the memorial was supposed to be the scene of a wreath-laying by the far-Right, racist English Defence League. But none of the people laying flowers and being jeered bore any kind of EDL insignia and none of the wreaths had any kind of card or message from the group.

Neither Mr Brett, nor a local newspaper reporter on the scene, saw any sign of any EDL presence.

All the aggro, Mr Brett said — he called it the “hate — came from the self-appointed opponents of bigotry, a group called Unite Against Fascism (UAF). UAF’s response was to start an online petition saying that merely by criticising them Mr Brett had proved himself an EDL patsy, “not a fit representative for Oxford’s wonderful and multi-ethnic community, and must resign immediately.

“It seemed to me they were doing exactly the kind of thing they were supposed to be protesting against, said Mr Brett. “I will absolutely not support any hint of racism, Islamophobia or any other form of hate, be it from the EDL or any other group. That day I saw it from another group.

"Searchlight once claimed" is no proof to me.

I know nothing about the UAF, do they have any figure head spokes people?

Are they standing for election ?

Can anyone standing on the sidelines differentiate between these marauding mobs ? they all seem very much the same to me............a frightening waste of space.

What you are missing Is If you look at many of the footage on youtube of UAF, you will see they are predominantly Asians attacking our police, so yes, he's right.

No. Im not swerving anything! I'm highlighting something fundamentally important

You missed entirely, probably deliberately, the most important statement of that passage. It obviously passed you by. It was of no interest to you. Why ?

“I will absolutely not support any hint of racism, Islamophobia or any other form of hate, be it from the EDL or any other group. That day I saw it from another group.


Be it from EDL or UAF. The hatred, racism and Islamophobia is wrong. Yes ?

Jesus Christ ! Are you being deliberately obtuse ? Please don't criticize us for "swerving" and "missing the point" while running around like a ferret on Redbull.

Firstly, "So why are the EDL racist ?" What is it that you can't see that we all can ? I can find no other description for hooligan rabble of a certain political persuasion, namely far right - liberals they aint - despite Robinsons best efforts at toning down his rhetoric when he thinks the cameras are on him. You're taken in with his charm, clearly

Secondly, you didn't answer my question with regards to Tony Bretts important statement ....the hatred, racism and Islamophobia is wrong. Yes ?

I've just had a message :

Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carrol have been arrested In Tower Hamlets, London after both were..... errrr attacked. The charge ???? Suspicion of obstructing the police.

I think there's a possibility they removed both for their own safety but police did tell the pair to stay away from a certain Mosque. The plan of the day was simply to parade as per usual but the route happened to pass past the Mosque.
