Fascists Promise to Take Their Poisonous Hatred to Oxford
EDL Retreat Before the Battle! |
Brighton’s miserable EDL contingent |
Only Sussex Friends of Israel seemed to love MFE/EDL |
EDL Surrender Notice |
Every inch was a struggle |
On April 22nd 2012 a group called March for England, which
contained a mixture of EDL, Infidels, Casuals and Gullibles, staged another of
their St. George Day’s marches. What
happened was a mass mobilisation by the local Anti-Fascist Network and a
spontaneous revulsion by local people on the day. I did a report EDL/MFE – We Won the Day which has a very interesting video of the day on it.
Barely enough room for the protesters in 2012 |
Ring of police protect MFE |
Clearly they don’t appreciate irony |
Little did they know what was in store |
The result was that the Police’s attempt to march MFE
through the town was halted after barely a quarter of a mile as the fascists
were shunted down a side street and given a ring of protection by the Police at
their meeting point before being bundled off on the train. Since then MFE have been given lousy
sea-front routes, where their only audience were anti-fascists or the seagulls. This year they called it a day and in their
place the English Defence League announced a march. Now the EDL have had second thoughts and
decided that cowardice is the better part of valour!

Pushed down Church Street the fascists lost their appetite for the Brighton air |

Another local victory over fascism!
