A substantial part of the UAF's membership is ambivalent towards political violence to say the least. Hence the lionization of "the battle of Cable Street" and the position of groups like Anitfa.
This is entirely within the traditions of the Left which has always advocated violent revolution and "direct action" over democratic reform (as far as I am aware Allende in Chili and Chavez in Venezuela are the only examples of avowedly capital S Socialists ever elected).
Fortunately most of the UAF would be physically incapable of effective violence against anyone, just as well for the BNP and NF because the same is true of them.
