Traditional policing returns at last as East End police wade into Antifa

Traditional policing returns at last as police wade into Antifa supporters who attacked a BNP meeting in Bethnal Green

Lions led by Donkeys

There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by that nationalists here are not embarrassed about the goings on in the Metropolitan Police Force.

"When is it going to stop?" we all ask, and "whatever next!" we keep saying.

Well good news at last everyone!

Here is an eye-witness report from last Sundays BNP Branch meeting at Bethnal Green where the boys and girls of the Met Police did us proud.

The meeting was quite large and successful, it had finished and about 8 of us were standing outside the hall waiting for our transport home.

There were two Police Officers also outside the hall, although they were there for a completely different reason as there had been no problems at the meeting.

All of a sudden about 30 fascists from what we believe to be a Tower Hamlets Anarchist group, who have made threats towards us on their web site, appeared from no where.

A young lady who had nothing to do with the meeting was struck in the face by one of these men, while the rest fronted up to the 8 British National Party supporters.

On their web site they gave the impression that they were going to cause us great harm. But here they were, 30 of them, 8 of us and they did nothing, they just stood there shouting abuse.

Within seconds Police came from nowhere. A WPC jumped on and took down the man responsible for punching the girl, and arrested him.

Other officers drew out their truncheons and laid into the mob sending them running. We could not see what went on after the Police had moved them further away from the hall, but we have it on good authority that the Police used Pepper spray on them. Can't confirm this myself.

I expect that 30 of these Anarchist fascists against one girl is about right for them, there wasn't, from what I could see, a 'real' man between them, they all looked like they were in serious need of a hearty meal. And a wash.

This is proper Policing, not the 'namby pamby' Policing we are used to. I would imagine the sight of a young white girl being struck by a man in a gang of 30, must have incensed the Officers to go in hard.

A great thank you and thumbs up to the Policemen and Women of the Met that day, they did Britain proud!

The term Anarchist fascist is absurd. It takes the biscuit for the silliest oxymoron I've heard this week.

Well done London Orbital. Keep the gaffes coming!

I don't think the BNP should be throwing around that term anyway, they mostly aren't fascists but they are certainly in no position to call others fascists.

Other than that meh, a few silly people met a silly people. Most antifa are Marxists not anarchists btw.

East London BNP Launch Scuppered.
Antifascist | 06.10.2008 14:39 | Anti-racism | London

News reaches us that the re-launch of the East London BNP group got off to a
less than successful start today. After what can only be described as a
gathering of the Darby and Joan club, the assembled geriatrics met at the
Salmon and ball pub on the corner of Bethnal green road. This it turns out was
just the re-direction point as it soon became clear that the grey haired
security team we're shepherding the old folk a mere one hundred meters away to
a church hall opposite! Well done on the planning there people!

A quick call to the church uncovered that the poor old vicar had no idea his
hall was being used by the fascist filth as it had been booked by a 'book
club', that old chestnut! The 'Vic' assured the concerned caller that he had
spoken to the encamped knuckle draggers and told them that they would have to
leave as God was none too happy with their choice of politics. The police
arrived soon after and encouraged the somewhat downhearted oldies to leave as
they were no longer welcome. They had been inside for little over an hour which we believe would have given them very little time to re-launch their sad little
group.

As the gaunt and the grey hoard Shuffled out from the hall in single file the anti fascist gathering (that had by now swelled to twice the size) decided to let the fascists know how welcome they really were. As one group followed the main body of fascists up the road, closely followed by the police, a smaller group went over to have a 'chat' with five or six 'men' still stood outside the hall. They were told in no uncertain terms that they were not wanted in East London and that they would be hounded at every opportunity. The aryan brothers were strangely quiet and the look on their faces said it all.

All in all a pretty good day for anti-fascists with plenty of photo opportunities and a fascist meeting stopped! The old heads of the East London BNP including the likes of Derek Beacon and Richard Edmonds must tonight be scratching their shiney domes wondering what went wrong.

Maybe stick to taking the old folk out to bingo in future eh chaps!

Antifascist

I can't find any mention of a woman being hit either in that article or in the comment left by one BNP supporter who was supposedly there.

i was there on sunday nigjt we got told to leave the meeting as we did not book under the right name the antifa pussies had nothing to do with this as when we left the hall there was nobody to be seen, as we went round the corner around 20 hooded students ran round the corner hoping to hit an old age pensioner but unfortuanately the old bill got there first. If they come just a couple f minuetes earlier there would have been a punch up of which the bnp would have won by far, so the next bnp meeting in bethenl green will happen again and no you people will NOt stop it!

It all seems like an excuse for various kinds of violent thugs from both sides to have street fights.

I am given to understand the emblem of Anitfa consists of a red and black flag.

Anarchist communists/socialists? If your looking for an oxymoron you won't do better than that.

I agree that LO's use of the word fascist to describe those who would use illegitimate violence in support of their political goals is inaccurate, terrorist would be more suitable.

Excellent point on names, wowbanger. Antifa are terrorsts. Incidentally, I'm in Birmingham in a couple of weeks if you fancy a coupe in costers or subside?

The BNP only went to have a meeting yet these left wing thugs went to beat up the old folks in the BNP.

Any genuine anti-immigrant Cornish Nationalist movement would face the same violence as the BNP does from the Left.

I think that might be correct however those I have none are mostly Marxists.

Unless you are familiar with the history of anarchism. All except a hand are and always have been socialists and usually communist. And if you know of the likes of Peter Kropotkin or Tolstoy or Proudhon it really isn't an oxymoron. I'm not sure why it would be.

Well that of course depends on one's idea of the what is legitimate. I don't support this violence however but it is hardly onesided.

I agree but the comments from some of the BNP show some of them are thugs. We could do without all the thugs.

It depends how it bases it I'd say. I often say I'm against mass immigration but as I don't make dubious comments against those of other races or sexual persuasions I don't get much real hostility.
