UAF national Demo, Sat 6th November, Central London

everyone make the effort we must show the zionists we will no longer tolerate there islamaphobia FREE PALESTINE

Why the fuck would I want to associate myself with a front organisation for the SWP? UAF is also a state collaborator organisation, it's stewards are always assisting the police on marches.

Sorry, but no. The UAF will encourage you into a kettle and watch the police drag you away. The UAF will take your money and Weymann Bennet will spend it on buns, cakes, chips, beans and whatever else takes his fancy. The UAF are over. Finito. Done.

so if edl had 1000 at their last demo and only 300 today - how is that 'getting bigger'??? har har har...won't catch me beer belly boys!

Due the rise of the EDL who protest against Islamic extremism the UAF claim that fascism is on the rise again in the guise of Islamophobia! Who are they trying to kid? Protesting against Islamic extremism is not fascism. The SWP/UAF call anyone a fascist who doesn't along with their political correct madness.

I'm far from an SWPer or a UAFer. But there are many well documented links (mainstream and alternative media) between the EDL as a movement, many of it's leaders and followers and people/groups that support fascism.

The EDL do not seem to distinguish between an 'Islamic extremist' and other followers of Islam. My personal experience has shown that most followers of Islam are no more or less extreme that followers of other beliefs - including Christians, Conservatives, Sikhs, anarchists, and many more.

Amongst other arguments to suggest that the EDL are fascist is their focus one one particular group of 'extremists' to the exclusion of all others. A standard quote, but given 20th century European history, one worth bearing in mind. The irony about the Jews (of which I am one if that makes any difference) and the links between the EDL and Zionism are not lost on me.

They came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
