Occupy Nottingham were served yesterday with notice to leave within 7 days, before eviction papers are served by the council.

There is no valid need nor reason at all for the council to evict Occupy Notingham, a deal had been mutually agreed upon provisionally by representatives of both parties, & actions were being taken to set it that in motion & to show good faith.

The deal which would be a s…

The EDL had no fun in Leicester. Stepping out of their coaches, punters were greeted by a fuzzy sound system blaring miserable tunes to a small clump of die-hard xenophobes clustered in a car park in an industrial estate near a frozen river. Even at this early hour, many were pissed: one attendee had to chug his bottle of Lambrini before being allowed off the coach by the police, in case he b…

On Saturday February 4th the EDL descended on Leicester. The EDL previously visited Leicester in October 2010. This time round, they weren't able to turnout as many supporters, but once again there was a mobilisation of anti-fascists, while local youth organised to defend their own communities.

On Saturday 4th February, numerous anti-fascists withstood freezing temperatures and a bitterly cold windchill to stand against the fascist EDL’s visit to Leicester. 

Prior to this, Mayor Peter Soulsby, Leicester City Council, politicians, some ‘community leaders’ and the police had predictably told locals to stay at home and see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.  Shops were advised …

Crivvens! Jings! And Help Ma Boab! What a total failure for both the English Defence League and the Infidels this weekend. The EDL called a ‘national’ demo in Leicester and managed to get a paltry 700, which is rubbish, but the Infidels breakaway faction had such a piss poor turnout in Rochdale that even one of their staunchest supporters claimed it ‘was a disaster.’ Shame...

Despite the freezing cold Autonomous Nottingham hit the road to travel down the A46 to Morton Hall Immigration Removal Centre, to hold a solidarity noise demo with those imprisoned by this countries cruel and abusive government. With a sound system pumping out revolutionary hip hop, pots, pans, xylophones, air horns and our gobs we made a racket and circled the prisons perimeter. Those inside…

Last week, as part of their increasingly desperate PR attempts, the EDL published an "open letter to Leicester businesses" telling them not to worry about the EDL's plans to march through the city.  As this piece on "EDL Exposed" blog shows, contrasting that open letter with a film clip of the EDL's finest in action at the last EDL demo in Leicester might shine some light onto the reality behind t…

Stop the racist and fascist EDL on Leicester Sat 4th

 

 

The EDL will be meeting from 11am on Saturday 4th Feb for their Leicester march. The muster point is St Margaret’s Pastures, just outside the ring road. The march will start at 12.30pm when they’ll go onto St Margaret’s Way, Burley’s Way, Abbey St, right onto Belgrave Gate, then Church St and back to St Margaret’s Pastures where they will be allowed a static demo for a limited period of …

The EDL have announced that they will be going to Leicester for their next national demo on 4th Feb. They say that this is in response to the “racist” attack on Rhea Page, who was assaulted by four women of Somali descent in Leicester in June 2010. The women all received suspended sentences in November.

A new independent blog has been set up to monitor the far right in the East Midlands.

The East Midlands Anti-fascist blog can be found at  http://emaf.noblogs.org/ , and will be publishing news and analysis on the (mis)adventures of the various far-right losers across our region. There are a number of useful and informative anti-fascist blogs and web resources out there now, and these can be…

Happy new year antifascists! Hackers Anonymous have got the 2012 off to a good start with Operation Blitzkrieg, a sustained assault on neo-Nazi websites in order to expose the fash.

One of their targets was the infamous Blood & Honour network, which promoted Nazi gigs and bands and was linked to wannabe stormtroopers, Combat 18. B&H was founded by Ian Stuart and took its name from the motto…

Today two of Stephen Lawrence's murderers were sentenced. Met police chiefs have been out in a public relations frenzy to paint themselves as finally having overcome the 'institutional racism' that the Macpherson inquiry found them guilty of. But recent news of racist coppers who would have been sacked in any other job keeping their jobs suggests otherwise.

A police officer is being investigated for allegedly posting foul mouthed and possibly racist material on his Facebook page.

A selection of the posts, some of which date back to the beginning of the year, were sent to the Leicester Mercury anonymously. In one, the officer, who the Leicester Mercury is not naming, uses foul language about "foreigners", calling them "scum".

Britain's biggest unions are warning of a threat of violence by far-right groups during national strike action this month, amid concern that fascist elements are increasingly intent on targeting striking public sector workers.

Unite, Unison and the TUC said they were taking the prospect of disruption by far-right su…

The Criminal Department team at KieranClarkGreen solicitors in Chesterfield are moving to join another firm of solicitors and will therefore have new contact details.

Soon after this year's London Anarchist Bookfair, 'exhausted anarchist' and former Class War editor, Paul Stott, wrote his review on his blog. As well as rightly praising the organisation of the event, Stott had some criticisms, largely aimed at the inclusion of a workshop on 'White Privilege and Racism'

Gavin Leist, aged 20 from Ratcliffe Road, Loughborough,has been found guilty of possessing and distributing child pornography of children under 13.

Leist stood for the BNP at Leicestershire County Council elections in 2009 for Loughborough North West, which covers Thorpe Acre and Garendon Park. He gained 281 votes, but was knocked out by Labour, finishing last.
