Leicester will be the death of the EDL

After getting well and truly battered in Bradford the EDL think that they will rally their troops in Leicester. They hope to forge an unlikely alliance of Sikhs, Hindus and white supremacists against the "muzzies". This will fail and Leicester's strong Asian community will make sure they are sent packing.

The EDL reckon they're going to get 3,000 to Leicester. They said they'd have 5,000 in Bradford and that only turned out to be 700 so we'll be expecting about 400 of them this time. They're a dwindling force desperate for new allies.

That's why some of them are trying to stir up tensions between different religious groups within the Asian community in the vain hope that armies of Sikhs and Hindus will join them. Fortunately most of Leicester's Asians realise that the real enemies are the EDL and not their Muslim neighbours. They know that the EDL aren't too discriminate when bashing "Pakis" as seen in their attack on a Hindu temple in Dudley.

Already the most desperate and clueless "antifascist" group, the UAF, are trying to get people to their demonstration. Antifascists in Leicester should not trust the UAF, who have grassed up other antifascists to the police and whose tactics are a diversion from real antifascism. Their demonstrations, miles away from the EDL, have given confidence and room to manoeuvre to our enemies.

The most serious opposition to the EDL has always come from autonomous organisation. In Bradford, when some EDL members broke out of their pen and headed towards Asian areas intent on causing trouble, it was men and women of the local community, joined by white antifascists, who dealt with them in no uncertain terms. The EDL took a good hiding that day.

We need to get people out on the streets to oppose the EDL. We need to protect ourselves from the racists and the police by masking up and working with our friends, making sure we stay outside of police kettles and cordons. We need to make sure that all of Leicester's communities know what is happening and don't stay at home.

Now is the perfect time to finish off the EDL. They were whipped in Bradford and are being torn apart between rival factions. Their leaders crave a respectability they will never get, the Nazis want a race war, and the average member is sick of both. They're not singing any more!

The EDL have bitten off more than they can chew by choosing Leicester. We'll make sure that they are soundly defeated on the streets by finishing off the demolition job that was begun in Bradford.

Shame that every EDL protest has apparently been "the death of the EDL" yet their still standing strong.

I also like how you're claiming one video of an EDL lad getting hit as a victory, one punch doesn't mean the EDL got battered mate.

The majority went to Bradford and left without any opposition and near the buses where local Asians tried to wind them up the EDL broke free and gave them a battering.

Don't get over-confident there fella, the EDL are still a threat.

lol! your lads took a lot more than one punch. you left town in a hail of bricks with your tails between your legs. no matter how many stories you tell about your paki bashing exploits we don't believe you. you're living in fantasy land.

best laughs of the day definitely came when you attacked your own stewards though.

edl are a joke.

You can't just roll into LEICESTER and take the piss without consequences.

This is the big one. You are playing with fire and about to get burnt. Leave women and children at home.

EDL show their true colours

Just out of interest, how many of these attacks is it going to take before UAF sort their fucking security out?

Why is "antifascist" quoted in this article.

UAF -IS- an antifascists organisation and your use of the quotation marks is perjorative.

Like it or not...

Whether we like it or not, Leicester needs to be the end of EDL and any other form of racist protest. The EDL have advised that this coming Saturday will be a peaceful march in defence of their beliefs?? What does going out and disrupting a city by beating innocent people because of their religion and colour prove?! The EDL dislike Muslims, Sikhs, Indians of any religion, we get it, what else is their to prove?! Whether you give them a 'good hiding' or receive one, you won't stop or prove anything! The EDL are nothing but little boys having organised fights to get off on, it's pathetic! This weekend won't change a thing, I'd like to know exactly what EDL feel this coming Saturday is going to prove?! I just hope innocent people are not hurt. I urge everyone to stay away from this glorified school ground scrap.
