Being the self-appointed leader of the Yorkshire EDL who has been given a platform to speak, you’d at least think that Gail Speight would be able to keep herself sober for a couple of hours to put her point across.
Nope, too much to ask. “A towering example of the fine English race.”

Brighton two-piece anarcho-punk band Burnt Cross knows how to give it to the listener straight. Brothers Rob and Paul Marriott only started making music in 2007, but they’ve quickly developed a dedicated following on the underground scene for their brand of angry, stripped-down DIY punk.

Reblogged from They shall not pass:
The organisers of a martial arts show in Prague have bowed to pressure from the media and sponsors and cancelled an appearance by a Hungarian fighter who’s covered from head to toe in Nazi tattoos. Attila Petrovszki, a Mixed Martial Arts fighter from Hungary, had been due to appear at the event - his tattoos covered in a T-shirt - on Friday; now organisers are looking for a replacement.

Cats Don’t Have Souls is the junkie, bastard child of the dream pop and industrial rock genres, and if I were to say the band’s sound lingers like the stench of piss on the NY subway, it would probably take it as a compliment.

Over the course of the last eight hours or so, EDL joint leader Kevin Carroll has been up in arms on Twitter about an apparent rape case involving a young girl at one of Luton’s schools. Despite never providing a source, news went somewhat viral on social networking sites, with far-right cronies, as usual, crying about Muslims “getting anyway with everything.”
Unsurprisingly, it turns out Kev Carroll has been lying, as Hope Not Hate covered in a recent article.
When myself and others took to Twitter to ask Kev why he would lie about such a thing, he went all quiet, and thought it was in his best interest to block tweets he just didn’t have the balls to answer to.
(And there’s me thinking the fascist EDL really stood for freedom of speech)

I randomly received this tweet a few moments ago from a “proud patriot”:
It baffles me that this mis-conception about skinheads being racist is still being thrown around in 2013.
To this girl, and anyone else who is ignorant to the sub-culture, please bare in mind that the original skinheads were in fact apolitical, with many then becoming anti-racist/anti-fascist. The early British sub-culture combined elements of English mods and immigrant Jamaican rude boys. It wasn’t till BONEHEADS (named after exactly what they are) attempted to hijack the scene that this whole way of life became distorted.
(A black skinhead? Say it ain’t so!)

I’m a Schwarzenegger fan in the sense that I find his action persona and, indeed, many of his films, entertaining (I am not a fan of his politics/off-screen ego). That said, I wasn’t particularly hyped about this film when I witnessed a rather old-looking Arnie plodding around in the trailer a few months back.

I was doing some browsing, and came across this hilarious self-declaration of the EDL/far-right’s calm, non-abusive drinking practices, as well as their open-armed nature towards foreigners (Moortown/Leeds Against the Islamic Centre Facebook page).
As well as thinking they know about proper ale, the EDL and Infidels now think they’ve got somewhat of a foot-hole in Leeds after their recent Moortown demo. They claim they have the backing of local residents, even though evidence obviously proves otherwise; and rumours have it the organisations are planning on having a Leeds version of the “March for England” protest (so another arse-kicking for them, then?)
These imbeciles fail to mention that their “demo” achieved absolutely nothing, though. Plans to build the community centre are still going ahead; and even though the EDL constantly whines that it is not a fascist organisation, their despicable practices on the day make it pretty damn clear that it is most certainly is.
