Should the people of Dudley be worried.

Really ? I thought I read from folk on this forum that right wingers didn't go making such a spectacle of themselves, protesting. It was only left wing yobs that did such things.

Or maybe it's different when the subject is religion rather than politics.

[tonyav]

Any bets on whether the left wing demonstrate on the same day.

This is just what Dudley needs...a load of uneducated racists slobs descending on them !

[mikey4444]

Have you noticed that the poster invites "football fans" to attend.....speak volumes !

[tonyav]

Couldn't help but notice that, mikey.

We have had this type of demonstration in Norwich. I was coincidently there when it happened I went to watch out of curiosity. Do they engage you in intellectual debate? NO! They fight what they see as fire with fire! They had no chance with me in the first place but what I saw just simply ashamed me!

[mikey4444]

Its part of the Far Rights campaign to disrupt ordinary peoples lives. They are incapable of doing it via the ballot box, so they are trying it by force, on the streets. If the Left turn out to disrupt these racists, then so be it. They will be doing us all a favour. If I lived closer, I would be marching in opposition as well.

I have warned here on AB in the past, that we ignore the Far Right at our peril. I have been howled down for so doing but this kind of thing is exactly what I have been afraid of.

To answer Tony's question above....yes, the people of Dudley should be worried about scum like these.

[Svejk]

Uneducated racist slobs. Don't they know that only Lefty is allowed to disrupt ordinary peoples lives.

[Gavmacp]

I personally have found offensive behaviour on the far left and right. If you disagree with what they are saying to you they become verbally aggressive and intimidating. If you want to engage with me, talk to me and more importantly listen.

I've been saying this for years mikey. Finally someone's on the same page page as me.

I think we are going to see a lot more of these demonstrations in the coming years, if they keep allowing the building of new Mosques around the Country!

[janbee]

I think this is just the start and that more demos are on the way.

[Hypognosis]

I only discovered, from a news story the other day, that church bells are rung ***during the night***, in some parts of the UK. (Hourly chimes, not peals, but enough to keep visiting tourists awake). This is only going to make it harder to apply noise abatement regulations to new-build mosques, isn't it?

Or is discussion of such issues a de facto hate crime?

As far as I can see this is a bunch of idiots who will only impress other idiots. Is this a secret plot? Who’s organising this campaign?

[mikey4444]

To answer your question Naomi, it appears to be a bunch of football hooligans :::::

"Members of the All Football Fans/Firms March Against Islamisation (AFFFMAI) group are planning to descend on the town on June 13"

It doesn't appear to be important enough to have its own Wiki page, but when you Google it, it takes straight to our old friends, the EDL ::

[Hypognosis]

Is this going to be a re-run of the "local councillor wins brownie points by stopping EDL march"?

~3 weeks' notice. Is that abnormally long/short or more or less standard?

[mikey4444]

Hypo...this organisation and its bigger mate, the EDL, are planning regular demos of this sort for the rest of the summer, if their Facebook page is anything to go by. More expense for the already beleaguered local Police to have to cope with.

Well, it was a weird segue from the last question in Frankie Boyle's Election Autopsy to that Guardian film.

The clip talbot posted I've seen before and it bothered me at the time but, compared to the EDL hoo'ns, they were just being cocky about how things would be (ie how she'd be permitted to dress), when they "take over". It's sinister but it's not as if it's going to happen, whereas thugs will use the anonymity of a sufficiently large mob to get away with murder. (aka 8 years' free room and board).
