UAF

Unite Against Fascism (UAF) often accuse the EDL of being a violent group, but the UAF need to be honest about who is more reponsible for violence, the UAF or the EDL.

On 20th March, the English Defence League held a demonstration against Islamism and Shariah/Sharia Law. The UAF (as usual) counter-demonstrated. An interview on BBC Five Live exposed the UAF's violence that day. During the interview, a member of the public, who was completely uninvolved with the EDL or UAF, told her story of what she had seen.

The member of the public told of how she went shopping in Bolton that day, and she saw the UAF's demonstration. She told of how the UAF were causing trouble and attacking the police. The EDL had not even arrived yet. According to the woman being interviewed, the UAF were thugs.

Her account of the story is backed by a video I have seen, which shows UAF members trying to bring down a fence. The EDL had probably not even arrived yet. There is a link to the video at the end of this blog entry.

The evidence I have seen elsewhere, has suggested the UAF were trying to break through police lines to get to where the EDL were going to demonstrate. If this is true, it means the UAF were trying to stop a legal demonstration. Which shows their anti-freespeech tendencies. By the end of the day, after the EDL had demonstrated, there had been between 70 to 80 people arrested. 55 were from the UAF.

Those arrested included the UAF Joint Secretary Weyman Bennett, and senior member Martin Smith.

There's more. As if the violence of the UAF at Bolton wasn't enough, we hear the news of Martin Smith's court case.

Yes at a UAF protest against the BNP, a police officer was allegedly assaulted by Martin Smith who also happens to be a senior member of the UAF. He now has a criminal record for assaulting a police officer.

You see, the UAF don't believe in peaceful protests, if they did they wouldn't incite hundreds of Muslims to go into violent frenzies, like in Tower Hamlets where their scaremongering caused Muslims to go into an anti-white frenzy on more than one occasion. Yes the UAF do like scare-mongering. We all know that.

There are signs the UAF are losing their impact, their numbers at their recent protests were mostly numbering hundreds, not thousands like the EDL's demos have. Honestly, the UAF for laughing at now. If you look at their website you will see them talk about the support they are getting, but the support is really from Trade Unions and rappers, singers etc that I've never heard of.

Anyway, the UAF are a group of violent Socialists/Marxists. What's new?
