EDL Hijack British Armed Forces Week

The EDL hijack the British Armed Forces home-coming parades throughout the whole of the United Kingdom, latching onto official mayoral welcomes, marching down streets cans and bottles in hand, deluded into believing that all the councillors, the town and city mayors, the soldiers and their friends and families who turn out are giving their tactit approval for everything the neo-Nazi rabble stand for.

Government to tell unemployed to ‘get migrating!’

EDL Plots August Race Riot in Bradford

The violent fascist EDL have confirmed they plan to inflict Bradford with Britain's deadliest-ever race riot in late August. Having cancelled an earlier visit to the multicultural rubble-strewn wreck of a city, the racist street-fighting army of football hooligans and hardcore white supremacists will invade Bradford, unleashing a pandemonium of ultra violence with chisels, bottles, knives and petrol bombs.

Call for a European Week of Action Against the Deportation Machine

Stop Deportation | 15-04-2010 01:16 | Migration | Sheffield | World

Stop Deportation, along with other groups in Europe, are proposing a European Week of Action Against the Deportation Machine, with a focus on joint European mass deportation flights and Frontex. The proposed date is the first week of June 2010, 1st-6th.

The idea is that groups and campaigns throughout Europe organise their own direct actions, demos and marches against forcible deportations from European countries, which are increasingly carried out through joint coordinated 'operations' involving private contractors and shadowy agencies like Frontex and the IOM. Protests will inevitably take a variety of shapes but a series of coordinated, decentralised actions and protests would make the message clearer and louder. A week, rather than a day, of action would allow groups more flexibility to do what they want to do.

By trying to widen the scope and diversity of the groups involved, we also want to draw attention to the fact that anti-deportation is not a 'single issue campaign'. People choose or are forced to migrate for a variety or reasons, from wars and armed conflicts fuelled by the arms trade and western interests, through poverty, exploitation, discrimination, gender oppression, domestic and state violence, to climate change.
