EDL teams up with BNP to attack anti-racist meeting
May 21, 2011
The racist thugs of the English Defence League teamed up with their Nazi pals in the British National Party to attack an anti-racist meeting in Barking on Thursday night. They smashed the windows of Crown House on Linton Road, where the meeting was taking place. A woman NHS worker who was attending the meeting was injured in the attack, requiring hospital treatment.
The meeting went ahead despite the EDL’s attempts to storm it. It had been called by local councillors and trade unionists together with UAF to defend multiculturalism in Barking & Dagenham. Speakers at the meeting included Councillor George Barratt, local National Union of Teachers rep Dominic Byrne and Steve Hedley from the RMT.
Some 25 EDL thugs threw bricks and rocks at Crown House causing damage to the building’s exterior. They chanted “EDL” and shouted racist abuse and death threats. At least two Barking BNP activists were involved in the mob attack. The EDL has been active in Barking & Dagenham recently whipping up race hatred over proposals to build a mosque in the borough. Anti-fascist activists believe the local BNP branch is turning back to street thuggery after the losing all 12 of its councillors in last year’s elections.

Four EDL jailed over affray at EDL march
21st May 2011

Four men at the forefront of a riotous crowd who tore down barriers and attacked the police during an EDL march in the Black Country have been locked up. The men all pleaded guilty to charges of affray at the EDL demonstration in Stafford Street car park, Dudley, on July 17 last year. They were sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court yesterday with Judge Patrick Thomas telling them it was a “significant, highly unpleasant and wholly unnecessary public disorder”.
Adrian Britton, aged 39, of High View Street, Dudley, was jailed for 15 months, while Daniel Holmes, 26, of St Matthews Close, Walsall, will serve 12 months. Meanwhile, father-to-be James Everard, 20, of Armstrong Close, Amblecote, Stourbridge, was locked up for nine months, along with Jake Hill, 19, of Alexander Hill, Brierley Hill, who was given six months. Judge Thomas said the sentences reflected what he said was not an issue with the EDL, but with four men who “seemed to take exception” to the police presence, throwing things and spitting at officers. “This was not an afternoon of fun — it was a dangerous, unpleasant incident involving a mob attack on police officers just doing their duty,” he said.
Holmes, who has a string of violence and affray convictions, was arrested after throwing things at police and performing a strange “chicken dance” and taunting police, as seen on CCTV footage shown in court. The CCTV also shows Everard helping to tear down the fencing and stamping on it, shouting at police and eventually hurling a section of it at officers. He was standing near Hill, who was waving a St George’s flag, spitting at police and punching the fences once they had been felled. Britton was not seen on film, but the court heard he was seen throwing a section of the fence at police. Defending Holmes, Mr Andrew Frymann said he had been drinking in a pub nearby and only joined in “because of the beer”.
Mr John Evans, defending Hill, said he had intended to protest legitimately. Meanwhile, Mr Wilbert Harris said Britton was “really sorry”, and Mr Simon Hanns, for Everard, said he had been swayed by what was happening around him.

Woman bit police officer after arrest

A WOMAN attacked several police officers, biting one, after her arrest during an English Defence League rally, a court heard. Police initially went to the aid of Antonia Claire Evans, who was suffering a suspected broken arm after a scuffle during the demonstration, in November last year. However, Durham Crown Court heard that a stand-off developed, before the officers tried to lift Evans out through the crowd.
Rachel Masters, prosecuting, said Evans shouted and swore and, despite her injury, lashed out at the officers with her injured arm. She punched another officer in the groin and headbutted a third after they tried to pin her to the ground. Amid efforts to put her into a police van, to remove her and place her in a cell at a police station, she continued to struggle, biting a custody officer’s index finger.
Miss Masters said the officer had to hit her three times to make her release her grip. The officer’s finger was cut by the bite, while another officer lost clumps of hair grabbed by Evans during the struggle. Miss Masters said the arrest at the rally, in Preston, Lancashire, was the culmination of a series of incidents involving Evans.
It included biting a security guard in the chest on June 3 as he tried to detain her outside the Tesco shop in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham, on suspicion of shoplifting. In a further incident, in October, she set a Staffordshire bull terrier and an alsatian on her then partner as he left her home in Newton Aycliffe after a row. Miss Masters said both dogs attacked and bit the man several times, while she landed several punches.
Evans, 24, of Mellanby Crescent, admitted four charges of assault causing actual bodily harm, three of common assault and being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control. Julie Clemitson, for Evans, said she has spent 123 days in custody, during which time she has progressed with psychiatric assistance.
Judge John Evans said that because of the time she had spent in custody, he could pass a prison sentence of 51 weeks, suspended for two years. She must undergo 12 months of probation supervision, to include sessions addressing alcohol misuse, while continuing to receive psychiatric help. She was also banned from owning dogs for seven years.

English Defence League to march through Plymouth

FAR-right street protest group the English Defence League is to march through Plymouth on Saturday as part of its campaign against what it calls the spread of Islamic extremism in Britain. A counter-march has been organised by Unison, Unite Against Facism (UAF) and the Trades Union Council.
The EDL march will start in Exeter Street at 1pm, there will be speeches in the city centre at 2pm and a march back to Exeter Street at 3pm. A statement on EDL Plymouth's Facebook posting for the event reads: "Above all the English Defence League will be attending Plymouth to hold a peaceful protest anyone causing trouble or making racist remarks will be removed from the demo and is likely to be arrested." The counter-event will start with a rally at the Jigsaw Garden near Drake Circus at 12pm and there will be a march at 1pm.
Devon and Cornwall Police are planning to deploy officers in the city centre during the events. Police are readying themselves for the potentially explosive rallies with ‘significant resources’ available. But they added that protesters have said they would hold peaceful demonstrations. “It’s important that we plan for every eventuality,” said Superintendent Craig Downham. "We’re expecting large numbers of people in the city centre and Barbican areas and protesters have stated that it is their intention to hold a peaceful assembly, however, we will have significant police resources available to deal with any situation which presents itself, in a fair, proportionate and impartial way.” He added that the police and local authority do not have powers to ban the protests and respect everyone’s democratic right to participate in peaceful protest.
But the Force is asking the community to be vigilant and inform the police immediately of any incidents. “Devon and Cornwall Police is experienced in policing large events and our commitment is to protect the communities we serve and keep the peace, while facilitating peaceful and lawful protests,” he said. “We want to reassure people that the city centre is still open for business. The two march routes have been negotiated in such a way that there’s less of a chance of disorder but we are there in large numbers should we need to use our powers to deal with anyone who is getting out of hand.”
The EDL have been leafleting around the city centre ahead of their rally with pamphlets saying “peaceful protest in Plymouth” and “defend our culture”. UAF said that a unity statement has been signed by local politicians and trade unionists in opposition to the EDL protest. To highlight this they are organising a multicultural We Are Plymouth demonstration. Kevin Treweeks, equalities officer, city of Plymouth branch UNISON, added that the group is also planning an afternoon of multi-cultural entertainment following the rally.
Events by EDL in other cities have seen a large number of arrests, violent clashes and criminal damage.
