  1. @EUCommission My message to you:

    #MAGA oligarch like Elon Musk will meddle in European #elections more than the Russians ever did!

    We need to disconnect further from USA, and we need to do it quickly, or we might find ourselves in a Jan 6th situation, with #AfD or #NationalFront claiming elections were fraudulent, requesting military aid from the USA to help overturn the election ...

  2. Jake Broe’s dire warning to #europe

    If we elect far-right parties like #NationalFront in France, #Reform in the UK, #AfD in Germany, there’s a good chance they will emulate what Trump has done and go ahead and claim the #elections where they get voted out as fraudulent.

    These parties are tied to both #MAGA & Russian oligarch funding, and also would have no problem of requesting military support from USA to help them overthrow any election result they don’t like!

  3. #JDraper’s latest London #History Show: “How We Beat The #Fascists Last Time”

    A really good, solid 48 1/2 minutes on how #antifa activists from the musical and South Asian communities united to shut down the #UK's #NationalFront in the late 1970’s, detailing tactics and featuring interviews with organisers Tariq Mehmood and Red Saunders.

    (And, just quietly, Ms Draper is well worth a follow on #YouTube, IMO. Her videos are absolutely top-notch.)

  4. Just pondering parallels between current UK politics and the rise of the Nazis. If #Farage is an incipient Hitler, then Johnson was assuredly Von Papen. If he hadn’t purged his Tory party of all but the most unelectable pudding-brains, #Reform would still be a fringe group (even though news media would still have Nasty Nigel on speed-dial). Now they’re a national threat. And I’ve just realised he shares his initials with the #NationalFront.

  5. Huzzah! Jean-Marie Le Pen is dead! Would be cool if press outlets could get past continuously referring to him as a “firebrand” with “fiery rhetoric” (“arsonist” would be a better metaphor), but I guess we can’t have it all…

  6. Interview with Prof. Kehinde Andrews about recent (and not so recent) events in the UK:

    I really would have been surprised if [right-wing thugs] had come through London or Birmingham. I got a WhatsApp message saying they were coming through Handsworth in Birmingham, where it’s 80% ethnic minority, and I just knew that was never going to happen.

    Look, maybe they planned it and then they were cowards, but I just think they were never going to follow through. Realistically you can’t do an English Defence League march through someone else’s neighbourhood! They’d just get a kicking. Cowardice is a huge part of these British KKK types, pick people off when they feel strong, they’re not going to take on a whole community like that.

    Let me add as well, and I think this is something that’s been hugely underplayed in mainstream discussions, that it’s actually because there was so much racial violence in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s – when I was at school, we’d see National Front signs in people’s windows – precisely because of this racial violence and history, Black and Brown communities rallied together to defend themselves.

    And so because there’s a history of us defending ourselves, that’s why these far-right racists aren’t going to be coming back to these predominantly Black and Brown areas, where they know they can’t win. It’s not just coincidental, it’s part of our resistance to racism in this country, and it’s a story that’s underplayed. It’s community self-defence which has stopped National Front, English Defence League and all these other incursions.

  7. Scottish Government issues 'protest' statement ahead of #Glasgow '#FarRight' rally promoted by Tommy Robinson

    By Alistair Grant
    Published 2nd Aug 2024

    "The Scottish Government has warned the right to peaceful protest should not be used to justify hateful or violent behaviour ahead of a planned rally in Glasgow promoted by #TommyRobinson. A '#ProUK rally' has been planned for the city’s George Square on September 7, with the English Defence League (#EDL) founder, whose real name is #StephenYaxleyLennon, posting about the event on social media.

    "It follows violence in #Southport, Merseyside, this week after the killings of three young girls in a knife attack. Police said the scenes were sparked by supporters of the #farright claiming those present backed the EDL – although the organisation has not existed for around a decade.

    "Police across the country are bracing for more protests following the Southport stabbing attack, as one force said disorder 'simply will not be tolerated'.

    "The Muslim Council of Britain said hundreds of mosques were strengthening their security and putting in place protective measures ahead of more planned protests. There are fears Islamic places of worship could be targeted during demonstrations expected to take place over the weekend.

    "A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'The unacceptable violent disorder witnessed in other parts of the United Kingdom this week does not constitute peaceful protest. There is no current intelligence indicating similar incidents are likely in #Scotland, but we will continue to monitor developments.'

    "Mr Yaxley-Lennon shared a post on social media that said the Glasgow event would coincide with 'other pro-UK rallies'. The post said the event would be a 'peaceful protest to share our distrust and fear of the future'.

    "Mr Yaxley-Lennon did not indicate whether he planned to attend, tweeting only: 'The British are rising.' Mr Yaxley-Lennon is the subject of an arrest warrant after leaving the country shortly before a major legal case against him."

  12. CW: CW - Mention of violence and racism

    What motivated #skinhead attacks in the 70s?

    The late 1970s saw a wave of attacks on LGBT people and ethnic minorities by young #thugs of identifying as skinhead so what was the motive? Tony McMahon investigates.

    The 70s 80s 90s Blog
    January 24, 2021

    "In this series of blog posts I’m looking at the problem of the extreme Right in the 1970s and the misery it created for ethnic minorities and LGBT people in particular. The streets could be a dangerous place forty plus years ago. So what motivated thugs to launch unprovoked attacks that in a small number of cases resulted in death. I’ve been trawling through newspapers, research papers and other publications from the time to hear from those on all sides.

    "WARNING: There is language in this following blog post that some may find offensive – but was very common at the time. This is no way endorses these kind of terms.

    "As a 12-year-old in 1976, I biked with friends to the M25 motorway underpass ten minutes from where I lived. Chopper bikes, flared jeans, a Harlem Globe Trotters T-shirt and a brown corduroy jacket. That was my mid-70s uniform. We gazed down at the congealed, dust covered globules of blood on the pavement. This had been the very spot where two students, Dinesh Choudhri aged 19 and Riphi Alhadidi aged 22, had been stabbed to death.[1] [2]

    "They lived at the Queen Mary College halls of residence, three unmissable 1960s tower blocks near my old junior school in South Woodford. After the M25 motorway was built in the early 1970s, the students got to experience a constant roar of traffic and the attendant carbon monoxide fumes from their high-rise rooms.

    "Each day, Choudhri and Alhadidi would have caught the Central Line tube from this east London suburb to the college in Mile End. On the evening of their death, they were reportedly on their way or coming back from a local Chinese takeaway, the Ping Onn, opposite the ABC cinema. I went to that junior school with a girl who worked there helping her family at the counter from a young age.

    "In a completely unprovoked attack, Choudhri and Alhadidi were killed. Their assailants were described as a 'gang of white youths'. Nothing about this incident surprised us as kids at the time. We were all aware of the horribly termed 'Paki bashing' of young British Asians in the 1970s and that these crimes appeared to be consequence-free for the perpetrators.

    "On the 14 July in the middle of the riots, The Sun tabloid newspaper interviewed a 17-year-old skinhead from Battersea in south London called #SteveViney. His chilling words are a very accurate summation of what we assumed was the mental process of the average skinhead.

    "He began by professing his hatred of 'blacks and queers'. He then rattled off a victimhood narrative where at 13 he had been mugged by a black guy while when he had long hair, he was 'approached by queers'. There’s no suggestion that he had ever committed a very serious crime, but he openly described his relationship with British Asian youth:

    "'I hate Asians – Pakis and Indians. Don’t know why. We chase them and bash them up. It just gives you a bit of a kick when you’re drunk. You don’t touch West Indians because they can get violent, they carry knives and that. But Pakis, they just cower a bit.'

    "He wasn’t a member of the #NationalFront or #BritishMovement but supported them..."

  13. NEO-NAZIS ACCUSED IN LONDON RIOTS

    July 5, 1981
    New York Times

    [...] "The trouble apparently began when two busloads of #skinheads arrived in #Southall, not far from Heathrow Airport, for a rock concert given by a skinhead group in the Hambrough pub.

    "Southall has a large #Indian and #Pakistani population, and the skinheads have provided many recruits for the #whitesupremacist #NationalFront organization.

    "Many Britons were shocked today as they watched television, waiting for the start of the men's Wimbledon tennis final, to see film of a pitched battle in the London streets, with fire engines and police vans burning along with buildings.

    "The police said they had no evidence that the white youths were members of the National Front, a small extremist group that has been accused of #neonazism but local officials said they were sure that the front was involved.

    "'The skinheads were wearing National Front gear, #swastikas everywhere, and National Front written on their jackets,' said a spokesman for the Southall Youth Association. 'They sheltered behind the police barricades and threw stones at the crowd. Instead of arresting them, the police just pushed them back. It's not surprising people started to retaliate."

  14. So the #farright is doing better in #France than anywhere else in the #EUelections, securing 37% of seats and yet my mum still acts surprised #JordanBardella arrived in 1st place. “But mum,, the #RN secured 81 new seats in the French legislatives in 2022 (from 9!), in total number of votes the #nationalfront has been nearing the 40% bar for DECADES, seriously you are surprised?”. Douce France, that #fascist syphilitic habit will never go away, will it? theguardian.com/world/ng-inter

  15. Catherine Belton: #Russia is working to subvert French support for Ukraine, documents show

    "From the top floor of the house he shares here with a senior Russian diplomat — to whom he rents the apartment below — the man who helped bankroll the French presidential bid of far-right candidate Marine Le Pen has been working on plans to propel pro-Moscow politicians to power.

    'We have to change all the governments … All the governments in Western Europe will be changed,' Jean-Luc Schaffhauser, a former member of the European Parliament for Le Pen’s party, said in an interview. 'We have to control this. Take the leadership of this.'"

    Twenty-eight years ago today, at a match against Crystal Palace,  #Manchester United star Eric #Cantona #responded to #racial #abuse he was #subjected to from sieg heiling #NationalFront/#BritishNationalParty supporter #MatthewSimmons by #delivering a #flying #kick to his #head from the #pitch.

    Asked about the #incident two decades later, Cantona said “I didn’t #punch him strong enough. I should have #punched him #harder.”
