Anonymous sources in Edinburgh are claiming that the English Scottish Defence League has United Scotland behind The Ghost of Charles the Hammer and — shouting “No Surrender to Al Qaeda!” — successfully driven The Moorish Hordes And Their Communist Archarchist Allies off The Streets of Edinburgh.
The Scottish Defence League today achieved A Most Resounding Success in their continuing Campaign Against The Islamification of This Sceptred Isle.
Rallying to The Call of Ages to protect The Scottish Nation from The Threat of Foreign Invaders — truly these are The Inheritors of Arthur’s Legacy — the League assembled at A Pub in Edinburgh.
By this Brave & Resolute Action — which follows an earlier & equally glorious victory over The Communist Archarchists & The Radical Left Wing Scottish Nationalist Party in Glasgow in November — The Brave Boys & Fair Maiden of the League struck fear into the hearts of Islamo-Fascists all over the City… & indeed Scotland & The Worlde.
Numbering in their dozens, The Boys defied The Red Left by occupying a pub on The Royal Mile — a deft strategic maneuver that shook The Communist Archarchists outside to their very core. The Boys then surrounded the pub with Lothian & Borders Police. This Cunning Ploy easily defeated the hundreds of unScottish Rabble intent on thwarting The Boys’ Plan to rid Our Green & Pleasant Land of The Moorish Invaders what are intent on destroying Our Way of Life.
After this Dazzling Display of Valour, the League, in no way coerced by the Police, proceeded to board buses, and to exit the City.
“These communist archarchists who claim to make a stand against fascism are really the haters of this nation who support all forms of terrorism and marxist fascism…” [http://www.scottishdefenceleague.moonfruit.com/#/sdl-statement/4537800468].

As far as I understand in this county we are a democracy… and that means enjoying the right to say things that may be unpalatable to to others… so be it! Long live democracy! One has the feeling that many on the hard left are distinctly uncomfortable with this ideal… and have always been.
And hence we have had the hard left that is complicit in:
* covering up the Soviet murders at Katyn
* denying that Stalin killed 20 million
* actively supporting the Cuban regime that executes political prisoners
* giving wholesome [wholesale?] support to the LGBT whose Youth Chief Executive raped an 18 month old child
Shame on you!
This country meaning Scotland? If that’s what it says on the label, who am I to argue? My ancestors left it over 100 years ago. I’m not sure exactly what you’re complaining about tho’. The fact that a few score Englishmen and Scots were forced to spend maybe 4 or 5 hours in a pub, when what they really wanted to be doing was to be on the streets of Edinburgh, ‘defending’ Scotland from Muslims? As for “the left”, it’s big enough and ugly enough to speak for itself, but if you’ve detected some indication of there being opposition to racism and fascism within it, congratulations.
(Oh, and that stuff about Katyn, Stalin, Cuba and some anonymous CEO is pretty weird shit.)
Good post, @ndy. Humiliating the clowns in this way is better than banning them.
Cheers THR. I should add that I am plagiarise of miserable. As for banning them… dunno. I assume some worthies have floated the idea, but I’m not sure on what basis. The League didnae receive a permit to march afaik, but then again, I’m not sure that they applied for one either. And conceding to police or state authorities the authority to ban (render unlawful) public assemblies raises all sortsa issues… plus the UK already has Section 60 in place, so y’know…

Also!
The League were only able to assemble somewhere between 40 and possibly 80 or even 100 boofheads at Jenny Ha’s; the police numbered, in total, almost 1,000 (apparently), while several thousand, mostly organised by Scotland United/UAF, came to Edinburgh to oppose the ‘Scottish’ EDL, of which only several hundred (I dunno how many), mostly organised by Edinburgh AFA, were able and willing to confront the League directly. (Some League supporters didn’t make it to the pub apparently, and were left stranded at a local railway station.)
Given the DL’s track record, authorities assumed, reasonably, that there was significant potential for conflict between the DL and its opposition (and/or general public, especially random, presumed Muslims), and so dedicated enormous resources to ensuring that the DL was first safely contained (in a pub) and then whisked away when it became obvious that it was safe and reasonable to do so. Given also that the League(s) present themselves as macho macho I’ve got to be a macho man, it must’ve been a somewhat humiliating experience on the whole. On the other hand, to receive so much attention may have simply flattered their egos.
Whatever.
In any event, the closest Australia has come to anything like the League was a botched attempt to stage a bikini march (!) on a mosque in Coburg.
It wasn’t terribly successful.
Finally, it would be interesting to see the ‘Australian Defence League’ attempt something similar. Who knows, maybe they will.

WOW that’s your response to mass murder, political repression and paedophilia? What moral universe do you inhabit?
FORMAL REQUEST: Can you please IP ban me from your blog? It’s truly retarded and disgusting but somehow it has a strange fascination – I can’t resist checking in every now and then to see how truly degenerate “anarchist”, “anti-racist” “progressives” can be. But, whenever I click on that link and view the pathetic contents, I’m overwhelmed by feelings of depression and despair.
So, please: save me from myself, help restore my peace of mind: BAN ME FROM THIS POOR EXCUSE FOR A BLOG! PLEASE! I BEG YOU!
Quote: WOW that’s your response to mass murder, political repression and paedophilia? What moral universe do you inhabit?
NO that’s my response to an anonymous supporter of the SDL raising completely irrelevant issues. What do you think your bRane is for?
FORMAL REQUEST: Can you please attempt to make even a modicum of sense on my blog? Alternatively, stop trolling.
Instead of longing for the ban hammer might I suggest a bit of self flagellation?
When tempted by Anarchist blog sites just whip out the old Opus Dei knotted cords
and give yourself a good old lashing.
Failing that a cold shower with Pauline Hanson (before she jets off to Asian free UK) should work.
FORMAL REQUEST: Can you please attempt to make even a modicum of sense on my blog? Alternatively, stop trolling.
YES You’re right – I am trolling. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing. You’re an irresistible target! It’s like a train wreck or a car crash or whatever – you know that if you look you’re gonna be appalled and disgusted, but you just can’t help it anyway, against [your] better judgment.
However – I will do my best to avoid your shitty and irrelevant blog from now on, I’m sure it won’t be too hard to break the habit if [I] really try.
To “Paul Justo”: WTF are you talking about? Opus Dei, cold showers and fevered fantasies about Pauline Hanson and an “Asian free UK”? Are you some kind of racist sicko or something? It sounds to me like you haven’t really recovered from your private (possibl[y] Catholic) secondary school upbringing… get over it, brother…
Quote: NO that’s my response to an anonymous supporter of the SDL raising completely irrelevant issues. What do you think your bRane is for?
OOP sorry I missed this one – I must comment, quickly. I’m not a supporter of “SDL” – absolutely not. Making stupid assumptions, much?
As for being anonymous – ha that’s good coming from you, “@ndy”. Bloody hell…
PS – thanks for fixing my spelling mistakes, I’m not a very good typist. Cheers!
PPS – “bRane”! FUNNY!
Andrew.
You are the weakest link.
Goodbye.
Otherwise:
…
LOL.
From the SDL s(h)ite:
Union Jack? Thall’s Cac!
Chì mi na dathan – dearg, geal’s gorm
Chan eil mi moiteil asta ach tha nàire orm
Impeirileas, gràin-cinnidh – seo na tha i a’ciallachadh
Aparan an fheòladair – tha mi dol a dhiobhairt
Chì mi am bratach seo ’s bidh mi làn feirg
Chan eil ach aon bhratach a dhìth – am bratach dhubh’s dhearg!
An aon bhratach a tha dhìth tha i dubh’s dearg!
Am bratach dhubh’s dhearg!
Union Jack? Abair cac!
Union Jack? Thall’s cac!
Riaghaltas ann an Lunnainn gar cumail fo smachd
Le laghan agus riaghailtean gar tachdadh mar an sac
Bleigeardan Westminster gar làimhseachadh mar chac
Saorsa do dh’ Alba! Saorsa son Iorac!
Dortamaid Santorum air feadh an Union Jack
Aparan a’ bhuidseir còmhdaichte le cac
Dortamaid Santorum air feadh an Union Jack
Dortamaid Santorum…
Union Jack? Abair cac!
Union Jack? Thall’s cac!
Union Jack? Away and Shite!
I see the colours – red, white and blue
I’m not proud of them – I’m fuckin’ ashamed
Imperialism and racism – that’s what they symbolise
The Butcher’s Apron – I’m gonna puke
I see this flag and I’m filled with anger
There’s only one flag we need – the black and red flag!
The only flag we need is black and red
The black and red flag! The black and red flag!
Union Jack? What a load of fucking shite!
Union Jack? Get to fuck!
The London government keeping us under control
With laws and regulations choking us like asthma
The bastards in Westminster treating us like shit
Freedom for Scotland! Freedom for Iraq!
Let’s pour Santorum over the Union Jack
The Butcher’s Apron covered in shite
Let’s pour Santorum all over the Union Jack
Let’s pour Santorum – let’s pour Santorum all over the…
Union Jack? What a load of fucking shite!
Union Jack? Get to fuck!
Union Jack? What a load of fucking shite!
Union Jack? Get to fuck!
Glad to see my wee piece of satire is working its way around the web, some folk have already thought it an actual SDL statement. I would have thought the correct spelling and use of grammar would have been a dead giveaway however!
😀
Sweet.
And oh yeah.
The EDL claims a number of its members were arrested on their way to Edinburgh and others who arrived by train at Waverley station were then forced onto trains heading away from the city.
i was there. the coppers and the media were all on “our” side for once. the fash were unable to congregate or march because they were held in either waverley station or in the pub. there were plenty of smaller firms (of casuals and skinheads) roaming the streets and there were a few clashes. ultimately, we won but i think that was actually down to the polis… the UAF led group was a fucking joke but small groups of determined folk went their own way and actually did things instead of just joining the “Scotland Unite” march.
meanwhile, an article in the new issue of the “anti-german” former leftists journal Bahamas from Germany sings the praise of the EDL
I notice your Gates of Vienna link, and also Entdinglichung’s comment, so you might be interested in this:

Cuntjob!
GoV is ace! Baron Bodissey is a boofhead, and his analysis of ‘antifa’ is priceless. Btw, ‘anarchore’ is an anti-Semitic silly who routinely hides behind Bakunin.
As for the rest…
A handful of Scottish patriots march and all you commies get whipped up into a frenzy and feel like you have to convince the world you’re the representatives of “the people.”
The smallest piercing of light agitates the entire darkness…
Tell me now where the real power lies…
