The “Anti-Islamification” conference organised by a far right group in Cologne (K\u00f6ln), Germany appears to have come a cropper. Tony Paterson in Berlin reckons<\/a> “No British participants were scheduled”, which may be the case, but it appears certain that members of the BNP have gone anyway: Richard Barnbrook, a member of the Greater London Assembly, is one. “The Islamo-Marxists have been up to their usual tricks here in Cologne. Just like they did at the recent BNP RWB<\/a> festival back home in Derbyshire” moans Richard on his blog. One rather obvious difference is the fact that tens of thousands, not many hundreds, are anti-Pro-Cologne, and Weyman Bennett isn’t the one giving orders<\/a>. Thus a planned rally in the city centre has been cancelled<\/a> by police in order to avoid further clashes with counter-protesters, while the poor old rightists are being harassed at every opportunity:<\/p>\n

…Police said 40,000 people protested against the rally. It had been expected to attract 1,500 people but only dozens made it.<\/p>\n

Most of the protesters were peaceful, although roads and rail lines leading to the centre of Cologne were blocked by demonstrators in sit-down strikes.<\/p>\n

But a Friday evening gathering of Pro-Cologne participants on a Rhine River pleasure boat turned violent when stones hurled by leftist protesters from the shore broke windows. There were further clashes between small numbers on both sides on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Left-wing demonstrators blocked a rail line which a group of 150 right-wing activists were using to travel into the city centre from the airport, police said…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…and ‘No Beer for Nazis’<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, around 150 bars in Cologne stopped selling Pro-Koeln members the local Kolsch beer with some taxi and bus drivers also refusing to transport delegates to the congress.<\/p>\n

One hotel even cancelled bookings made by “undesirables.”<\/p>\n
