EDL: BRUM FASH CLASH

The EDL are taking their roadshow back to Brum this week. SchNEWS assumes they’ll be hoping to avoid a re-run of their last two visits to the UK’s second largest city (see SchNEWS 687) , which saw them chased round the town centre by Asian youth and anti-fascists.

A spokesman for the autonomous Anti-Fascist Network told SchNEWS “After the poor showing in Tower Hamlets (see SchNEWS 787 – Ed) and the splits in the movement with the various Infidel groups heading off on race-hate trajectories of their own the EDL are struggling to maintain their profile – they can be beaten”.

At the moment the EDL are going to be confined to a static demo in Centenary Square – meeting 12.30pm, while counter-protestors are set to gather just across the way in Chamberlain Sq. Nearby Victoria Square is currently the scene of Occupy Birmingham, now into its fourth week.

Meet 12pm Chamberlain Square – Birmingham
