Revolting anti-Irish march in Liverpool

MakeEmLaugh

By now, many of you will have heard of the demonstration organised by right-wing nutjobs the North-West Infidels (NWI) this Saturday in Liverpool. These thugs are a splinter group from the English Defence League (EDL), ironically, formed by second-generation Irishman Stephen Lennon (alias 'Tommy Robinson')

http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/generationemigration/files/2012/07/brian5.jpg

They proclaim to be conducting an anti-IRA march in Liverpool this Saturday, yet the event they are disrupting is actually a rally for "Working Class Unity Against Racism & Fascism". The words "Irish", "Ireland", "Catholic", "Republican", "Sinn Fein" or "IRA" are never used.

http://liveraf.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/h.jpg

This is simply an excuse for moronic thugs to vent their spleens against their white Celtic neighbours, instead of members of the Asian community, whom they so often attack. They claim that "anti-British feeling is projected... by immigrant families from the Republic of Ireland"

They also claim, "these people are much like the Islamics (sic), they take take take with one hand and abuse their host nation with the other"(!)

This would all be laughable, considering the contribution hard-working Irish immigrants made to Liverpool and Britain as a whole, and the fact that the majority of the IRA who wreaked havoc on Britain were from Northern Ireland, not the Republic. However, these knuckle-draggers are capable of causing serious damage.

They do not have an official website, but they do have a facebook page.

They could do with being told where they can shove their "Loyalist" march.

Those invovled in the march are no worse than the tens of thousands of Irish people who have spent the past week posting vile and disgusting comments about the people and country of Mauritius.

Yes.

Probably much the same people who trashed Lansdowne Rd in 1995

What is a "Sinn Fien"?

It's a positive story. We're doing something right if a bunch of skangers like that don't like us. March on lads.

ColeTrain

Any excuse for a march. Their type are obsessed with it.

How so?

LH Pathe

Maybe they're the minority of Liverpudlians that are english and feel frustrated that it feels more like Ireland than england. Can't even shout for their national team!

Agreed. And no doubt those same people who posted those comments about Mauritius will be going on about how disgraceful this is.

Yes, I think that having an anti-Irish march is disgraceful, but so is judging the whole of Mauritius over the actions of a few Mauritiuns.

A wee look on Google links this group more to the National Front, if any group at all. They are not E.D.L. backed in any way, the E.D.L. dislike the N.F. and will expel and N.F. members from their ranks if discovered.

I don't see the big deal here to be honest. If anything, they are standing up for the right minded Irish people who can't stand the IRA in any form who are the vast majority of Irish people. So I would say well done to them in that regard.

In what possible way could that poster be interpreted as standing up for "right minded Irish people" ???

It brands all Irish people in Liverpool as dole scrounging RA heads for Christ's sake - did you even read the poster?

Plus they are doing so under the pretext of an "IRA march" that doesn't exist

Marcellus Jerome Clarke

I read the OP in reference to a IRA march. And you do have pro IRA marches in Liverpool. Looking at the page, there is a section on a band commemorating a IRA terrorist. So it does take place.

ygolometsipe

I hear Fernando Torres doesn't like to march, no marching in sunny Spain

Nailz

So is the majority of those who have marched Scousers? I that was the case it would explain certain aspects of it.

You think James Larkin was an IRA Terrorist? Not that you had a point to start with but even if you did it would now be invalid.

As moronic as the anti-Mauritian crowd are, at least they're not planning to assault anyone.

Marcellus Jerome Clarke

Yes, covered in RIRA slogans. Do they support terrorism?

Marcellus, you organising a bus ??

Well that's Liverpool off my places to visit, invest or spend money list !

That and the "scouse brow" ...and for inflicting Brookside on us to add to the gloom in the 80s

Now this is the reason why I never considered myself English, despite being born and bred in England till I was 14 and and still speaking with an English accent still to this day.

I hope the anti plastic paddies understand what it was like for some of us in England occassionally and those of us who subject to this sort of crap "f*** off back to Ireland" etc. Don't get me wrong the vast majority of English people are good people nothing like these retards.

But the vast majority of English don't consider somebody with two irish parents, English, never have done and I know that with experiance.

Anything to indicate theyre from the republic? Very little support for the 32CSM outside of the 6 counties (not much more inside them either)

Is the 'James Larkin Society' linked to the flute band though? It's being addressed by mainstream union leaders, so doesn't seem that extreme. http://www.searchlightmagazine.com/news/national-news/fascist-and-racist-threats-won-t-deter-liverpool-antiracist-antifascist-march-and-rally

is there a difference - i lived in england in the 80s , and racism from these nuts, is what true racism is - not trading insults during a competive football match , that the mainstream media have their knickers in a twist about - when these guys marched , there was real hatred

Quite a lot of those posting gave issued threats. A number have promised that if they meet any people from Mauritis in Ireland they will beat then.

The people on this march are the fringes of the fringes, not worth worrying about, football firm types attracted to Ulster Loyalism by it's macho posturing and image.

Most English people couldn't give a monkeys about the RA even when they were bombing the place.

Don't let it put anyone off Liverpool either, great craic at the weekends, good pubs,culture and friendly people who are very much like the Irish, a good percentage of them actually being of Irish stock, most Scousers have faces you'd only get over here

Liverpool and Glasgow are where hundreds of thousands of starving Irish flowed into during the famine and it´s these two cities where there has always being resistance. Both cities have a history of Orangeism.

Except that having a penchant for getting all dressed up in bright colours and blowing flutes is rather camp like a troop of majorettes.

Obsessed, hardly. Making a comparison between two rather disgusting and sad groups of people is hardly being obsessed.

Neither bothers me in the least, I couldn't care less if every major city in England had anti Irish marches not could I care if another Irish girl was murdered in Mauritius. As sad as either would be neither will affect my day to say life. I wonder if travel agents will stop booking holidays to England due to these matches or dies their grandstanding and desperate attempts to garner publicity only apply to countries where very few Irish customers travel.

I just don't know why you had to bring Mauritius into this thread. It is unrelated. The travel agents and the boycott are attention/kneejerk reaction but you seem really bothered by it!

If people don't want to go to Mauritius, let them off! I'm sure they were all highly travelled tourists, used of staying in 5 star resorts in the Indian ocean.

And if another girl is killed in Mauritius, lets just hope that you didn't know her, for fear day to day it would interfer with your day to day life.

I brought it in to compare like with like. The people behind this march are bigoted, backward idiots who really need to catch up with the rest of us and start living in the 21st century. It's very easy to sit back and talk of how offended we all are by the march but as far as I'm concerned those behind the proposed boycott of Mauritius and those posting the despicable comments on social networking sites are every bit as backward and vile as those behind the march.

As for the not caring part, well the constant coverage of the murder, the trial and the subsequent outrage over the verdict has made it hard to care. People are murdered every day and there are numerous examples if Irish people murdered abroad who never had justice fine for them yet few people seem to care. The media have turned the trial from a two ring to a three ring circus and are going to continue to milk the story for the next while while relegating other more imporrant news to a a few quick lines.

does the murder of this one woman deserve more coverage and public out cry to that of any other Irish woman who has been murdered over the past few years? Does the fact that her father in law us somewhat famous to certain people make it more of a tragedy than any other murder? Much like the public out cry over Maddie, the media obsession with this case is nothing more than pretty white girl syndrome. I wonder if it was a woman from an impoverished area who was murdered while on say a booze cruise would people be so very outraged?

Yes, completely agree wih you that these acts of hatered is as vile and uncalled for as calling of Mauritian people 'dogs' and 'monkeys'. I also agree with you that the media coverage is intense with the murder trial but I honestly think people have such an interest in it, not only because her family are well known, but the sheer tragedy of it.

Now before you jump on me for, I'm not saying Micheala's death is any more tragic then another persons but perhaps the unfairness and sheer misfortune of it you know? I'm not going to preach to you, you know the details aswell as I do. Then the fcuk up of the investigation, then the dredging up of very personal information and accusing of John during the trial and then the photos. It's lumping shiite upon shiite on the family.

There are always going to be people jumping on the bandwagon and 'blame' the country, it's people and all the rest, pass no heed. But people are just pissed off, surely you can understand that? Please God the investigation will continue and the murders will be convicted but unfortunatly the media circus will go on until that.

And by the way, Mickey Harte, the Tyrone manage, is her father, not father in law.

What's the point in holding an anti-Irish march if there are no pro-Irish people around to antagonise...

... wait a sec... this sounds awfully familiar...

there would be a lot , the last irish/english bigots that tried to march through liverpool was a republican one back in feb ,it was the commeration parade of sean phelan,he was a IRA republican member who was born in liverpool ,they turned up with a irish pipe band but it was turned away before it got to the liverpool city centre,notice the usual suspects do not mention that one on the threads.
