David Irving, Notorious Holocaust Denier and Anti-Semite to embark on UK Hate Tour.




David Irving the infamous Nazi apologist is about to launch a national UK tour.The subject of the tour :

The Life and Death of Heinrich Himmler.

 This is not the first time he has been out on the stump with this one.He did a U.S. tour on Himmler two years ago . He will doubtless be plugging his video of the same name.
The way it works is this you buy the tickets online from sites like this.

About 24 hours beforehand you will find out where Reichsführer Irving will be holding forth on Himmler.
From what I can gather the line is Hitler was kept in the dark about what Irving still refuses to call the Holocaust.However it was all the allies fault ,because Himmler wouldn't have done it if it hadn't been for the allied bombing.

So it was all Churchill's fault.

Er, that thing that didn't happen .

You all got that?

When Irving toured the U.S.A. some time back there were attempts to vet attendees to ensure no Jews got tickets. You can read about that here.

Below the tour dates:


18th August 6.30pm, Southampton:-  

20th August 7pm, Exeter
21st August 7pm, Bristol
22nd August 7pm, Coventry Rugby
24th August 4pm,  Manchester

25th August 5pm, West Yorkshire
27th August 7pm, Newcastle upon Tyne

30th August 7pm, Oxford

31st August 4pm, London .

There are obviously going to be protests at all his proposed meetings.

Anybody who hears anything please contact UAF.

It is worth reminding ourselves of the Judges summing up when Irving tried to sue the distinguished Holocaust Historian and academic Deborah Libstadt for libel, and lost dramatically. 

"Irving has for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence; that for the same reasons he has portrayed Hitler in an unwarrantedly favourable light, principally in relation to his attitude towards and responsibility for the treatment of the Jews; that he is an active Holocaust denier; that he is anti-Semitic and racist, and that he associates with right-wing extremists who promote neo-Nazism.... therefore the defence of justification succeeds. ... It follows that there must be judgment for the Defendants."

Irving is a Nazi and a Nazi apologist and a Holocaust denier.

Wherever he shows his face he must be run out of town.

Portsmouth EDL declares war on School Kids. Another EDL Demo looms.



In recent days there has emerged an online campaign to petition against the possibility of a  Muslim school opening on Lake road sometime in the future. A cursory glance at the signatories  shows this is clearly being supported by Portsmouth EDL. It also references Lee Rigby, so it raises questions about the politics of the petitions author.They are busily telling people that this is all happening behind closed doors at Portsmouth City Council, however the main decision over the school will be made in London. It is not applying for status as a Local Education Authority School and therefore the councils input will be over practical considerations like traffic etc rather than approving it as an education establishment.This process will take a long time and will be decided by The Dept for Education and inevitably by Michael Gove.

The reality is that this will be a private School and will be either an Academy School or a "Free" school.There are many who don't approve of Academies or private schools, but that is not the issue here.
There are many who don't approve of religious education and there are legitimate campaigns to oppose it.Richard Dawkins and others campaign against all religious schools.
However this is not a campaign against religious schools ,but against a Muslim school.The comments on the petition make that horribly clear.

This is a part of an ongoing campaign targeting Muslim Schoolkids.There has been the stock letter that has been circulated on EDL sites to send to schools to isolate Muslim children from others.

They also tried to make an issue out of the recent  Daily Mail story of children believing they were not allowed to drink water during Ramadan. This story has been dealt with here.
There is a long tradition on the far right for targeting children of a different culture in schools. The National Front did it in the seventies and the BNP were leafleting schools in North Portsmouth 3 years ago.

Whether the school is granted permission or not its application will be processed exactly the same way as any other faith or secular  school..

They are now declaring that they think such a school would be divisive .

Fostering divisions is what the EDL are all about.




A short video of the EDL last week in Birmingham chanting " Allah, Allah, who the F**k is Allah?" and "Allah is a Paedo."

Not exactly the bastions of multicultural  integration are they?

There have already been threats to hurl a pigs head onto the proposed school site and the police have had to go down there to attend incidents. 

I haven't seen them campaigning against C of E schools, have you ?

The reality is that Portsmouth is not just a multicultural City, but a successful multicultural City. There are racism problems in Portsmouth but they are less worrying than in many other Cities of the same size.
Religious schools may be regarded as divisive, but so long as we have them, parents have the right to have them for their own faith needs and those of their children.If they are there for Christians they have to be there for Muslims.

Note to the EDL : referring to Islam as foreign and Christianity as British is a little stupid. Jesus Christ and his disciples did not emanate from the Home Counties.

After all they are both Middle Eastern Religions.

Sadly the campaign by the EDL is not just a petition campaign.

There have been demonstrations held bt the EDL in other towns frequently over planning issues.Usually over Mosque or school extensions. Although the permission for this school has practically nothing to do with PCC this will not stop them.

They have so far not informed the police or the council that they intend to hold a protest down here.
However,it has come to our attention that Sussex EDL have posted remarks that there is to be an EDL protest down here soon, over the proposed plan for a Muslim Girls school.Apparently there has also been a posting on a South London EDL post.Those are the ones we know about.

Having accepted they have virtually no support down here they are arranging to have support parachuted in.
There is therefore the prospect of unruly scenes occurring ,similar to the disgraceful scenes that occurred outside the Jami Mosque some time ago .

In the event of  a protest Portsmouth UAF will mobilise to oppose them.

This is possibly going to be in the next 3-4 weeks.
However,the last time was a flash mob protest and we had very little time to organise.

We may have to contact people at very short notice.

Please get this out there.

We therefore appeal to people to contact Portsmouth UAF if you wish to turn out to oppose the EDLs bigotry.

It is important that the EDLs hate is opposed by the local community.

EDL: Declaring war on Muslim children.



Stock Letter EDL are asking people to send into Schools,as part of the campaign to isolate Muslim children.

We have forwarded this to the local NASUWT rep who is circulating it about the relevant authorities.




"A Letter to the school to exclude your child from learning or visiting Mosques/islamic studies...............................................................
To the Headteacher of .........................................................................

We are sending this letter to you as we wish for our child, ........................... of Class ........................ to no longer be taught anything in relation to the Islam religion. We have many reasons for this, which we will list below including viable alternatives we are happy for them to be taught.

The main reason for our decision is we are a family of pragmatic agnostics, or the view that there is no proof of either the existence or nonexistence of any deity, but since any deity that may exist appears unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely pointless. The teaching of any religion is in direct conflict with our views, however as we live in a Christian country we do lean more towards theism than atheism and participate in religious events such as Christmas and Easter, and as Christianity is strongly linked to the culture of Britain we as proud nationals do not object to our child being taught the importance of these. It is for these same reasons we are not happy with our child being taught "one other world faith", however we have been happy to accept the benefits to our child in terms of developing understanding, tolerance and morality.

We are of the opinion that the Islam religion does not teach understanding, does not teach tolerance and does not teach morality and therefore is not something we want our child to be studying, in any capacity. Islam does not teach understanding when the Quran has at least 3 dozen verses telling Muslims to fight against non-Muslims and about 500 that speak of their place in Hell. An example of this would be Quran (22:19-21) - "But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down on their heads; Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron" or even Quran (4:56) - "Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment Lo! Allah is ever Mighty, Wise". This isnt teaching understanding. I could also quote passages from within the Quran that actually encourage spousal abuse, or to kill homosexuals, needless to say they are not very tolerant and in some cases highly offensive.

There are roughly 19 major world religions which are subdivided into a total of around 270 large religious groups and none of those concern us as parents more than Islam, especially when its verses are apparantly so open to interpretation that British Forces personnel get beheaded on the streets of Britain in the name of this religion. It is our opinion that our values, culture and heritage are being slowly eroded by needlessly going over the top to accomodate Islam for fear of being called racist should you dare question it, and we now intend to stop it at source at least where our family is concerned. Needless to say some uneducated people will view our opinions and beliefs as racist, maybe our children could be taught the difference between an ideology and a race, as speaking against it is not racist in the same way speaking against Scientology is not racist. In summary, we would rather our child be taught any of these other world religions over Islam, and these are our instructions to you.

The National Curriculum clearly states Religious Studies is not compulsory to be taken by a pupil, it is only compulsory for yourselves (as a school) to provide Religious Studies. The decision on whether a child participates in these lessons is down to the parents. This is because you cannot force someone to study a faith they do not believe in or that may contradict with their own faith, and as Islam does both of these we are no longer willing to accept it being taught to our child.

So to offer final clarity on this point we do not object, despite our views and beliefs as pragmatic agnostics, to our child being taught any religion except Islam, should Islam be the subject of the lesson we would like for them to be removed from the class and to take no part."

English Defence League Riot with Police in Birmingham.






Graphic taken from an EDL site.


This, broadly speaking is how the EDL  sees it's relationship with the Police, at least, when it doesn't get it's own way.The turnout on Saturday by the Racist EDL gives some cause for concern.The EDL in recent weeks has seen a renaissance in it's popularity since the brutal murder of Lee Rigby.
After the EDL was condemned by the Rigby Family, his Regiment  and Help for Heroes there has been a waning in their support.However, in Birmingham they managed to mobilise significant numbers and most put their figure at about 850, it was certainly in the high hundreds.

On Saturday there were isolated scuffles when Anti-Fascists tried to breach police lines,however the main trouble was when the EDL went on the rampage yet again.

They were ostensibly not  given permission for a march.However the police facilitating a pub for them to drink in and then escorting them to the assembly point appeared to be a march in all but name.The Bar Risa, like all the other drinking establishments in the city centre had originally refused to be the EDL's watering hole for the day , however they conceded to do it after the Police requested them to do so.

The proceeds are going to be given to charity.



EDL chanting obscenities.

The EDL were marched down to Centenary square .I t was here that the trouble started. They broke through police lines and smashed up a bus shelter. According to The Sun they pulled a skull cap off a Muslim mans head  urinated on it and then set fire to it.Passers by were abused and assaulted.When police contained the situation they reverted to assaulting the police.

Below scenes of a man getting involved in a confrontation with the police with his son in tow :



A picture below of his clearly distressed son.

What kind of an idiot behaves like that when in charge of a child?Who would take a young child on a demo that could be potentially violent?

Needless to say the EDL were not unopposed.The UAF managed to get around 500 on the streets,and had a vibrant demo Many attended the Unity event in Chamberlain Square.However, they were outnumbered.. There seems to be a pattern with the EDL almost reaching extinction and then bouncing back.They are nowhere close to mobilising people in their thousands like they did three years ago.
However, they have undeniably made a bit of a comeback.
They intend to protest in Tower Hamlets on September 7th.It will probably be a static protest as Teresa May, the Home Secretary will probably ban a march. This is irrelevant, they will be there ,or at least they will attempt to be there.
It is therefore essential we have the largest possible mobilisation to keep them out of Tower Hamlets.
