Mass brawl between right-wing group and anti-fascists as race riots spill onto streets of Birmingham
DAILY MAIL REPORTER 09th August 2009
Police arrested 33 people during a clash between anti-fascists and a right-wing group as the centre of Birmingham turned into a war zone yesterday.
Terrified shoppers cowered in fear as a group came into violent contact with Unite Against Fascism marchers in a violent brawl that dominated the streets.
The so-called English and Welsh Defence League and Casuals United formed after British soldiers were abused by Islamic radicals at a homecoming parade in Luton earlier this year. But Unite Against Fascism claim that the Casuals are made up of members of far-right groups and had planned to cause racial unrest in the city.

Scores of officers were involved in policing the rival protests, which had gathered near Birmingham's Bullring shopping complex around 7pm. Gary Nichols watched the disturbances from his city centre flat and said he was unable to go outside for about two and a half hours.
He told the BBC: 'It started off with a group of white guys who were chanting, 'England, England'. I thought they were just football fans, but then a larger group of black and Asian people turned up and it all kicked off.

So the right wingers were fighting with themselves?
LOL
Birmingham.... England. Oh.
ANTI-FASCISTS = MUSLIMS.

Coming soon to an Old Glory waiver near you.
Lets see, the Fascists were left wingers, The other brawlers were right wingers who would necessarily be anti-fascists. Else it wouldn’t make any sense at all, now would it.
Sometimes the left wingers in the newspeak media get their mords wixed up, on purpose it would seem.
Necessary that this happens. Sad but necessary. The big words are becoming applicable once again i.e. destiny. Spengler said the Western restoration would start in England.
Islamists ARE the fascists
Agreed. The UK brought this on themselves just as we are headed down the same road.
Fixed it!
That was my reaction. Whom was fighting whom and why?

A man "appears" to be attacked by peaceful Muslims
Took a moment to realize this was not Birmingham Alabama. It's different in England. In the US, the anti-fascists are the right-wing groups.
Dovetails as to what Glenn Beck said this week, i.e. Europe is ahead of us. I pray that we do not go down this road.....
Storms are violent, yet they clear the air. We could use a good storm...
A couple of Presidents (D) made a lot of promises that they couldn't possibly deliver on. I'm somewhat surprised that urban rioting hasn't started in the US again.
At least now I know there is a newspaper somewhere, far, far away, that is even more biased than the L.A. Times.
Can someone interprupt British for us????
Leave it to leftists and muslims to make that recommendation: Your right to free speech will henceforth be limited to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. That is how it begins.
