In finding itself banned, UAF has fallen victim to its own brand of boneheaded illiberalism

Just how dumb is Unite Against Fascism? Having lobbied the government many times in recent months to ban marches by the English Defence League, it is now outraged that the Government has not only taken up this offer to squish the EDL but has pushed it further, by banning all public protests in five London boroughs for the next 30 days.

Now, UAF has issued what must rank as one of the silliest political statements of the year so far. “We the undersigned welcome the banning of the racist English Defence League’s march through Tower Hamlets,” it says. “But we are appalled to discover that the Metropolitan Police are applying for a blanket ban on ALL marches across five London boroughs… It is our human right to peacefully march in Tower Hamlets.”

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Socialist Workers Party is the parent group to the Unite against Fascism. You can see the red flags this is a Socialist workers party protest in January of this year.
They sound like they are right out of the National Socialist parties rallies of the 20’s and 30’s.

The left showing their true racist hatred:

One other thing: it is a Saul Alinsky tactic to accuse others for your own weakness. The whole United against fascism is taken right out of Rules for Radicals.
