EDL splinter groups may target public sector strikers, unions warn

EDL groups are broadening out their attacks to focus on leftwing organisations

Britain's biggest unions are warning of a threat of violence by far-right groups during national strike action this month, amid concern that fascist elements are increasingly intent on targeting striking public sector workers.

Unite, Unison and the TUC said they were taking the prospect of disruption by far-right supporters seriously, and had begun to liaise with police to assess any risk to pickets or those on protest marches. The development follows signs that splinter groups from the English Defence League are broadening their campaign from targeting Muslims to trade unionists and socialist organisations. Members of the EDL have recently been involved in attacks on anti-racist and anti-cuts protesters, as well as attempting to target the Occupy movement which has camped outside St Paul's Cathedral.

The Left, the right,the left,the right.......
both so self righteously love to get into a fight
while the main issues disappear out of sight.

Oh yeah, "postmodern philosophy, process philosophy, emerging technologies, and evolutionary biology" is what wiki says.

I find it annoying to be honest, those^^^ are my main interests, and wikipedia knows it, I didn't know I was posthuman in my philosophy until I read that. I thought I was speshul.

I became an atheist, but that was only part of it. I lost almost every belief I had, and every habit. Had to reboot everything. Religion played a small part. That was one mad year. I even recalibrated my body, I was 18 stone, now I'm 12. Plus many other weird things, which I won't bother with as it will frighten you.

Dunno about that. Personally, I think you need to do a bit more. Some rather fascinating stuff you've written.

We've had no confirmation of any EDL divisions doing anything of the sort. Why on would we attack them, one idiot on facebook doesn't mean anything except to give the police the right to arrest 173 people for no offence at all, funny old world when you can be mass arrested for what some pratt on facebook say's. So be careful what you say on here other wise you might end up in a cell.
