Antifascist call out in response to National Front Day of Action

"King's Lynn National Front will be holding its second "Day of Action" on Saturday 19th December 2009. If you are from the Norfolk area, please make your best effort to support this activity as the NF continues, at log last, to expand throughout Norfolk."



Militant anti-fascists from across East Anglia responded in less than 48 hours to a call out to welcome the National Front back onto the streets after their self declared new found popularity.

A previous article on the NF website declared

"King's Lynn National Front held its first "Day of Action" on Saturday 21st November 2009. Eight activists all recently recruited members came together in King's Lynn centre and distributed over 1000 leaflets in around an hour. Thanks to a Press Release from the National Press Officer, the police were in attendance to stop any possible clash between the NF and the UAF, but despite threats, the UAF rabble never materialised.

Led by Gary and Sean, the NF received a very positive reception from the people of King's Lynn who were happily surprised to see the NF back on the streets of their town again.

This activity reflects a growing of the strength of the NF in Norfolk - moribund for too long - with a new unit forming in Norwich as well. More and intensive activity is planned in the coming months throughout Norfolk."

Today, militant anti-fascists combed the streets of Kings Lynn looking for these 'new recruits' but found no evidence of a growing strength of anything other than National Front bullshit.

We can't be too hard on them however, Nazis never did get along too well in the snow so we aren't too suprised in their lack of attendance.

Well done to all who came out at such short notice. See you all again for Norfolk NF's next big 'Day Of Action' or wherever else in the region NF fantasies will take them.

East Anglian Anti-Fascists.

And another write up:
NF no show in Lynn (http://norfolk.unitywebring.com/?p=1140)

A planned National Front “Day of Action” in King’s Lynn on Saturday December 19th turned into another “Day of Invisibilty”. Five antifascists scoured a bitterly cold snow-swept Lynn town centre continuously between 10am and 2.30pm, keeping in touch by mobile phone. Not a fascist was there to be seen.
Independently of ourselves other antifascists (http://www.antifa.org.uk/nucleus3.32/nucleus332/index.php?itemid=222) were also out in Lynn looking for the elusive Fronters, only to come up fascistless – putting this National Front “Day of Action” on a par with last month’s, in which the NF (or Eddy Morrison’s faction) claimed eight “newly recruited” members handed out 1000 leaflets in an hour to a citizenry “who were happily surprised to see the NF back on the streets of their town”. A likely story!
Checking with our contacts in West Norfolk, which included a number of people who had been in the town centre over the course of that day, we drew a complete blank. Eight fascists aren’t going to go unnoticed in a place like Lynn, but somehow the eight “new recruits” managed it. November 21st was a wet, windy miserable day in Lynn, and the crowds were thin on the ground. Not the best day on which to hand out “1000 leaflets”.
In his write up of the November 21st fairy tale event, Morrison claimed that the local UAF had threatened to demonstrate after the NF issued a press release. Just two things wrong with that: the local UAF weren’t aware of any NF “Day of Action” and so issued no “threats”. And the local newspapers just couldn’t seem to lay their hands on the NF’s press release.
That’s probably because there was no press release and no “Day of Action”, other than in drunken Eddy’s booze soaked brain.
