    Default Anti-fascists paintbomb fascist pub in Brighton.

    “Report of paintbomb attack on the Railway Bell, Brighton. Fascist hangout…

    If you like your beer with a hint of racism you can probably do no better than the Railway Bell…

    On March 24th the March for England, a flag waving front for fascist scum, the ENA (English Nationalist Alliance) and EDL (English Defence League), held a march in Brighton

    March for England was attended by several divisions of the English Defence League

    Their meeting point was the Railway Bell, opposite Brighton Station. The pub opened early to accommodate the fash and served as a reassembly point for marchers after their parade through town.

    The Railway Bell has been a popular venue for fascists during previous Brighton marches.

    The MfE, ENA and EDL are not welcome and will be resisted

    In the early hours of this morning antifascists hurled paintbombs at the Railway Bell before disappearing into the night.”
    Well done to the participants, fascism shouldn't be tolerated.

    Fuck the islamophobes but I wouldn't show support for defacing someone who probs doesn't even support the EDL's property, or am I wrong?

    thing is that they do, they specifically said that they don't mind EDL drinking in their pub and allowed them to put their flags up before the demo.. so they can fuck off!

    Have these antifascists been raising awareness about this pub and its support of the EDL/ENA as well as paintbombing it? To someone who doesn't know much about the situation, this could just seem like a random act of vandalism.
    "Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."

    I think its fairly obvious that if the EDL are in a pub and some people paintbomb it its probably not a random act of vandalism.

    depends by what you mean by raising awareness? there had been some posters around that i have seen etc. but no proper action highlighting the role of that pub in fascist mobilisation. Saying that it is only what I know and not being directly involved I might have missed some stuff.

    Wow what a great victory over Fascism, a bit of paint was thrown over a pub where the EDL sometimes have a pint. Come on, seriously?

    Antifa has been sprayed on the walls on the march before last, and If I remember likely, under antifa it said stop the fascist sympathisers.

    Bronco, is anybody claiming that this is a great victory over fascism? Don't you have better things to do than talk shit on forums? You are more than welcome to do something better, I for one congratulate however did it.

    No, not a great victory, but it'll no doubt piss them off. Fair play to the antifas!

    It's a statement, and sign of opposition. Not like anywhere else has taken up much action lately. It'll also be a form of economic disruption. They'll need to clean it off, which will require them using staff away from the bar, or hired cleaners to clean it. May be small, but it sends a big message.

    This is ironic.

    This isn't how we beat fascism though, is it? In fact such action didn't really acheive anything.

    This is also pretty spurious.

    Sam b- I was half-expecting you to re-appear somewhere here . Any example of your successful combating of fascism recently perhaps?
    Don't you have like some papers to sell or something?

    Of course, everybody knows that we beat fascism by selling loads of papers, making arrangements with the police and shouting "narzis" at the edl from behind the safety of the police cordon, following glorious UAF leadership

    I don't particularly support everything that the UAF does, nor am I a member of UAF. Try again champ.
