Anti-Fascist Ireland 21st Birthday

[C. Flower]

Looks like a brilliant weekend, full of music and events to celebrate 21 years of Anti-fascist action.

It sounds like a worthy cause, and one I would support, but what activities have this group actually engaged in, particularly in the last, say, 3 or 4 years?

[C. Flower]

I haven't a clue. I hope someone can fill us in.

They certainly know how to put a good weekend together though....

They have been involved in dealing with Racists in the past in Dublin. Certainly DRM have been on the receiving end of them and they have ties to the local community through some local organisations I believe combatting racism in the community. Some interesting talks coming over the weekend. More info about what they do is available on their facebook page and they have a great archive aswell of past issues of their magazine .

Not sure, I like the forward thinking policies of The British peoples Party.

Number 11 on their list of policies is;

The guarantee that Ulster shall remain forever a part of Great Britain

Only 12 words and yet they managed 2 glaring mistakes. Unless of course they plan to physically attach the two, which let's face it, might be slightly more realistic than some of the other plans.

Well and truly back to work:

Never mind the bollocks, here's the facts!



After over four weeks of planning and public advertisement, only two sad losers turned up to the launch of the anti-Immigrant 'Irish National Reconstruction Group' in Roscrea, Tipperary on Saturday evening.



The two were Andrew Walsh (22), a soldier with the Irish Army based in Roscrea, and John Kavanagh (34), a second-rate web designer based in Shanagolden, Limerick; both have been active in extreme racist groups for a number of years. Last Saturday, however, signalled the lowest point in their political lives to date.



After a successful surveillance operation, this Laurel and Hardy duo were enticed from their otherwise empty room, to a nearby town at the thought of meeting a new recruit who managed to get off the bus at the wrong stop. The naivety of the two would be embarrassing if it wasn’t so hilarious. It should be noted that they were overjoyed, to the point of infatuation judging by the amount of texts sent that day, at the thought of having just one more playmate!



Unfortunately for them, they were instead met by a small squad of AFA, a still completely deluded Walsh calling “well lads, what bus did you get down?” as we picked up the pace upon seeing them. Kavanagh was particularly sought out for political 'debate' (at one stage with his own shoe!) after his particularly nasty and vile comments about the recent death of Savita Halappanavar. Walsh also lost what looked like his confirmation jacket in the fray.



Kavanagh and Walsh vacated the area quick smart and made their way back to Roscrea, stopping only to check the damage to their car, which in a second round saw the vehicle lose a wing mirror and receive a few heavy boots to the driver’s door. The pair were last spotted having a very loud and public spat outside the hotel, Walsh looking too afraid to leave the car, Kavanagh shouting back at him to hurry up.



All and all, another sad and demoralising day for the far-right in Ireland. As the situation worsens in countries Greece and Poland, we have to remind ourselves continually that we're so lucky to have such a small, pathetic group of misfits to deal with.

Although their account differs somewhat, it seems AFA attacked Chuck Norris

Antifa attempted an ambush on Irish National leader Andrew Walsh and John Kavanagh of the Nationalist Movement. About seven or eight antifa scumbags came out of the woodwork like termites. Andrew Walsh is one hard man, he fended them off as did I. A few punches I had one of them covered in blood, almost got hit with a bottle in the head but the deflected it followed by a devastating punch in to the scumbag's face. The fight continued, I was too busy fending off multiple targets to see what Andrew was doing. Upon fighting two guys at the same time, one came up behind me and hit me with a bottle off my head (I assume it was a bottle). I hope that was one of the guys that ended up covered in blood.

The fight went on for about 2 minutes, it always feels longer because of being 'in the zone'. They started running, to be honest I was breathless to give chance after beating a number of them. Andrew and I got in to the car to give chase but many of them ran to areas that the car wouldn't reach. One managed to kick the car before running. Any suggestions that I hit them with the car or side swiped them is false. I just want to get that bit clear.

We circled the town for a while looking for them but couldn't find any, they were gone.

Andrew Walsh of Irish National continued the meeting which was a big success. Andrew only had a small cut on his forehead and my knuckles are killing me, strangely I thought a bottle to the head would be more damaging. I guess I was lucky. I don't like violence but they were so weak and I felt so powerful, I got to say I enjoyed punching their dirty heads off. Even better, one of them that attacked Andrew was a black bastard.

A great night, not only did I met some good nationalists, I saw the putting together of a right wing political party and we get to smash a few heads too. Some of the ********* were covered in blood. ******* cowards ran just as it was about to get good.

More good work by AFA.

Found this on the AFA page. Really impressive anti-fascist motorcycle patrol in Greece.

Interesting that they actually refer to their pamphlets as "propaganda". Lads, you're not doing it right.

Gold!

Note: No bottles were harmed during the making of this fantasy

From my reading of the exchange, he was hit over the head with his own shoe.

there is a thread on the NationalistIreland forum. Twelve posts, three people & six or seven different spellings of nationalist

They are probably blind from cracking one off looking at pictures of the KKK....

On a positive note glad to see the little ******* getting chased out of town, have nothign but contempt for them . They have had so many splits and divisions its amazing they come back together again.

Keep up the good work AFA!

Kavanagh is worthy of everyones contempt after his comments on Savita.

I remember reading how he protested at the British embassy and his posse turned up only for AFA to chase him off...
