We outnumbered them again...they had 15-20 we had a fuck of a lot more than that. Nice strong presence from the Anarchists as well I must say. I was interviewed after for some youtube mini-doc on the day but only as a soundbite.

The police got a bit nasty with us when we linked arms after I mooned the ADL and told them to kiss the fattest part of my arse...we ended up surrounding the police and the ADL and essentially kettled them then forced/pushed the lot of them out of Federation Square to the chants of "fuck off nazi scum!", "on yer bike" and "na na na na, na na na naaahh h-e-e-e-e-y goodbye!" I got whacked in the gut by a cop when I refused to move back and for holding his wrist so he couldn't push us....needless to say, one officer temporarily was relieve of his hat by somebody in the crowd.

We tore up the ADL banners, drowned them out with speeches and hurling abuse...etc

A fun day had by all.

@ndy's brief report gives a pretty good overview:

Australian Defence League Anti-Muslim Rally : Interrupted

Well, that was the rally that was.

Or wasn’t.

In brief, on Sunday approximately 20 or 30 members and supporters of the ‘Australian Defence League’ (ADL) gathered at midday at Federation Square. Gathering in opposition were perhaps 1 or 200 or so anti-racists. For about an hour the anti-racists–gathered under the umbrella of ‘The Rally Against Racism and Fascism’–listened to a number of speeches, a man singing about how we are all brothers, and the screams and shouts of the ADL.

Vision of both sides can be found elsewhere on the web, but the featured speaker for the ADL was not, surprisingly, the Londoner Martin Brennan (parachuted in, with EDL leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon‘s blessing, to take charge of the incompetent Australians) but some other bloke. I dunno what he was on about–quite a lot judging by the array of placards he’d placed in front of his impromptu platform.

Anyway, after an hour so, it was decided that it was probably time for the Englishman to lead the defensive Australians in a retreat from the Square. And so, after some five or so minutes of pushing, the ADL was evicted.

And that was pretty much it.

Not an auspicious beginning to Martin’s plan to whip the convicts into shape, but certainly an improvement upon the (other) ADL’s attempt to stand about the steps of Flinders Street Station in April last year. Nobody was arrested and nobody was injured (that I know of) although one older woman–I think there to protest the ADL–was jostled and quite upset when she was finally able to make her way out from the brief melee. Presumably, if he doesn’t piss off back to London, Martin will rally his followers again at some point, and the cycle will be repeated.

Props to all those who took a public stand against the ADL’s bigotry, ignorance and rampant paranoia; the Herald Sun has a report–Protesters clash at anti-Muslim rally in Melbourne, John Masanauskas, May 16, 2011–and presumably there’ll be others in the days ahead.

Some of the choicest cuts are:

The standard leftist tactic is to try to intimidate their opposition which they tried in Melbourne. Of course members of the Counterjihad held their ground and made their point despite their intimidation.

i'm unsure how a quick eviction counts as 'holding ones ground'... lulz

Nobody ↑ :

The demo in Melbourne was small but successful, key strategic objectives were met, and the basis of the Australian network was put in place. The Australian Defence League has started the ball rolling in Australia and it will grow both in terms of membership and success just like its counterparts which started small in Europe and North America

obviously reality in no way impedes the movement, although the comments (probably trolls but...) connected to the Herald Sun story are pretty fucked, hardly suprising given the latent racism of mainstream discourse bellowing out from the media and politicians at present.

BTW, Nazis are sexy:

One of the above photos features the wannabe lil' Hitler of the 'real' ADL (there have been a number of splits, but this group is the only one to have so far had a visible street presence - albeit a laughable one), Martin Brennan.

Here's a close up:

say hello if you see him round town...

The really fat fuck pictured above can haz facebook, say hi at:

he appears to have difficulty counting, on top of his problems with literacy:

(in reality it was about 25 nutzis to 150-200 counter demonstrators, not the 100 to 1000 claimed above)

more sexy pics of Paul and details of 'confirmed attendees' (facebook styles) available via the anti-bogan wordpress

here's a teaser to get the juices going:
