North West London United against return of fascist group to Cricklewood

Racists and Fascists are once again targeting Brent. The South East Alliance have said they are returning to Cricklewood Broadway on July 19th after the local community mobilised against them a few weeks ago.

The group are pretending that they are protesting about a Muslim Brotherthood office above a shop despite the fact that the police said the occupants have left, and in any case they were not the Muslim Brotherhood itself.

The real reason is that the racists can't stand the fact that not only is Brent multi-cultural but that the community gets on well together most of the time and people are positive about being part of a diverse neighbourhood. They are prepared to stand up and defend their neighbours and their neighbourhood.

The SE Alliance come from outside the area in order to stir up racial and anti-Muslim prejudice. An adhoc group has been formed called North West London United to oppose them on July 19th. NW London United aims to bring all members of the community together to tell the South East Alliance that they are not wanted here.

North West London United has prepared a statement that they ask people and I have been happy to do so:

-->

The South East Alliance (SEA), a group of racist, Islamophobic thugs is threatening to return to Cricklewood on Saturday July 19^th. This group, made up of remnants of the Essex branch of the EDL, includes known fascists and has links to Ulster loyalists. They say they are demonstrating against the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, but since that organisation moved to Austria in April before the SEA came to Cricklewood on 14^th June, they clearly intend simply to bring their message of hatred to disrupt Cricklewood’s vibrant multicultural community.

In Cricklewood, as in the whole of North West London, we are proud of our diversity. Here people live and work together, children study, play and grow up together in mutual respect, regardless of faith or skin colour, language or place of birth. We will not tolerate attempts to divide us or stir up hatred. We stood united on June 14^th to show the SEA that there is no place here for their racism and Islamophobia. We ask you to join us on 19^th July to do the same again.

Anti-Fascist Demonstration Saturday Cricklewood 11am

Historical precedent

Message from Brent and Harrow Unite Against Fascism

We have heard that a particularly unsavoury group of fascists known as the South East Alliance plan to invade Cricklewood on Saturday June 14th at 12.00 noon. Their pretext is to call for the banning of the Muslim Brotherhood, but they have a record of wider Islamopohobia, apparentlythey're made up of remnants of the former Essex EDL.

We are therefore calling on all anti-racists in Brent & Harrow - and neighbouring boroughs - to assemble at 11.00 am outside 113 Cricklewood Broadway NW2 6TU in defence of Cricklewood's vibrant multicultural community just as we did when Britain First came to Cricklewood in January. 

Here's their Facebook invitation: LINK

Message from the Metropolitan Police

We have been informed that the South East Alliance plan to demonstrate outside the premises of 113a Cricklewood Broadway, NW2, on Saturday 14th June.  We anticipate this will start from 11am.  They are demanding the British Government ban the Muslim Brotherhood and associated organisations.

The company that occupies 113a Cricklewood Broadway states they are not part of the Muslim Brotherhood. (My emphasis MF)

We are aware that there will be a counter demonstration by groups associated with the anti-fascist movement.

There is an appropriate policing plan in place to deal with this demonstration.

Green Party Backs November 6th Anti-Fascist Demonstratiuon

The Green Party has given its official backing for the national demonstration against racism, fascism and Islamophobia on Saturday 6 November.

The party has added its name to the statement backing the demo, which is called by UAF and backed by the TUC, the Muslim Council of Britain and a range of trade union leaders, faith and community groups.
The march assembles on Saturday 6 November at 12 noon, Malet Street, London WC1. It aims to bring together the widest possible alliance of people opposed to racism, fascism and Islamophobia – and show that the vast majority of people are opposed to the racism of the English Defemce League and the fascists of the British National Party.

Caroline Lucas MP said:

"Racism, fascism, Islamophobia and antisemitism have no place in a civilised society and must be firmly resisted. That’s why the Green Party is supporting this demonstration."

Caroline has also added her own name to the list of those supporting the demo and Jean Lambert, one of the party’s MEPs, has agreed to speak at the central London demonstration.
