SDL At The Edinburgh Festival!!!

          A reminder that on Saturday 17 August there will be a rally and protest in Edinburgh, against the SDL and their attempt to bring their stench of fascism and racism to the streets of the City.

     Sat 17 Aug - Racists in Edinburgh - Let’s make a song and a dance about it

 

 

 

           The racist Scottish Defence League (SDL) have been given permission to march through Edinburgh from Waverley Court to Parliament with a Police escort, in the middle of the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe.  

        Edinburgh UAF are not going to allow this hate peddling group to spread their obnoxious message in our city and create discord where we work so hard for unity and harmony.
       Please make time to join the protest against the SDL on this Saturday:
12pm Assemble at Chambers St to help leaflet and get more people to join the protest.

1pm Speeches.

1:30 March to Parliament via South Bridge, High St and Canongate.

Stay at Parliament until SDL are escorted away by Police.

     It is up to us all to show to the citizens of Edinburgh and the thousands of tourists, that the majority reject the SDL’s hate fuelled ideas. So let’s make a song and a dance about it!
    Celebrate our multi-cultural city and our cultural festival. Our protest will have performers from the fringe, an all-female drum band, musicians, indeed everyone who wants to make a stand.

Asset Stripping On a Grand Scale.

       The fascist Troika, that governs Europe has dealt another blow to the income of the Greek people. Opap, the Greek government owned gambling giant, which last year made €505 million for the Greek public purse, I presume, welcome money to a state groveling for money, has been sold, on the instructions of that fascist Troika. A 33% slice of it was sold for something over €622 million, the exact figure is still “secret”, a price not much more than one year's profits. The fascist Troika has instructed the Greek government to sell of €9.5 billion of Greek assets, the Greek people's assets, by 2016. Anything that could make money for the Greek people has to be sold to the corporate world so that they can make that money. A country being punished for its debt, and the remedy is to cut of its sources of income. It is obvious that the fascist Troika's grand plan has nothing to do with debt reduction and more to do with asset stripping. Country after country is being forced to sell of the people's assets and hand the money to the banksters. All this brings the people's standard of living crashing down. What do we the people get in return for all this “austerity”, plundering? Why we get lots of pie-in-the-sky, after ten or more years of wage cuts/freeze. There will be a promised land waiting for you, if you will only accept a decade or two of groveling in the gutter you'll be just fine. Of course the parasites will not be joining you there in the gutter, no they will be laughing at you will the stuff their faces at some fancy banquet. Ah well, that's capitalism for you.
