English Defence League members at a recent flash demo outside Lime Street stationBy the time anti-fascists arrived at the shop, the fascists had gone. Shop workers reported that some of the first ones to come in had asked odd questions at the counter, including whether they carried information on the BNP, before joining the mob by the doors and shouting “why do you support terrorists.” They accused those in the shop of supporting the Islamist group Hamas and of being “anti-British.”
On their Facebook page, members said that “The Liverpool EDL are to be applauded for their bravery” in “keeping left-wing lies off the streets and out of the hands of our children.” An admin added that “Several of bits of l[i]terature in the shop in question promote communism and are anti-royals. A[s] a[n] Englishman i find this unacceptable.”
A spokesperson for Liverpool Antifascists said, “the English Defence League are only the latest fascist group to try and intimidate workers at News From Nowhere for its links to left-wing and radical politics. In the 1980s, it was on the receiving end of a lot of attacks from the National Front and BNP. More recently, neo-Nazis like the British Freedom Fighters had made regular visits to the shop until deterred by anti-fascists.
“The EDL might like to boast of how brave they were, but they are following in the footsteps of people like Liam Pinkham – the Nazi hooligan who was arrested for threatening to burn the shop down. They are cowards and bullies and this is exactly why we stand opposed to them.”

Well done lads, you've shouted at some hippies in a bookshop. Just think, if you get away with this maybe you could ring Tony Benn's doorbell and run away!
Makes our little job of exposing these pondlife as FASCISTS and AGAINST FREE SPEECH that little bit easier, doesn't it. A literature co-operative of pacifists and hippies versus a gang of drunken hate-filled yobbos. I know what I'd prefer
Fascist scumbags think they are hard! Pinkham was one of their kind, and when he gets out of jail, he will rejoin their ranks!
That'll be the first time those brainless drones have ever been in a bookshop then.
Bookshops alien territory to these imbeciles. Pop up books with pictures you'll find in the local library's children's section.
Nazis have been attacking News From Nowhere for years - coincidence?
That'll be the first time those brainless drones have ever been in a bookshop then.
Unless its to buy wank mags of course

Pnkham has come out as homosexual and now fights for gay right all across the country with Peter Tatchell.
