[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 141925, member: 35"] [B]Aaron Kiely’s eyewitness report from the Luton anti-EDL protest[/B] By Aaron Kiely, NUS Black Students’ Committee member Over 2,000 people came to Luton on a chilly Saturday in February to celebrate multiculturalism and defend the local community from the racist thugs of the English Defence League. People from diverse backgrounds, united to make a stand against the EDL -a group with links to the fascist British National Party- to say that their brand of racist and Islamophobic politics were not welcomed in the area. The demonstration was supported by a wide range of organisations from Unite Against Fascism, local Trade Unions, the region’s Labour MEP Richard Howitt as well as local faith groups and residents. The situation in Luton looked bleak, it was a ghost-town with people fearful of attacks on shops, homes and Mosques and buildings boarded up. This was justified as proved in Bolton and Luton in 2009 when the EDL ran riot and smashed up Asian businesses and attacked a Sikh Temple thinking it to be a Mosque. However in the great tradition of Cable Street and Lewisham, crowds chanted “¡No Pasarán! They shall not pass!” as Unite Against Fascism members occupied Luton train station and prevented the EDL from passing through unchallenged. This was a symbolic moment as people from all walks of life spoke as one, condemning racism and remembered the dangers of allowing fascism to flourish. The demonstration then proceeded to the square where music was played and speeches were heard. A particularly poignant moment of the demonstration was when, to great applause, a “Sikhs Against The EDL” banner was brought in to the square and a representative made a speech saying that “Sikhs stand in solidarity with Muslims against the threat of the EDL”. That is what a multicultural and tolerant society looks like and it is a Britain that we can be proud of. Students from all over came to the demonstration, and members of the NUS Liberation Campaigns were proudly amongst the demonstrators, representing their students who are under threat from the far-right. It is vitally important that the student movement continues to play an active role within Unite Against Fascism, encouraging and mobilising students to make sure there is vibrant opposition to the BNP and the EDL wherever they go. The EDL have suffered a setback as they failed to secure the 10,000 they were saying they would get, however the fight continues until the day that the racist group is disbanded. When anti-fascists shout “Auschwitz! Never again!” – we mean it. It is our view that the EDL should not be allowed to run riot in towns and cities across Britain. Their violent and intimidating ‘protests’ should be banned, including the EDL’s next demo in Birmingham on 19th March. If their anti-Muslim protest does go ahead, however, Student Broad Left will be there on the pro-multicultural counter-demonstration and I’d encourage all students to join us.
