East Belfast Loyalists to Take Part in Neo-Nazi March
Cluan Place loyalists will attend a racist neo-Nazi march in London on October 5 according to extreme English right-wing activists.
Speaking to the South Belfast News, English loyalist Andy Carlisle
confirmed that he was preparing to welcome East Belfast loyalists to
the capital in two weeks time.
The October 5 fascist march is being organised by Hitler worshipping
right-wing group the British Ulster Alliance.
Made up of hardcore members of Combat 18 and the National Front the
BUA has been described as dangerous and evil by anti-Nazi group
Searchlight.
And according to the BUA's official website Cluan Place loyalists
will march to the door of 10 Downing Street with their members in two
weeks time.
The impending fascist Whitehall rally is already starting to concern
locals living in that area of London.
So much so that London Mayor Ken Livingston has urged the
Metropolitan Police to put it under strict surveillance.
"I, like most people, don't agree with anything the BUA endorse,"
said the Westminster veteran.
"This rally could spark trouble and as Mayor of London it concerns
me."
Progressive Unionist Party East Belfast MLA David Ervine said he
would be bitterly disappointed if any Cluan Place resident took part
in the racist rally.
"I'll make enquires about this," he said.
"I certainly wouldn't want any far right group attaching themselves
to the situation in East Belfast."
And East Belfast Ulster Unionist councillor Jim Rodgers was another
who blasted the BUA.
"I didn't know about this march but I am now very worried," said the
former Lord Mayor.
"Hundreds of people from East Belfast died during the war fighting
Nazis and I would call on anyone thinking of marching with the BUA to
remember the old war heroes from around here."
English cops have been warned to expect trouble at next month's BUA
march.
A spokesman for the London Met claimed in an attempt to maximise
trouble, fascists had deliberately organised the rally to fall on the
same day as the first Celtic and Rangers game of the football season.
"These BUA marches always spell trouble," he added.
Sick rantings on the BUA's official website glorify the murders of
Jews, Muslims and the Irish.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4It is important to note that the far right and support for it in N.Ireland. There has been a history of association here
between the far -right and loyalist paramilitary groups such as the UDA/UFF. In the mid-eighties there were around
200 supporters of the National Front in Belfast. In 1983 a National Front parade took place in Belfast City centre
attended by Johnny Adair and Sam Mc Crory (UDA). Both played in a Belfast nazi skinhead band called 'Offensive
Weapon.'
Combat 18 and the LVF, a breakaway group from the UVF, have forged links in recent years and Combat 18 members
have been present each year at Drumcree during the marching crisis. ' Blood and Honour' gigs are usually held around
the same time in Portadown. Billy Wright, the murdered LVF leader, is idolised in a number of C18 websites. A couple of years ago
at the funeral of a leading loyalist, Stephen Mc Keag, a close associate of Johnny Adair, a wreath from C18 was
carried.
Shamrocksniper is right on that.
AFA has been following these connections for a long time. There is some information on our site at this link

(Scroll halfway down the page)
and also a more upated version in our magazine 'No Quarter'.
With Adair being hooshed out of the UDA there could be some interesting developments, seeing which way the fascists jump.
A look at the guestbooks of the LVFs websitew,and Combat 18s will confirm the above.As will the links.

It is odd that the last posting on the ULISnet site guestbook is from early August, just when the bulk of LVF went off and joined Adair's UDA faction. Looks like they haven't updated since then. With the demise of Swinger Fulton a few months back maybe there is a vacancy as LVF leader, so that'd be a job for Johnny Boy.
Could be a lot of fun 'n' games upcoming but the dangerous fact is that each time the loyalists have a feud they end up turning on innocent nationalists afterwards.
