Tomorrow Dublin sees yet another far right organized anti mask rally. In this case though it’s just the openly fascist National Party membership turning up. Their saying & doing the quiet part out loud has lead to the rest of the far scrambling to put distance from them
Herman Kelly’s UKIP Ireland franchise publicly distanced themselves earlier using as an excuse the incident where a mob of 15 men armed with chunks of wood attacked a small group of 3-4 women observing the last rally. But this is just one attack amongst many /2
The IFP has nothing to say about this fascist mob attack on counter protesters at the rally prior to this one - there has been a repeated cycle of such fascist violence /3 https://twitter.com/wsmireland/status/1300720206982062082
FCAR have done a great thread on what the reality of the National Parties politics would mean - they openly demand a return to this past of clerical & state abuse https://twitter.com/fingaltogether/status/1314544316094861312
The fascist mob attack videos about involved men from the spectrum of far right groups, the identities of many of these have been known for months as they have been engaged in attacks on a number of occasions https://twitter.com/antifa_drone/status/1314708657762897920?s=21 https://twitter.com/antifa_drone/status/1314708657762897920
Examiner carries an article which while useful is basically an anonymous Garda source offering up a long list of excuses as to why the fascist mob have got away with multiple attacks in the past despite their identities being known https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40062431.html
We’d recommend looking at the videos of the fascist attacks in the context of those Garda excuses offered above, in particular this footage from September 12th https://twitter.com/wsmireland/status/1304825928753782785
It’s worth recording the far right infighting that went on overnight in response to Kelly’s tweet as they say a lot of ‘quiet stuff out loud’ here that confirms the level of cooperation between these rival parties previously in organizing front protests on various issues
And that they worked together despite the fact that the IFP being a front for the English empire colonialists around Farage was widely known. Dowson even gets a mention in the previous set
This is significant because as we show in this thread from last year the far right groups they work with in Britain have and continue to target the Irish community there - many older Irish republicans who worked in Britain will have fought to defend protests from them https://twitter.com/wsmireland/status/1203238323894001664
