I happen to know that other hacktivists are offended by this guy, and have been going after him for working against for the threat to freedom of speech posed by Islamic and their apologists. In any case, how dare you appropriate that quote in your Sig like that? Do you seriously think George Orwell would have supported suppression of the truth and the Islamists murderous attitude to anyone who dares to criticise Islam? He would have been on the side of liberty against Islamofascism.How dare you approprikte him as a hero. He would have been disgusted with you.

Eric Blair literally fought fascists such as you and your EDL in Spain. You don't know what you are talking about.

The rest of the UAF Wikipedia article that Dharma conveniently left out:

In November 2007, UAF organised a rally of over 1,000 people when BNP leader Nick Griffin and holocaust denier David Irving spoke at the Oxford Union.[14] On 9 June 2009, UAF demonstrated against a BNP press conference given by Griffin and Andrew Brons outside the Palace of Westminster following their election as MEPs. Demonstrators marched towards the group with placards, chanting anti-Nazi slogans, and threw eggs at Griffin, forcing the abandonment of the press conference. Members of the press were also hit. The protesters also kicked Griffin's car and beat it with placards as he was led away from the scene.[2] Two members of the public were hospitalized as a result of the demonstration.[15] Griffin claimed that the attack was carried out with the backing of the Labour Party.[16][17]

The following day, UAF demonstrated at the BNP's next attempt to hold a press conference at a pub in Miles Platting, North Manchester.[18] They chanted anti-fascist slogans and tried to drown out Griffin by playing Bob Marley songs at high volume. One protester was arrested after spitting in the direction of a car belonging to a BNP member.[18]

In January 2010, when the Pendle branch of the UAF removed a wreath from the War Memorial in Nelson that was laid down by a British National Party member,[19] Richard MacSween of the Pendle UAF said "The BNP have left a wreath and we have removed it because we don't approve of fascism.". In response, Councillor George Adam, from the Nelson and District branch of the Royal British Legion, said: "I'm annoyed - they have no right to remove that wreath. The BNP is a legitimate political party and they have a right to lay down a wreath just as any other members of the public do." BNP Councillor Brian Parker added: "It's disgusting, and it's theft".[16][17]

Arrests and controversy

UAF demonstration in Leeds, 31 October 2009.
On 19 August 2009, police arrested 19 protesters during a demonstration by UAF against the BNP's Red, White and Blue festival in Codnor, Derbyshire.[20] Four people were charged; three with public order offences and one with unlawfully obstructing the highway.[21][22][23][24]

On 22 October 2009, the UAF demonstration against Nick Griffin's appearance on the BBC's Question Time programme resulted in injuries to three police officers.[25] UAF national officer and (then) SWP National Secretary Martin Smith was found guilty of assaulting one of the police officers at South Western Magistrates' Court, London, on 7 September 2010. He was sentenced to a 12-month community order, with 80 hours' unpaid work, and was fined £450 pending an appeal.[26][third-party source needed]

On 20 March 2010 demonstrations from UAF and the English Defence League (EDL) in Bolton led to violent confrontations and the arrest of at least 55 UAF supporters, including the UAF protest organiser Weyman Bennett, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit violent disorder.[27][28][29] At least three EDL supporters were also arrested, and two UAF members were taken to hospital with a minor head and a minor ear injury.[27][28] After Bennett was charged and released, he accused the police of being hostile to anti-racists and called for an inquiry into the police's actions that day.[30] The police, while criticising the EDL for "vitriolic name-calling" blamed people predominantly associated with UAF for provoking violence and said that they "acted with, at times, extreme violence".[31] All charges against Weyman Bennett were eventually dropped. In response to this news he was quoted as saying: "This is a victory for anti-fascists and for the right to protest. I’m proud to say that the threat of these charges has not deterred any of us from continuing to stand up against the EDL. I can now continue my work without this serious false allegation hanging over me. It is imperative we continue to protest to protect our multi-racial communities."[32]

On 30 August 2010, violence occurred in Brighton, East Sussex, during a UAF protest against a march organised by a group called the English Nationalist Alliance (ENA). A spokesman for the police, who were attempting to keep 250 protesters and marchers apart, said "Unfortunately a small group from the counter-demonstration [UAF] resisted this and threw missiles at the police." There were fourteen arrests during the violence.[33][34]

On 2 June 2013, 58 UAF counter-demonstrators were arrested by police under Section 14 of the Public Order Act[35] for failing to move up the street[36] away from a BNP demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament against what the BNP describe as Islamic "hate preachers". The police had earlier banned the BNP from marching from Woolwich Barracks to the Houses of Parliament, fearing violence.[37][38]

The uaf are often douchebags too, but the only reason for their existence is to oppose the EdL and the bnp.

Claiming that Orwell would support the edl is probably one of the most retarded claims in life.
