  • NAZI PROTEST LONDON GOES AHEAD 4TH JULY 2015 PICTURES

    A rally passed off without incident today as around 20 Neo-Nazi supporters took to the streets of central London for a rally against the so-called “Jewification” of the UK. The rally had been planned to take place in Golders Green ,where around 40% of the residents are Jewish, but was banned by the police on public order grounds. The group staged their rally at the end of Downing Street but were largely outnumbered by Police and anti facists. The Neo Nazis had a Confederate flag and a Palestinian one, and there were also a few speeches by The Golden Dawn a Greek Neo Nazi organisation as well as speeches from the Polish contingent. The speeches were drowned out by around 200 Anti Facists. The protest lasted one hour before they were escorted away. The highlight was when Hipster Cop turned up at the end.

  • Serial Killers Bar To Be Turned Into Trendy Restaurant

    The Black Cap in Camden has been the center of the gay community for 50 years. It closed its doors without warning a few months ago,amid controversy. The pub was the favorite haunt of Dennis Nilsen .Britain's most notorious serial killer and necrophiliac, was responsible for the deaths of at least 12 young men. He used to drink here from 1978 till he was caught in 1983. Where Nilsen once stalked the streets there is something more deadly. The insidious spectre of gentrification. The Breakfast club , a trendy chain is set to take over the venue in the coming months. The local community have protested, and thousands have signed a petition to keep it open. The problem is a wider one though, as London is being gentrified the communities get torn apart, and generic soulless chains replace the local businesses. The Black cap is now the victim.
