    Trouble at the Manor: Clapton Ultras

    I wouldn't bother paying the tiniest bit of attention to anything posted by a Hedley thug or supporter like Colligan.

    But when things are fucked up, all kinds of individual stupid things happen, and often not for great reasons.

    I've no particular idea why people were there with Hedley, or why he was there, in particular.

      Hedley's got form for bullying groups that try to ask him to stay away; Focus E15 Mums put out a statement asking him not to come back and expressing solidarity with Caroline Legnehan after he tried to involve himself with them. They later retracted it, allegedly after pressure from Hedley.

      Clapton have made it clear to Hedley that he's not wanted and that's exactly why he came back.

        Reading that Indymedia article,I noticed deleted comments are displayed on the mobile site. They're far more illuminating than the text.

          Hedley stood for The TUSC in the locals last year. He got the support of the Socialist Party for his attempt at GS of the RMT after Crow. I'm not aware of his moving on to any other sect.

            Gives him more time to devote to infiltrating the support of Barking or Stansted Mountfitchet or whoever, I guess.

              Bill the Clapton fan has also stated that he and the RMT plan to "adopt" a rival club, and return to Clapton in the future.
              This is potentially very serious. If Hedley and his followers do adopt a team in the Essex Senior League, it is likely other groups will start following sides as well, including people from the far right. Trouble ahead.

                The far-right aren't strong enough to do anything like that as an organised group. It's too visible - you're committing to be in a certain specific place, at a certain specific time, often exposed places where you could easily be cornered.

                It would be two games max before they got turned over.

                The tankies might have better luck - they'd certainly run into less organised and direct opposition - but I'm not sure they're really that interested in non-league football.

                      There's a discussion on this over at Urban 75:
                      http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/clapton-fc-steve-hedley-celtic-bhoys-vs-locals-e15-supporters-etc.333607/

                      Suffice to say, not all views are in agreement. Interesting account from someone who was with the Celtic anti-fascists who were confronted by Clapton's

                      All a bit embarrassing tbh

                          So many self-styled anti-fascists on there being absolute scum. The left gets more fucked every day.

                          Kinda weird reading one's own WSC post quoted on there.

                            Does anyone actually think that releasing smoke bombs at shitty non-league grounds provides any kind of political relevance? What a bunch of autistic children.

                              That's a really weird insult. Shit and offensive, but still weird.

                                  Right so the world has moved on from offensive terms like 'mong' to 'autistic' to describe usual and 'bad' behaviour.

                                  Fucking wanker.

                                    No, 'the world', if by that you mean me, uses 'autistic' as a metaphor for people who get lost in their own wee world of childish pre-political games under the delusion that their farting about with smoke bombs has some sort of politcal relevance, which you could call solid Leninist doctrine. I could have use 'myopic' instead, but you might find that offensive against short-sighted people.

                                    Don't insult anyone who can't punch you - it makes you come across as a coward.

                                    And now that you've done your bit to defend the disabled against an imaginary enemy you can pat yourself on the back, have a wee wank and help yourself to some obscure continental cheese.

                                          Didn't the RMT shut down Kings Cross when the EDL went to London, as they refused to let fascists use their service?

                                              Think it's important to distinguish the RMT as a union from certain elements within their leadership.

                                                I had never heard of the Clapton Ultras until seeing this thread, on my local street there are loads of Clapton Ultras stickers on sign posts and lamp posts.

                                                Read through some of the links and it was like wading through shit. Struggled to find the point of what this was all about bar the Steve Hedley being a misogynist bit.
