Join Unite Against Fascism in the EDL 'protest' in Middlesbrough

I would advise anyone who wants to oppose the EDL protest tomorrow (9th July) to join Unite Against Fascism in their counter-protest. They will be meeting up at 11am at the cenotaph near the entrance of Albert Park. They will then walk to Centre Square, where I believe the actual protest is taking place. Police are containing all protestors.

Basically EDL are protesting against the proposed expansion of Abu Bakr mosque on Park Road North. The expansion plans are actually still in the very early stages, and we still don't have enough money to get the project going. I don't actually understand why the EDL are even bothering with a protest. My guess is they have probably wanted to cause a race riot in Middlesbrough for some time, and this is their excuse to finally do it. Police will be posted in front of all mosques in Middlesbrough, so even if some of the neanderthals decide to break away, they will encounter resistance.

Go Unite Against Fascism!

Wimbledon 2011 Winners!

 First it's the ladies winner, Petra Kvitova, who beat Maria Sharapova in straight sets 6-3, 6-4.

 And then there was the men's final, where Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal three sets to one 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3.

 Goodbye Wimbledon for this year, and next year awaits!

Wimbledon 2011-finals are almost here!

So it's been a fast two weeks for those engrossed in Wimbledon, well for me anyway! I feel it has has passed so quickly, and here we are, down to the last two women, and the last two men.

The women's final will be held on Saturday July 2nd and the match will be Maria Sharapova v Petra Kvitova. I am rooting for Kvitova, but I think Sharapova could win her second Wimbledon, it's been way too long for her. Good luck to both ladies!

 And then on Sunday 3rd July, we have the men's final, which will be Rafael Nadal v Novak Djokovic. I think I would like Djokovic to win, but they're both amazing players, so it won't matter too much who wins!

 Whatever happens, I will post the results up here. Good luck everyone!
