Frazer: Abu having a laugh?

By on

We all looked on horrified as this morning's events unfolded. We knew he was going to do it, he told as much beforehand. Yet still, deep down we didn't believe it. It took that first image on Twitter for us actually to believe that yes, Willie Frazer has indeed turned up to a British court of law dressed as Abu Hamza. The horror quickly turned to laughter as the news spread quickly on social media and the bizarre media circus was shared far and wide. The occasion was so bizarre that Willie achieved what we think he had hoped for. The spectacle has gone national, with Channel 4 news running the story. Yet again Northern Ireland has been thrust onto the national stage and yet again we are left looking like the sadly ridiculous drunk relative at a wedding who makes a total arse of themselves.


Now the dust has settled and the laughter has (partially) abated, the initial horror has returned. Just why would Willie Frazer and his cohorts wish to cause such a scene? Willie explained things in his own unique manner outside the court today. "The law that they are trying to charge me with was brought out to deal with extreme Muslims", Willie claimed. "Who do they charge? The first man charged in the United Kingdom is a protestant from Northern Ireland"[1], he boldly asserted. These are very serious and daring claims to make. They are also untrue, and have been fabricated for no other reason than to enable Willie to create a media circus.

 Let's take a look at Willie's claims in a little more depth:
"The law that they are trying to charge me with was brought out to deal with extreme Muslims"

 The Facts:
The offences to which Willie refers are those covered by the Serious Crime Act 2007. Sections 44-46 of this act deal with encouraging or assisting an offence[2]. These sections have slight differences from one another but together they replaced the more commonly known offence of incitement in England, Wales and Northern Ireland[3]. These sections were not introduced specifically to deal with Muslim extremists. The truth is that these offences were already partially covered in some form by prior incitement law.
"The first man charged in the United Kingdom is a protestant from Northern Ireland"

 The Facts:
Willie Frazer is not the first man to be charged under these offences in the United Kingdom. Sections 44-46 of the Serious Crime Act have been applied in a number of different cases. There are too many to fully research and list here, however we have included a few below to highlight the absurdity of Willie's claims.

 Amed Pelle was jailed for 33 months after pleading guilty to a breach of section 44. Pelle had used Facebook to encourage other to commit offences during riots in Nottingham. [4][5][6]

 Jordan Blackshaw and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan were jailed for offences under sections 44 and 46 of the Serious Crime Act at Chester Crown Court. These offences were linked to encouraging offences during rioting. [7]

 Jake Davis from Shetland, and Ryan Cleary from Essex were both charged with offences under sections 45 and 46 of the Serious Crime Act. Their charges were related to computer hacking. [8][9]

Omar Sadique was convicted at Maidstone Crown Court of assisting in the supply of controlled drugs contrary to section 46 of the Serious Crime Act 2007. [10]

David Wain was jailed for offences under sections 44-46 of the Serious Crime Act in relation to the supply of chemicals and drugs. [11]
In Summary

 The cases listed above show that Willie Frazer was lying about his motivation in dressing as a Muslim cleric today. What was his real motivation? If we were to hazard a guess it would be that Willie wanted to create a media frenzy to attract attention and to keep himself where he feels he belongs, in the spotlight. One thing is certain, his actions were decidedly racist and contrary to his vocal demands for civil and human rights. Surely the time has come for this man to fade into obscurity?

Deal or no deal?

By on

With all their antics over the years, it's hard to feel sorry for loyal loyalists. But in this case, LAD does feel a pang of sympathy.

Once again they have been lied to by their so-called leaders. Most jarringly of all, those lies were designed to trick their loyal brethren into breaking the law, in a pathetic attempt to undermine the authority of the Parades Commission (PC). The PC had ruled to allow the loyalist "civil rights" march on Saturday September 21st but, presumably to appease exasperated city centre traders, had ordered the fleggers to begin their journey at 12.30, not 2pm as they had demanded. Cue ridiculous calls of "12.30 is too early" (12th of July Parades normally set off before 9am) and disparate flegger groups saying that they'd protest til 2pm before setting off. 

Rumours began circulating from a few key fleggers of a secret deal between parade organisers and cops who saw the early parade time as "unworkable", and this was quickly followed by a widely-shared Facebook post, apparently originating from Christine Lewis, naming the cops involved and confirming the original start time still stood. 
Then up-stepped the Protestant Coalition, gallant leaders of the disaffected PUL community. Chairman Sam  (So it is) McCrory informed followers on their Facebook page that he had spoken an unnamed source who confirmed the deal with the police. When pushed to identify his source he said it didn't matter. Er, yes it fucking does. Either you're deliberately lying to people or you've struck an illegal deal with Police in direct contravention of a PC ruling. At this, Sam cried havoc and let slip the lapdogs of wah. Funnily enough all these threads have been removed from the Protestant Coalition Facebook page.
Protestant Coalition - shit stirring
Off went little minions like Jack Ross and Christine Lewis, shamelessly telling anyone who'd listen that the original parade time had been reinstated, and that everyone should meet at City Hall for 1pm with the procession setting off at 2. 




We know the rest. 

Sam parted the sea of bemused onlookers and led his folk to the promised land of Twaddell, pumping out The Famine Song on Royal Avenue for good measure.

If LAD were a cop investigating this further breach of a PC ruling, we're pretty sure we'd know whose door to knock first.

"We claim the victory, so we do"

By on


Regular readers may have noticed that we are no great fan of former BNP man Big Jim (Dodgy) Dowson's so-called 'Protestant Coalition'.

In fact some might say that we have called them a pack of shit stirrers.

Dowson's party, fronted by Wee Willie Frazer under the chairmanship of uber-loyalist Sam McCrory have been quite shameless in using dubious means to drum up Facebook likes and increase their profile locally.

The biggest surprise has been that it has taken the local media a long time to catch up with L.A.D. in exposing this inflammatory bunch of unelectable clowns.

Today that changed when the News Letter's Sam McBride ran a piece entitled 'Attacking police justified, says Protestant Coalition' and quoted Party Chairman Sam McCrory as saying "They (the PSNI) took a very good beating and rightly so because we [as] a people have had enough and what happened last night is just the beginning of the tide turning” in regard to the disgraceful scenes in Belfast City Centre on Friday evening.

McCrory said: “It’s been a victory for the Protestant, unionist, loyalist community here in the centre of Belfast. Dissident republicans didn’t get parading through the middle of our city. They were re-routed. In the end they accepted defeat. We claim the victory, so we do, for the decent citizens of Belfast.”
Protestant Coalition - attacking police is justified

This followed a bizarre ranting statement by McCrory on You Tube when McCrory, flanked by his colleagues in the Protestant Coalition leadership team (Frazer, Bill Hill and the other baldy one) seemed to take responsibility for the violence on Friday evening.
Protestant Coalition: Bill (Bollocks) Hill, Sam (Motormouth) McCrory, unknown bald man, Wee Willie Frazer
Sadly the man pulling the strings of Frazer, Hill, Frazer et al, the afore-mentioned Jim (Dodgy) Dowson was not present on Friday evening - his bail conditions prevent him from entering Belfast.

However since the Protestant Coalition is funded by him and used his offices in Dundonald it will be interesting to see what view the PSNI and the courts take with regard to his tacit involvement.

So it will.

Jim (Dodgy) Dowson - shit stirrer
