Pagoda’s attempt to make racist hate go Europe wide was a humiliating failure in Dublin.  Thousands of anti-racists occupied the area around the GPO where they had intended to stage a protest meaning no event of any sort went ahead. 

Their leader never even made to the rally point.  It’s normal enough for these types to let the idiot foot soldiers take all the risks, only turning up when its safe.  However ran into a anti-fascists on the tram into the city centre and ended up in hospital. The value of this sort of militant opposition is demonstrated by events in Prague the same day, February 6th. After the Prague Pegida rally a mob attacked and set on fire a nearby refugee centre, demonstrating the outcome of allowing these fascists organise without challenge. 

Back in Dublin small gangs of fascists were lurking in nearby streets and attacked a couple of journalists who tried to interview them, this however resulted in many people turning on them and driving them out of the area.  As you will see from our video riot police (Garda) were then deployed to protect the fleeing fascists, some of whom were hiding in a 2 Euro store.
