Well, that was embarrassing.
For reasons best known to himself, Blair Cottrell, the neo-Nazi fuehrer of the fascist grouplet the ‘United Patriots Front’ (UPF), decided a few days ago that it would be a really good idea to hold a rally at Parliament House and a march from there to the Premier’s office in Treasury Place.
Because the Premier, Daniel Andrews, described them as semi-literate and hateful bigots.
Several hundred anti-fascists and anti-racists made sure that things didn’t go quite according to the Master Race’s silly plan, however, and the 30-40 UPF members and supporters who stupidly thought they could swan about town on Saturday were soon disabused of the notion, being prevented from assembling at either Parliament or Treasury Place and instead being eventually confined to Macarthur Street — before going home with their tails between their legs.
In summary, the UPF’s shit soufflé simply failed to rise.
Finally, The Age‘s John Elder claims that the UPF contingent was 150: this is false, as photos and video of the UPF rally demonstrates. Further, there was no ‘clash’; police effectively kept the tiny mob of flagwits well away from anti-fascists. In any case: United Patriots Front and No Room for Racism clash in central Melbourne, The Age, November 28, 2015.

#UnitedPatriotsFront are #butthurt : Anti-racists dance!
G’day patriots,
The fascists of the United Patriots Front have been terribly #butthurt by statements made by the Victorian premier Daniel Andrews to the effect that they’re a bunch of semi-literate bigots.
Bloody communist!
As a result, the UPF has declared that they’ll be gathering @ Treasury Place at 1pm tomorrow (Saturday, November 28) to whine and complain.
In response, a dance party (11am, Treasury Gardens) and snap rally (12.30pm, Treasury Place) has been called.
Check it out!
PS.
Facebook forced me to remove this image from my page because it upset the delicate sensibilities of Blair Cottrell, the neo-Nazi fuehrer of the UPF. Please feel free to download and re-publish on Facebook and elsewhere. And yes, he really did propose that a portrait of Adolf Hitler be hung in every Australian classroom, that Mein Kampf be issued to every Australian school student annually, is a Holocaust denier, a White supremacist, and believes in a Jewish conspiracy to control the world.
Such patriotism!
