Birmingham EDL demo off?

We've just been informed that the planned EDL demo in Birmingham is off and instead the EDL intends to take itself off to Blackburn, Lancashire on April 2nd. Anyone got any more on this?

So the neo-nazi EDL want to disrupt a Muslim religious holy day just to be annoying and disrespectful bastards by marching through Blackburn.

'Has my post been deleted? Why?'

Maybe. I didn't see the deleted post. It might have gone into the spam bin. Google has been playing up a bit today, as you may have noticed from the misreported number of comments, and a hell of a lot of posts that are perfectly acceptable have gone into the spam bin for no reason at all.

Interestingly enough, LibDem councillor Martin Mullaney, whose blatant slander and libel against anti-war Councillor Yaqoob just to grab a bit of publicity, seems to be in the process of backfiring. He is, according to the very same red-top that gave him a platform for his bigotry, "under investigation from LibDem officials both locally and nationally" and has been attacked by his own party leader on Brum Council.

What goes around, comes around. He must now get kicked out of the LibDems as his actions were neither liberal or truly democratic.
