Police confirm English Defence League (EDL) protest in Dewsbury


Police have confirmed that the English Defence League will hold a static protest outside Dewsbury Town Hall on Saturday, June 11 between 2pm and 3pm.

Chief Superintendent John Robins said they would treat the EDL "fairly but firmly" in a video message. He said Kirklees police were now planning the policing operation for the day, saying: "The police are under a duty to police that event and we will facilitate a peaceful protest within Dewsbury town centre. Between now and then we are planning and preparing to make sure that the event goes peacefully during the day.

"West Yorkshire Police has a vast experience of policing demonstrations, however, at this stage it's a locally organised EDL group who are saying they are coming."

He warned shoppers and traders that there would be some disruption in Dewsbury on that afternoon. And he added: "Clearly, our message to the EDL on the day is that we will treat you fairly but firmly to ensure that it's a peaceful protest."

'Not much good news for our man in the BNP bunker, Nick Griffin. There are the legal worries – the party has been called in by the Electoral Commission to talk about its accounting procedures. Money worries – firms have sought thousands of pounds for past services rendered. Organisational worries – so many of his former disciples now yearn to see the back of him. So it's pleasing to be able to lift his spirits a bit. For we have seen that list of his members and national organisers, the most recent leak arising from the civil war within his party. But we don't plan to do anything with it. Still, it's jolly interesting.'

If the Guardian are going to do something with it rather that sitting smugly wafting it around going " oh have you seen what we have got" then fair enough.
There are some excellent journalists on that paper like Ian Cobain who infiltrated the BNP and became an organiser 5 years ago http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2006/dec/21/thefarright.politics and who broke the original membership list leak when all the other news groups thought it was a wind up.

Membership leaks are like anti biotics and the more you have them the weaker they get.

Now, If anybody has The Trafalgar Club list them please send that through.

The nazi bastards know how to twist the police round their little fingers. They should know by now what the EDL say and what they do are two completely different things, fortunately the foolish actions of the police ARE accountable by the great English public (look at Stephen Lawrence case) UNLIKE the EDL.

Lancaster Unity already has the list. Who do you think gave it to the Guardian?
