Yesterday we launched a campaign to stop the racist football hooligans of the English Defence League from marching in Leeds city centre on 31 October. We sent out emails to 10,000 people in Yorkshire and within 18 hours over 2,150 letters have gone in to West Yorkshire Police and Leeds City Council calling on them to apply to the Home Secretary for a ban.This is a fantastic start and shows the strength of feeling about this issue. However, we need more signatures.

If the council and the cops doesnt ban this one the EDL neo-Nazi hoolies will be stupid enough to walk into united opposition not seen in Birmingham or other places.
Unlike in Birmingham, the massed opposition to fascism in Leeds is mostly white, and includes include a huge number of students who protested against Nick Griffin during the Nick Griffin Trial the Revo boys and girls (Revolutionary Socialist Youth) a sizeable number of anarchist groups (including the 635ers) and plenty of ordinary people who are sickened by fascism and will use what force is necessary to keep the nazis at bay.
If the local nonce Bramley division of the BPP think they can join in the action they had better watch their backs.

-Definetly agree there with ya, Leeds is literally a no-go zone for fascist and racist hools. There always has and always will be a strong antifascist counter force there
Edit: Police presence won't be necessary :)
Am I the only one to find it ironic that these DEL prats use balaclavas to hide their faces ... and doubtless condemn the burkha?
If BPP fuckwits Morrison and White aren't languishing in the Nonce Wing of Armley Jail, they're likely to be stalking anti-fascist protestors, threatening teenage girls with violence and rape like scumbags like them normally do.
Remember the last time BPP fascists tried to hold a rally against African-American rap music outside WH Smiths???
I don't see anything yet about this on Northern Indymedia, which is a shame.
Doesn't seem as user-friendly for new articles as the old Leeds/Bradford Indymedia.

It's because so many of them are members of the police.
We beat these fuckers in Harrow, but I'd much rather the EDL march had been banned
we did not beat them in harrow there were only about 10 of them against 1000 i suppose you would have got stuck into the 1000 lol
