On Saturday 3 September the English Defence League plan to march through the streets of Tower Hamlets. They want to peddle their racism and hatred through the heart of one of Britain’s biggest Muslim communities. I would like your help to stop them.The EDL want to whip up racism and terrorise the local Muslim community. There can be no other explanation for their provocative march. They are coming to East London looking for a confrontation and trying to provoke a violent reaction. This is the last thing the people of Tower Hamlets want or need.
We are calling on the authorities to ban this hate march.
We have shown before that we can force the authorities to act. We stopped the EDL from marching through a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood of Bradford last year. More recently we forced the Home Secretary to ban the controversial US preacher, Pastor Jones, from entering Britain.
Now we need to stop the EDL from marching in Tower Hamlets in September.
Tower Hamlets has a long and proud history of immigration and resistance to racism and fascism and so we must stand up against the EDL now. We’ve made a difference before and I know we can be successful again. Please sign our petition.
We will be handing in the petition to the police in Tower Hamlets in early August.
"We, the undersigned, call on the authorities to ban the proposed march by the English Defence League (EDL) in Tower Hamlets on Saturday 3 September. The EDL is a violent racist organisation that seeks to vilify Muslim communities and damage community relations. Its planned march is designed to whip up fear and incite violence. We reject entirely the EDL and its anti-Muslim racism and we don’t see why the people of Tower Hamlets should pay for its march of hate. We are proud of Tower Hamlets, a vibrant multiracial area, which has a long and proud history of immigration and resistance to racism. From Cable Street in the 1930s, to Brick Lane in the 1970s and to Millwall in the 1990s, the people of Tower Hamlets have come together to see off racism and fascism before. We will now stand united against the racist and anti-Muslim EDL. We believe that everyone has the right to live in peace and without the fear of abuse or violence. We stand against all prejudice, whether it’s racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, sexism or homophobia. We oppose all extremism – from whatever quarter – and we recognise that extremism breeds extremism. We condemn the extremist EDL just as we condemn Islamist extremism. We say a plague on both their houses. We believe that the people of Tower Hamlets should be allowed to live without the threat of violence and fear. This is why we are standing together with the Muslim community against the hatred of the EDL and Islamophobia more generally. We believe in HOPE not hate. That is why we are calling on the authorities to ban the EDL march of hate."
Hope not hate

Count the fascist skinheads:
In the photo, I could count at least six rightwing skinheads, although there could be more with the scum in the baseball caps.
With Gri££in's BNP now dead and buried, there's nowhere else for hardcore neo-fascists to go other than sign up for the EDL.
The "NS" they leave after comments for "no surrender" quite conveniently for many nutzis means "national socialism".
Anyone who's not a neonazi has now well and truly left the EDL, meaning the orgasation is, in the words of the late and ungreat John Tyndall "100% racist and National Socialist!"
Nonces, wife beaters, drunken louts, football hooligans, fascists and racists allowed to march. That's "democracy" is it?

You really are a two hat.
Why the hell do the state permit the far right to trail behind troop homecoming parades, when soldiers are dying in Afganistan by Taliban fighters spurred on to believe the British army are anti-Islamic???
The EDL nazi fuckwits are putting soldiers lives at risk by latching onto the army and RAF.
The EDL know full well that their march will be banned under some Public Order sub section or other.
What they crave is publicity especially when they can point to their victimhood in the name of English patriotism.
