Following their Bradford disaster you might think the EDL would be retreating to a corner to lick their wounds. Instead they think they can get away with coming to Leicester.

EDL members are talking about it on their forum (http:// s1.zetaboards.com/EDL_The_Forum/topic/3744809/1/) which links to a Facebook page that you can only access if you are a member. It's not on the official demo calendar yet but the date that's being talked about is 9th Oct.

If the EDL come to Leicester they will be met by thousands of angry locals from all backgrounds who will be more than willing to engage in some robust dialogue.

Why am I racist for opposing Islamofascism?

Comment Published: August 31, 2010 12:11 by Left wing but against Islamic extremism.

I would like to know why I am a racist for opposing Islamofascism? I have nothing whatsoever against people of other races and religons. I do however oppose the Islamofascists in this country who support terrorism and want to impose sharia law on us.

For the record I was also at the anti-G20 protests in London last year and have for many years been involved in anti-capitalist campaigns like the May carnivals against capitalism in the early 2000s, so thats your EDL stereotype out the window!

So you're a g20 protester and anti capitalist but your happy to share a demo with a bunch of far right patriotic arseholes who are in bed with zionists and nazis just to indulge in a bit of 70's style paki bashing ? Me thinks you are a liar or if not very seriously deluded .My enemies enemy is not my friend springs to mind or maybe you're thick as pig shit

There are more extremists and potential bomb makers on EDL demos than there are in Muslim communities. If you were really anti capitalist you would know that EDL is a tool being used for divide and rule purposes. The biggest threat in Britain at the moment is the threat of cuts. EDL are an embarrassing sideshow full of nazi freaks. Totally humiliated and bashed at Bradford.

EDL are definitly heading to leciester, this is from one of thier facebook pages from a group in the south:

"EDL Bristol & Somerset BAD NEWS IS THAT LUTON HAS BEEN CANCELLED...GOOD NEWS WERE GOING TO LEICESTER INSTEAD."
and:
" Good day infidels .... Luton is off but Leicester is on , so we still need to sort out transport. The prices are still the same, train is £30 return but if booked in groups will be cheaper..."
