EDL members, including Police Liaison Officer 'Tony Williamson', disrupted a UAF meeting on how to defeat the EDL yesterday causing a heated argument and the meeting to be called off. This follows the violent disruption of a Manchester UAF open meeting by 'Leon Britain', also a Police Liaison Officer for the EDL, who led a gang of 8 men who attempted to boot down the door of the refugee centre and attack elderly comrades and students inside (see screenshots). A Bristol meeting was also disrupted.

'Leon Britain', who holds a high position in the EDL ranks, is based in Stockport and is an Orange Order member originally from Belfast. He left for the UK under dodgy terms. The West Midlands Police paid for both Tony and Leon to stay in a hotel for 3 days so they could discuss the Dudley protest, all expenses paid of course.
