The EDL's friends spread rumours about text messages claiming that "women had been raped and a boy killed by the EDL" and they then blamed these texts for the fact that hundreds of people took to the streets to chase the EDL from the area follwoing EDL attacks in the area that night.
That night the EDL handed out leaflets in Whitechapel that were bound to cause trouble. The EDL racially insulted, abused and threatened Asian youths. The EDL pulled off a Muslim womans' Hijab and terrified her.

The EDL have now made a you tube video mocking local young people and making fun of the people of Whitechapel. It is clear that the EDL are thick.

On 20th June, having threatened to march on East London mosque and London Muslim Center to disrupt the Muslim Council of Britian AGM, the EDL went to Edgeware Road at around 11.00am to disrupt an Islamic conference having congreagted at 8.30am in Marble Arch. The police removed the EDL from Edgeware Road and the EDL went to Downing Street to disrupt a Muslim protest. The EDL were then arrested.

The EDL now plan to go to Romford in Essex on June 26th and to Dudley on July 17th.
