Letter to the Home Secretary to stop a repeat of the 2001 Bradford Riots (EDL)

Lucy Cartwright | 02.08.2010 17:41 | Anti-racism | Culture | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Courtesy of the English Defence League, Bradford could be hit by 5000 racist thugs later this month in an attempt to cause major public disorder and create racial tensions.



A letter has been written to the Home Secretary and the Chairs of the Home Affairs Select Committee and the Communities and Local Government Committee urging them to take action against the EDL coming to Bradford. We are trying to stop at up to 5,000 EDL thugs descending on the city who have a single goal of whipping up inter-community tensions.

We have a massive chance of banning the EDL from Bradford. Whether we can depends on whether we can exert enough pressure on the Home Secretary and this is why we need as many people to sign our letter.

You can sign the letter here:  http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/StopTheEDL

When you’ve signed, please circulate this round the web, update your facebook status with it and share it on your news feed! We need as many people to sign as possible.
