EDL in Peterborough
... | 15.11.2010 17:49
The racist English Defence League have expressed an intention to march through
Peterborough on Saturday 11th December, Peterborough is an exceptionally diverse
city where a large number of different communities live in relative harmony and
Unite has been a contributing factor to this harmony recruiting workers from all
sections of the community to the Union specifically in the Fenland food processing
plants to the east of Peterborough and around Wisbech.
The last thing Peterborough needs is a bunch of pissed up Nazi football hooligans
running riot through the town smashing up the Asian community, the Peterborough
Trades Council is organising a counter demonstration and has a meeting on the 18th
December at 7pm at the PCS offices on Priestgate
http://www.ptuc.org.uk/ (Apologies
in advance for this website, it has an embedded youtube clip which will start
automatically with racist chanting at the beginning of it.......not my fault, we're
asking them to change it to something less offensive) where the counter
demonstration will be discussed.

While I appreciate the EDL are a problem for comrades up and down the country
Cambridge UAF regard the county of Cambridgeshire as our patch and we need help from the trades union movement to defend it from these Nazi pricks. If you could stick
the date in your diaries and start asking your workmates if they're up for attending
as well that would be massively appreciated.
SMASH EDL!!!!
