The hate filled racist and fascist thugs of the English Defense League are planning to demonstrate in Whitechapel from 5:30pm tonight outside the "Islamic Revival 2010" being held until 10pm at the Water Lily Business Center, 10 Cleveland Way, E1 4UF.

The EDL are planning two national demonstrations today in Nuneaton and Preston and the London and South East divisions are planning on coming back early from the protests to London to demonstrate in London.
( see their discussions:  http://casualsunited.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/londonsouth-east-divisions-call-to-arms-saturday/ )

Their demonstration will take place at 5 30pm today, Saturday 27th of November, outside the "Islamic Revival 2010" being held until 10pm at the Water Lily Business Center, 10 Cleveland Way, E1 4UF.

Everywhere the EDL have gone they have spread racist views and attacked vulnerable members of the community. Recently they attacked a woman in a restaurant in Leicester while chasing Asian and black youth through the streets after breaking police lines:  http://vimeo.com/15787978

When they announced they where going to demonstrate in Whitechapel earlier this year on June 20th, the antifascist mobilisation and the unity of the Tower Hamlets community scared them off. They have since wanted to come back to Whitechapel and spread violence and hatred. The conference today is just an excuse for them to come to Whitechapel and attack people on the basis of their ethnicity.

Please spread this information to all groups you know and take whatever action you think necessary to oppose the far right and the racist thugs of the EDL.
