Stop the racist EDL in Luton on February 5th, join the Unite Against Fascism protest.

The English Defence League, a violent racist organisation with links to the British National Party and other fascist groups has called a protest in Luton on Saturday February 5th.

The EDL, a violent racist organisation with links to the British National Party and other fascist groups, has called a ‘protest' on that day - they describe it as going ‘back where it all began'

It is clear what they mean: the EDL was formed after masked racist thugs went on the rampage hrough Luton last year, attacking Asian residents and spreading fear and intimidation. They are refusing to cooperate with police and EDL divisions are planning to split up and roam around the town in groups to threaten and intimidate local residents, especially Muslims.

Unite Against Fascism have called for a peaceful counter-protest that makes it clear racists aren't welcome in Luton. We are urging people to gather in Luton town centre at 12pm.

A coach will be going from Nottingham to join the Unite Against Fascism demonstration. It will be leaving at 8.45am outside Nottingham Royal Centre, Theatre Square. Tickets £7 unwaged/ £15 waged. To book a coach place, please call Nottingham UAF on 07816 041548. Or email: nottingham@uaf.org.uk
