"...The last two years of demonstrations could arguably have been dress rehearsals for this one.
For too long now this cancerous infestation has been allowed to spread & it is now time to help stop the rot, we urge all who love this country to attend.
The time has come to show the world that the Lion has now awoken, we will no longer be silenced or kettled in by the government or its police.
We go where we want & when we want, so lets show our strength in numbers & unity, it is time to get off your keyboards and get your feet on the street
United we shall stand divided we shall fall, as patriots and defenders of this our great country.
NO SURRENDER!"

The above abstract is copied from their own announcement on Facebook.

The thought of the racist fascist EDL coming to East London fills me with total disgust and dread as to the damage they're going to inflict on the local community.

Being of the non violent persuasion, and seeing as they are patently looking for a serious punch up, and have announced no cooperation with the police, this is going to be extremely messy.

So it won't turn into another Cable Street riot, what do you think can/should be done?
