The EDL have announced their plans for Walthamstow, East London, this Saturday. Just as a reminder, here's a photo of the EDL showing their true colours in Newcastle - National Front colours!

The EDL have announced their plans for Walthamstow, East London, this Saturday. They say they'll be assembling in 3 pubs around Kings Cross, Central London, between 11am and 1pm, being escorted via Kings Cross station onto trains which will take them to Blackhorse Rd tube to arrive around 1.30pm, then marching for approx 15 minutes from Blackhorse Rd tube to Waltham Forest Town Hall, finally leaving Walthamstow around 4pm. Just as a reminder, here's a photo of the EDL showing their true colours in Newcastle - National Front colours!

Counter-protestors are advised not to bunch-up too much. Spread-out to avoid police kettling (like in Brighton). UAF have asked people to assemble near Walthamstow Central from 11am. Other anti-fascists are respectfully reminded that not everyone is young, fit or brave enough to consider militant actions, and that old folks and parents with prams etc have a right to oppose the EDL too - there's room for everyone. The EDL should be fairly well pissed-up by the time they hit Walthamstow so hopefully they won't much help in terms of making total twats of themselves
