The EDL had announced on a Facebook page: to gather at the Trent inn, for  a 'commemorative march' to the Victoria Embankment War Memorial on the north bank of the Trent this Saturday in Nottingham. [1st June 2013]  

Anti-racism campaigners have branded Saturday a "day of hate" after identifying 55 English Defence League (EDL) events as well a BNP march in London. They say "they are using the murder of Lee Rigby"

The events are seen as the latest attempt by UK far-right groups to exploit the murder of the British soldier Lee Rigby, who was stabbed to death in Woolwich, south-east London, last week.

"Towns and cities across England are going to have EDL events – many of them for the first time – and this is about the EDL taking their message of hate and division to communities across the country to try to stoke tensions and provoke a response," said Nick Lowles from Hope not Hate.
