Update for Croydon anti-EVF demo tomorrow

brighton antifascists | 26.07.2013 18:16 | Anti-racism | Migration | London

Far-right EDL splinter group the English Volunteer Force are demonstrating in Croydon tomorrow. They will be outside Lunar House - the home of the UK Border Agency. Antifascists will be there to oppose them. UPDATED INFO

London activists are being encouraged to gather at Brixton Windrush Square at 9.30am - everyone else get yourself to Lunar House Croydon, 11.30am.

The EVF demo is at 12.00, though they will likely be in the area from earlier.

There will not be queues of asylum seekers out the door of Lunar House as they have closed their enquiry counter for the day and people have had their appointments rescheduled. There may still be people wandering in and out of the building though.

We believe the UAF/TUC counter demo is unfortunately going to be on the other side of a large dual carriageway road from Lunar House.

At 2pm the racists will recongregate, this time under the banner of SEA, at The White Horse Pub, Woolwich Road, (nearest tube Charlton). They are planning to walk about 10 miles to Westminster and then to hold a rally.

So either get yourself directly there or antifascists have called out for a meet up at 3pm, junction of Deptford High St and New Cross Rd, to halt their march.

Antifascist network people will be tweeting from the ground tomorrow in croydon and woolwich from @StopEVF and @SouthLondonAF

EVF meeting 11am at East Croydon, then heading to Lunar House 11.30am

The poor EVF couldn't find a pub to host them before their demo. They've regretfully decided to instead meet at East Croydon Station at 11am, gather there until 11.30am, and then head over to Lunar House.

Good on all the Croydon pubs who refused to host the fascists - maybe Woolwich's White Horse should be as principled? Ask them about it - 020 8854 2646.
