Recent months have seen a sharp rise in racist activity. The EDL have organised violent demonstrations around the country, mosques have been attacked and there has been an increase in racist street harassment. In Sheffield, the EDL have sought to control the streets by vandalising a Muslim group's information stall and assaulting anti-fascist protesters.

The EDL are organising a demonstration against plans to turn the Pheasant Pub on Barnsley Road into a mosque, despite no such plans existing. The EDL claim they are only against Islamic extremism but are yet again showing that they see all Muslims as the enemy.

The EDL claim to represent the working class, but they have attacked trade unionists, anti-cuts activists and many other working class people of colour. They offer no solutions to everyday problems but just seek to divide us.

We are calling for a mass opposition. Follow us on Twitter or email us to keep up to date with our plans.
