The racists and Islamophobes of the English Defence League are planning to hold a rally in Leicester on October 9th 2010. Leicester council have set up an email so that local people in Leicester [and anti fascists] can send in their views against the EDL march. EDL marches have descended into violence and race riots. Stop the EDL!

EDL organisers are proven Nazis

EDL organisers are proven Nazis (detailed info)...
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3FUDwU_yxg

The EDL pretend they don't tolerate Nazis in their movement, but EDL organiser Jeff Marsh co-ordinates Welsh Defence League activities with his co-organisers - Nazis Luke Pippen (in this You Tube video with the goatee beard) and Steven White (skinhead, sometimes with beard, sometimes clean-shaven, with Nazi tattoos). After several WDL Nazis were exposed on-line, the WDL now operate open (publicly visible) and closed (secret) Facebook groups, to hide their activities from public view. The EDL/WDL have argued with some members who refused to stop making Nazi salutes in public, but the EDL leadership's happy to have Nazi organisers as long as the Nazis hide their true beliefs. The You Tube video shows EDL organisers Luke Pippen, Steven White and other goons attending EDL demos, making Nazi salutes and showing Nazi tattoos.

EDL leaders ask Nazi to steward EDL demo...

On 5th March 2010 the EDL protested in London to support the Islamophobic Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who was visiting the UK to promote his film "Fitna". On 17 Oct 2009 EDL supporter Bryan Powell had his photo taken among a group of Sieg Heiling Nazis at an earlier EDL demo in Swansea. This video shows a photo of the EDL mob in Swansea, and 2 more photos of Bryan Powell, posing with the EDL's Welsh Division and "relaxing" (moustache shaved off) in front of a Nazi flag at home. After the Swansea disaster the EDL said they'd chuck Nazis like Bryan Powell out of the EDL and ban Nazis from EDL demos. So what did the EDL actually do about this? Did they chuck Bryan Powell out of the EDL? No, they made Bryan Powell an official steward on the Geert Wilders demo in London!

**************************

STILL PHOTOS - 1 to 3 Luke Pippen (in the 3rd photo Steven White is standing beside him holding the black British Freedom Fighters T-shirt). Photos 4 to 6 Steven White. Photos 1 and 5 also show Nazi Bryan Powell, and photo 7 shows Bryan Powell as an official steward at the EDL Geert Wilders demo in London.
