This saturday, the English Defence League will try to invade Portsmouth for the second time. We are calling on anti-fascists to stand against their racial violence and oppose the march through the city streets.
Last November, the EDL attacked the local Jami Mosque with stones, bottles and fireworks. 70 anti-fascists gathered within a couple of hours notice and stood firm and unintimidated against a flash demo of around 200. This time, we have time to prepare and get the word out. We cannot allow the EDL to gain confidence in this city and allow them to run wild. Time to nip this in the bud!
We are calling out to anti-fascists everywhere to come and help make the counter demonstration as strong as possible.
As the EDLs plans are liable to change between now and saturday and to avoid confusion, there will be a hotline with information on the meet up point left on an answer phone. The information will be released on the day and the number to call is 07864 657 295.
The meeting place will be near the town centre around midday with a more precise location available on the day.
The EDL are using Portsmouth and Southsea train station to direct the EDL to various muster pubs. This is the nearest train station to the demo but if you'd prefer to use a different station, Fratton station and Portsmouth Harbour are both about 20 minutes away.
The National Front was stopped in Portsmouth and never dared raise their cretinous heads again, it's the EDLs turn now.
See you on the streets!
