The right-wing English Defence League (EDL), which had originally organised the march for August, said it put it back as a direct result of our front page story last week revealing the Royal Anglian Regiment would deliberately avoid Luton on its 150-mile charity walk.
The regiment said it was doing so because of the abuse it received from extremists on its homecoming parade in the town centre in March.
Now the EDL has reorganised its march for September 19. "the Royal Anglian Regiment would deliberately avoid Luton on its 150-mile charity walk"
EDL spokesman Tommy Robinson said: “It shows Luton is a no-go area for soldiers. It’s another way of saying the extremists have won. They’ll be celebrating. We’ll have more than 1,000 for our September march.”
Last week we reported that businesses were fearing a repeat of the EDL’s march in Birmingham earlier this month which was marred by violence.
A police spokesman said: “Bedfordshire Police is aware of this information and will continue to do all in its power to keep residents and visitors to Luton safe.” continues here
