Violence Feared As Rival Groups Stage Demos

A sixth MP Tony Lloyd (Labour, Manchester Central) has signed the Hope Not Hate petition.

The MPs have joined the growing protest against the EDL’s presence in the city this weekend.

The Unity Statement has also been signed by North West TUC, Show the Red Card to Racism, the Muslim Council of Britain, Manchester Unison Community and Mental Health branch, Oldham NUT, members of the Muslim Jewish Forum, the Independent Manchester United Supporters’ Association, trade unionists, church leaders and community groups.

The EDL, which has links to the BNP, has already held demonstrations in other parts of the country in an attempt to terrorise and intimidate Muslim and Asian people.

A protest rally against the EDL presence in Manchester starts in Piccadilly Gardens at 12 noon on Saturday, October 10th. Musicians who support Love Music Hate Racism will play during the rally.

Unite Against Fascism has called on protestors to occupy Piccadilly Gardens for the afternoon to prevent the EDL from demonstrating there. continues here


EDITOR'S Comment: Please remember that the EDL is not a nationalist group, it is neither supported by nationalists or works in our interest, most organisations involved in nationalism have distanced themselves from this group and any nationalists that attend, do so on a personal level only. Nationalist groups would prefer that you placed your energy behind a true nationalists group, The National Front are growing, still advocate street activism and need new members. The EDL have been set up to channel the peoples anger, to augment friction between communities in order to push forward the elites agenda, remember nationalism fights against all non-white colonisation, recognises race and seeks to regain our country and our continent, from those that would colonise it, exploit it or live off its wealth, the EDL seeks only to oppose Islam, support the rogue state of Israel and condemn those that would fight for your right to once again be free.
