EDL - We can stop them says Hope not Hate‏

In the past few days Hope Not Hate has been getting reports scraps of that English Deefence League's "The Big One" - the violent and racist groups event in Bradford - will be bigger and more dangerous than first http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/StopTheEDL


We simply can't let anti-Muslim violence spill onto the streets.

And this time we can stop them. The EDL have actually applied for a march in Bradford, rather than a static protest as they have done in other places - so the Home Secretary has the power to stop them.

We can write to the Home Secretary, the Chair of Home Affairs Select Committee and the Chair of Communities and Local Government Committee which demands that act to stop the EDL's outpour of violence. Co-sign the Hape Not Hope letter at http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/StopTheEDL

We need to draw a line in the sand right here and now. History has shown us that groups like the EDL can spark mass riots if they're given the chance to attack local communities. As we saw in Oldham and Bradford in 2001 - this can set back community cohesion by years - and creates an environment in which the BNP thrive.
