English Defence League switch date for Dudley protest
The Birmingham Mail, 14/03/2010

THE controversial English Defence League has rearranged a protest in a Midland town which had been planned for Easter Sunday.



The group, which claims to oppose Islamic extremism and is said to have far-right links, will now take to the streets of Dudley the day before.

Spokesman Steve Simmons said the protest against a proposed new £18 million mosque in the town had been shifted "so as not to disturb people on the religious day".

A march by the EDL in Birmingham last September saw more than 90 people arrested, as cops battled for hours to keep them away from rival anti-fascist demonstrators.

Become a member of the EDL last week, I'm sick to death with seeing Islam all over areas of Britain, mosques being constructed in almost every town, it's just sickening

Welcome to the EDL mate.
