Bradford: a disaster for racist ‘English Defence League
The English Defence League’s “Big One” in Bradford last Saturday was an utter humiliation for the racist group.
The EDL had claimed that it would mobilise at least 5,000 thugs to intimidate one of Britain’s largest Muslim communities. But these claims turned to dust as fewer than 1,000 turned out.

Don’t let the racists divide our community
The EDL has targeted Muslims and mosques, whipping up hatred and division where it has been allowed to march. Its violence and racism were exposed again on Saturday 17 July, when an EDL rally in Dudley descended into mayhem and EDL supporters attacked shops and smashed car windows.
EDL supporters have paraded their violence on YouTube and have been caught on camera giving Nazi salutes during their rallies and marches.
