The English Defence League in Harrow Tonight.

Hi, I've been asked to give just a word about a protest by the EDL against a mosque in Harrow today. If you are not aware, they EDL claim to be a protest group against Islamification. This usually involves picking fights and against non Whites etc. The EDL appears to have been set up by BNP members (and domains registered by BNP members) and consists of the Football hooligans and 'casual's, the sort of fine open minded persons such as the Millwall 'fans' (apologies to real Millwall fans) who brought havoc and violence to the streets of Hull last year.

The National Union Journalist has also noted the threats the EDL have made against journalists, even though the point of protests is to gain as much publicity as possible.
(http://www.nuj.org.uk/innerPagenuj.html?docid=1334). The EDL openly state "….anyone taking photos or filming our members, unless we have invited them, SHOULD BE TREATED AS A HOSTILE.". The EDL call independent press 'Scum'.

Why are they so hostile to an independent and free press.
Jeremy Dear, NUJ General Secretary, said: "We also have a name for photographers who expose fascist thugs – we call them excellent journalists.Our members work hard to ensure people have access to independent reports and images of public events. Photographers should be free to take pictures without intimidation."


Anyway, if anyone can, please join the counter protest against the EDL at Harrow mosque today at 5pm. As always, keep it peaceful and calm.
