      Gabrielle,

      Even for the EDL, this is staggeringly low.

      At up to 60 demos tomorrow -- more than we've seen in a long time -- the EDL will gather to put their hate-fuelled ignorance on show, using the horrific death of Drummer Lee Rigby as their pitiful excuse.

      Now is the time to show that fair-minded people in Britain far outnumber EDL hatemongers. Are you with us?

      The letter below will be printed in tomorrow's Daily Mirror. One click now and you can add your name in support.

      We Are The Many

      Today, the violent English Defence League will hold demonstrations in towns and cities across our country, trying to spread their message of hate. By blaming all Muslims for the terrible murder of Drummer Lee Rigby, the EDL will attempt to whip up a climate of fear and violence towards the Muslim community in Britain.

      But the EDL will fail. They will fail because we, the British people, reject their ignorance.

      The EDL and Islamic extremists are more similar to each other than to us. They share a violent, hate-fuelled desire for conflict and war, and we will not let either group tear our country apart.

      We condemn the shameful rise in anti-Muslim violence since Drummer Rigby's killing. The fair-minded majority of Britons understand that a community cannot be blamed for the actions of just two. We know that the EDL does not speak for all Britain, just as we know that Muslim extremists do not speak for all Muslims.

      We, the British people, shun the EDL's message of hate today because they do not speak for us. We are confident that HOPE will prevail. It will prevail because they are the few, and we are -- and always will be -- the many.

      Yours,

      Gabrielle Jones

       



       

      In hope and solidarity,
      -- Eddie
