<div>From EDL march info (see below) we have the immortal line </div>
<div> </div>
<div>"please refrain from using the 'Allah, Allah, who the f*** is Allah?' song, same goes for the 'Allah is a pedo' song, these are not the kind of songs the EDL leadership feels are appropriate for our demonstration purposes. Also, please be respectful to any members of the press. While we all know certain sections of the media have been atrocious in their reporting of us, sticking fingers up at them will not alleviate that situation.."</div>

<div>Which if this wasn't such a shite state of affairs would be, in a pythonesque kind of way, almost funny. </div>

<div>FYI </div>
<div>From EDL: <br>> London March 5th<br>> <br>> Friends of EDL, on Friday March 5th we will be demonstrating in central London in the home of democracy, to protect democracy. Geert Wilders has been harassed, threatened, litigated against and terrorised because of his views. Whether you agree or not, his voice should be heard as a legally elected representative of his country.<br>
> <br>> When we go to London, there will be for the first time a properly organised stewarding system. It must be remembered by all that these stewards are 100% loyal EDL supporters, they are there because their presence is to the benefit of EDL. Just their presence makes things much easier for us to get a fair hearing in our demonstrations, and for the first time, an agreed march.<br>
> <br>> Now this email is not about the details of the actual march itself, more of what you can expect from it. Those kind of details will be sent out through the divisional and regional organisers.<br>> <br>> As the march is progressing, the police may stop the line from time to time (indeed we should expect this to happen quite often). This is not an attempt to halt the march. It is more so that the rear end can catch up, or to clear an obstruction ahead, so please do be patient during these times. It is normal, and to be expected. The march itself will take much longer than it would take to walk the distance, this is exactly what we want as our 'exposure' along the route is greater.<br>
> <br>> The stewards will be colour coded, team leaders will have orange hi-vis vests, and first aiders will have green vests. Ordinary stewards will wear yellow. Anyone volunteering for any of these roles please see your organisers and they will put you in touch with the right people. We do have enough vests though please feel free to bring any you wish to donate, as more stewards can then be called upon to help (ie you) if needed.<br>
> <br>> If you are asked by a steward to leave the demo, please do so without fuss. Any complaints can be handled later, though it is very unlikely a steward will ask someone to leave for nothing. Racism and violence will not be tolerated. Please back up our stewards at every opportunity.<br>
> <br>> Also, please refrain from using the 'Allah, Allah, who the f*** is Allah?' song, same goes for the 'Allah is a pedo' song, these are not the kind of songs the EDL leadership feels are appropriate for our demonstration purposes. Also, please be respectful to any members of the press. While we all know certain sections of the media have been atrocious in their reporting of us, sticking fingers up at them will not alleviate that situation, only inflame it. We only ask the press for a fair hearing.<br>
> <br>> The demonstration area is the heart of our great land, anyone attempting to destroy any property of this area can expect the wrath of those around him, as well as ejection from the demonstration. Parliament might have what we consider the wrong kind of people in it right now, but the walls themselves are sacred to us.<br>
> <br>> One final note with regard to toilet facilities. The demonstration location is a tourist spot and thus an area of our nations beauty, so there will be no 'portaloos' available. However there are public toilets available nearby and people will be allowed to leave the demonstration in small groups to use those facilities. However it is preferable and easier if you 'go' before we start the march. Excessive drinking before the demonstration is to be avoided, remember this is a serious issue we face, our protests actually mean something, so it should always be borne in mind that we are embarking on a protest, not on a day trip beano.<br>
