Call-out to all anti-racists and anti-fascists:</font><br><br>The
English Defence League - a group of racists, nationalists, fascists,
and football hooligans - plan to march in Newcastle on 29 May 2010. We
will oppose them.<br>The EDL claim that they oppose 'Muslim
extremism'. In fact, they are racists who seek to provoke conflict and
disunity. At previous marches they have chanted racist slogans and
made Nazi salutes. They have staged protests outside mosques and ran
riot in Luton, attacking bystanders.<br>We resist the EDL's attempt to
divide our communities. We need to stand together against those who
exploit and oppress us - unity is strength! The EDL's racist
provocation is an attack on us all.<br></span></font><font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The
police are currently warning local black/Asian West End community
groups to 'not be alarmed' about riot police in the area on Saturday.</span></span></font><br>
