The English Defence League (EDL) plummeted to new depths today by parading several of their new recruits. They had hoped that by including a few deluded Black and Asian recruits they could somehow convince the public that they are no-longer considered a racist organisation and an extra arm of the British National Party.

The planned demonstration coincided with the controversial visit to England of Dutch far right extremist Gert Wilders who reportedly described the Koran as a fascist book.

Arriving in Parliament square at 3.30pm the EDL were confronted by over 300 anti fascist demonstrators. Police funnelled them onto a small grassy verge for their own protection and the opposing sides traded insults.

Mark Weir, reporter at the scene said: “The EDL supporters appeared to have changed their tactics since the violent demonstrations in Luton, Harrow and Birmingham. However their  attempts to convince the public into believing that they are not just a party simply made-up of racist football thugs is unlikely to have been achieved today. They were out-numbered and given a police escort for there own protection.

Sensing that the anti-fascist demonstrators had gained the upper-hand the EDL could only counter with chants such as “England for English….and ban the Burka…”

When this didn’t work two dejected looking black and Asian youth’s were hoisted onto the shoulders of two stocky looking EDL individuals for an impromptu photocal.

This despicable act by individuals hell-bent on using every tool at their disposal in an attempt to be seen as a legitimate organisation should be viewed as warning to minority communities living in Britain.

In the run-up to the general election these thugs will stop at nothing in their attempts to achieve a non inclusive Britain. Minority communities should be vigilant.” said Mark Weir.
