Opposing the EDL in Norwich

Several have asked about the We Are Norwich plans to counter the messages of hatred and division from the EDL.

Nick O'Brien of We Are Norwich has responded to your pleas for more information, saying:
(W)e only found out the confirmed new date last week!

The (date) for the Public Meeting will be Wednesday 24th October - am confirming the venue on Monday.

We have said all along we will have a counter-demo, that came out in the article in the EDP last week and it's in our "what we stand for".

To be honest - the details about that won't come out until nearer the time because we are in dialogue with the police and the EDL haven't yet said anything other than there is a demo. By the middle of next week we should have a) confirmed the public meeting, b) launched the press release and c) released a vague statement re: the counterdemo.
Thanks, Nick, there is certainly a lot of determination to confront the excesses of the far right in our fine city of Norwich, and it is in everybody's interest to keep the opposition planned and orderly.

Breaking News:

News just in from Still Laughing At The English Defence League in Wallsall shows another damp squib "march" for the EDL:

Massive EDL turnout of 50 in Walsall

And from HOPE not hate in Oldham:


As you can see, huge rally here.
Nutzis, now is the winter of your discontent.

  1. Perhaps letting people know a bit more about what's going on would help keep the opposition planned and orderly? Responses from Hope Not Hate about any sort of activity that might be planned has been minimal at best. This is not very productive in uniting the people of Norwich against the EDL. We would get together if we knew that there was an event location, date and time to get together at.

  2. Did you read the message from Nick of We are Norwich above? He says "The (date) for the Public Meeting will be Wednesday 24th October - am confirming the venue on Monday." I guess that means later today.
    As soon as I know any more details I will let you know, and then I trust your dis will be less gruntled.
