Anger as date set for English Defence League march in Leicester city centre

EDL demo in Nottingham​The controversial English Defence League has formally applied to march through Leicester city centre.

The group, who critics accuse of using violence, has ended weeks of speculation by making a formal written request to Leicestershire police.

It wants to stage a protest in the city centre on Saturday, October 9, and has indicated that 3,000 supporters will take part.

The route has not been disclosed.

Counter-demonstrations are being planned by at least two organisations, Unite Against Fascism and Hope Not Hate.

A minimum of 1,000 police officers are expected to be needed in the city centre to ensure public order.

Leicester City Council and the police are carrying out a consultation with people across the city before deciding whether to ask the Home Office to ban the group – and others – from marching on the day.

The authorities are powerless to prevent the group from staging a static protest – although they can impose legally binding conditions on any chosen location, numbers taking part and the duration.

Samuel Tarry, of Hope Not Hate, said the group was aiming to invite Leicestershire people to stand against the EDL.

A ‘peace vigil’ is planned in the city centre, possibly the day before the protest. Meetings have been held with community groups and faith leaders.

Mr Tarry said: “Bussing people in from other parts of the country is not the way forward.

“After the EDL and whoever else demonstrates, it is the people of Leicester who are left to pick up the pieces and, if necessary, defuse any tensions.”

Martin Traynor, group chief executive of Leicestershire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Retailers are obviously very concerned a march of this type would put shoppers off coming to the city centre.

“There is also a concern it could have a longer-term impact on people’s perceptions of the city.”

Chief Superintendent Rob Nixon, in charge of policing in the city, said his officers would work with the council to gauge public opinion.

County council leader David Parsons said: “Everyone clearly has a right to demonstrate but the EDL are unwelcome. They are trying to stir things up.”

wheres the 'ANGER' ?

comments section is funny :D

For those not aware the Leicester Mercury (this is Leicestershire) is owned by the Daily Mail.

I suggest the council go and speak to people on estates such as Braunstone and Northfields and see if they want a demo.When they talk about communicating with people they mean they have spoken to a few Muslim "community leaders" in Highfields.

The majority of people in Leicester are sick to the teeth of this multicultural crap.We have had it force fed to us for the last three decades and enough is enough.The gloves are coming off.

This sums it up for me...

That is something that bears true for the whole of our once fine country i reckon.

Such good publicity - and it's free! Some of the comments are real gems with a minority of writers of dubious morals having the traditinal whinge.

I have to say Leicester Dv. are so grateful to the Leicester Mockery for all the free publicity they're giving us! Seriously - recruiting has never been so easy. It's brilliant! Even if we'd managed to scrape together £250 for a half page advert they'd have refused to print it. But here we are on the front page nearly every day - you can't buy that kind of publicity! Roll on the 9th! :D

I'd gladly take the old boy out for the day to the demo. Just imagine the EDL, each pushing a pensioner in a wheelchair, decorated with flags. I wonder if the media would report them as elderly, racist, skinhead thugs. :D

We should find out which nursing home it is and offer to bring them with us on 9th :)
THEY JOINED FOR MANY REASONS, TO MARCH, TO SAIL, TO FLY. THEY WENT WHERE THEY WERE POSTED, BUT NOBODY JOINS TO DIE. THEIR LEADERS TALK ON TV, WHAT ELSE COULD WE HAVE DONE? BUT THOSE LEADERS LOST NO DAUGHTERS, AND NONE HAS LOST A SON. SO HERE'S TO ALL OUR SOLDIERS WHEREVER THEY MAY BE...AND HERES TO ALL THEIR FAMILIES, I RAISE A GLASS TO THEE...WEAR YOUR POPPY WITH PRIDE.
