EDL in Leeds this Saturday

Our friends (?) the Zionist loving EDL are coming to my home city this Saturday. The row is all over the Lingfield Public House being turned into a Muslim centre. The EDL are opposing it on the grounds that it is not wanted by the mostly White estates of Moortown and Cranmer Bank.
The Lingfield was a typical estate pub in its day and my late Uncle Mick (Michael McCarthy) spent his afternoons there playing dominoes ( a Yorkshire working class obsession that I fail to see the point in, but then again I am a chess snob).
Uncle Mick - and I knew his views well - would be spitting fire on Saturday and probably outclassing the EDL with his fiery Celtic temper - Mick had no time for Cool Multi-Racial Brittania - as I haven't either.
This demo comes along on top of the news of the near miss bombing of the EDL demo in Dewsbury last year.
What a great pity the EDL has to be pro-Zionist. I could easily support a street movement called the British Defence League (or better the White Defence League), and I am sure 90% + of those attending including many locals will only know of the English Defence League's anti-Muslim stance.
Here's the latest report below our very own Yorkshire Evening Post ( with its once resident Commie B* - AFA reporter, Peter Lazenby.

Lazenby by the way hasn't retired from journalism and now writes unsurprisingly for the Communist 'Morning Star' and the ultra-left 'Red Pepper' -

                                       - oh why not here's a picture of the scumbag!

 

Anyway and now - hold yer breath - I give you the latest EDL report...

 

FAR right demonstrators are planning a protest at a former Leeds pub earmarked for conversion into an Muslim-run community centre.

Saturday’s rally by the English Defence League (EDL) outside the old Lingfield pub in Alwoodley comes just four days after six men pleaded guilty to a failed plot to blow up a similar demonstration in Dewsbury last year.

A counter demonstration by Unite Against Fascism is also planned.

Mohammed Arif, of UK Islamic Mission (UKIM), which is behind the community centre proposal, said: “It’s really unfortunate that the EDL are bringing people in from outside the locality to create an issue when we have been very transparent about what we are doing, both in the planning process and during consultation meetings.

“However, we are not going to get involved.”

UKIM wants to create a centre with a public gym, IT suite, library, training facilities. and a prayer room for up to 70 worshippers.

The plan has been at the centre of a storm of controversy, with more than 400 letters of objection over traffic congestion and noise concerns.

The night before a planning meeting to discuss the application in February, the words ‘no mosque’ were daubed on the building.

Councillors approved the plan despite the protests.

Supt Martin Snowden, from North East Leeds Police, said: “We have a duty to protect the right to peaceful protest, and plans are in place so those demonstrating are allowed to do so while causing minimum disruption to local residents and businesses.

“Forming part of our plans there will be an increased police presence in the Moortown area on Saturday to reassure local people and ensure that any offences are dealt with in a positive manner.”
