We can stop them

I've sent out an email to our supporters urging them to co-sign a letter I've written to the Home Secretary and the Chairs of the Home Affairs Select Committee and the Communities and Local Government Committee urging them to take action against the EDL.

As I've said on the blog before, we need to stop the EDL going to Bradford. This time we have a chance. The EDL have applied for a demonstration, not a static protest as they normally do. This means that permission needs to be given and the Home Secretary has the power to refuse. The law is very clear. This is one we can win.

Whether we can depends on whether we can exert enough pressure on the Home Secretary and this is why we need as many people to sign our letter.

* UPDATE Within 50 minutes of my email going out an amazing 1,610 people have signed the letter
