Bradford Together – Peace Vigil

posted by: Nick Lowles | on: Saturday, 21 August 2010, 00:11

It’s the end of a really long and busy day. I’ve given more than a dozen interviews, spoke to several newspaper reporters, all whilst working on the next issue of Searchlight.

We’ve also been putting the finishing touches to the Peace Vigil which we shall be holding in Bradford next Friday, a day before the EDL hold its static protest. The vigil gives local people an opportunity to show their opposition to the EDL and celebrate modern Bradford without fear of a confrontation with the racist hooligans.

People want to live in peace and without the fear of violence and hatred. We need to build on this new community spirit and forge a togetherness that will outlast the EDL.
