The petition to ban the EDL march of hate is closed

Community leaders from within Tower Hamlets and representatives of the HOPE not hate campaign have today (17/08/11) handed in a 25,000 name petition to the Metropolitan Police. The petition calls on the authorities to ask the Home Secretary to ban the English Defence League (EDL) march in Tower Hamlets on Saturday 3 September, which we believe is provocative and designed to whip up fear and tensions and is likely to incite violence and mass disorder.

Thank you for your support
