The EDL have announced their plans for Walthamstow, East London, this Saturday. Just as a reminder, here's a photo of the EDL showing their true colours in Newcastle - National Front colours!

The EDL have announced their plans for Walthamstow, East London, this Saturday. They say they'll be assembling in 3 pubs around Kings Cross, Central London, between 11am and 1pm, being escorted via Kings Cross station onto trains which will take them to Blackhorse Rd tube to arrive around 1.30pm, then marching for approx 15 minutes from Blackhorse Rd tube to Waltham Forest Town Hall, finally leaving Walthamstow around 4pm. Just as a reminder, here's a photo of the EDL showing their true colours in Newcastle - National Front colours!

Counter-protestors are advised not to bunch-up too much. Spread-out to avoid police kettling (like in Brighton). UAF have asked people to assemble near Walthamstow Central from 11am. Other anti-fascists are respectfully reminded that not everyone is young, fit or brave enough to consider militant actions, and that old folks and parents with prams etc have a right to oppose the EDL too - there's room for everyone. The EDL should be fairly well pissed-up by the time they hit Walthamstow so hopefully they won't much help in terms of making total twats of themselves

"WALTHAMSTOW DEMO DETAILS

The police liasion is complete , and we are pleased to announce the details for the EDL National Demo in Walthamstow 01/09/12. For your safety , and to make the day a success please use the official muster point. The E17 area is likely to be "lively" , and there are plenty of local youths making threats. TRAVEL TOGETHER , STAY TOGETHER AND LEAVE TOGETHER !

Muster Point ....Kings Cross Stn.

1100hrs at Kings Cross Station , London, N1 9AP. We are being allowed to use three pubs. You will be met by stewards , and directed to the "refreshment areas". Coaches will be directed to parking near the demo site.

1200hrs there will be a briefing for all Stewards outside one of the pubs tbc

1300hrs we will be escorted to Kings Cross Station to board trains to the March Point. Do not miss these trains , or you will miss the march and possibly the demo !! A steward will be in every pub , to make sure you leave in time to catch the trains. You may be required to buy a ticket..please make sure you have an extra £4.00 to do so.

After we exit the trains (about 1330hrs) , we will form up for a 15 minute march to the demo point. Bring your flags , and singing voices.
