RMT Vows To Oppose EDL March Through Walthamstow And Builds On Anti-Racism Campaigning
Submitted by Admin on 3 October, 2012 - 02:17A letter from London Transport Regional Council's Secretary John Reid, to all members
The racist EDL is threatening to march through the streets of Walthamstow on Saturday the 27th October. They were stopped in September and we vow to stop them again in October and whenever they rear their ugly heads.
The EDL claims to be non-racist and non-fascist, yet their numbers are made up of many of the same people who have previously been in the ranks of fascist and racist organisations.
