The following is a statement from the English Defence League:
To all EDL members
As you may well already be aware members of the English Defence League have been arrested and charged for relatively “minor” offences.
Members who are prepared to stand up against the rising tide of Islamofascism and its adherents are being “hung out to dry” by our weak politicians in the hope they can salvage much needed Muslim votes in order to retain governance. This is just another ploy to use the “Muslim block vote” so other parties are denied potential seats in the houses of parliament.
It has come to our attention that some EDL members who are currently serving short prison time are actually being targeted by imprisoned radicalised jihadist gangs, consequently they have been beaten and will continue to get beaten as prison authorities “turn a blind eye” to events unfolding under their very roof!
We the English Defence League condemn such apathy, such wanton ignorance or, more likely, deliberate targeting of EDL members!
