EDL Exploit Young Epileptic Child

A bad case of using child imagery to rouse tension and hatred has been a frequent attempt by some parts of the EDL.

One severe case is when a supporter hiding behind a Facebook Page created a fake picture claiming the UAF (United Against Fascism) hurt a young child.


Later, more supporters circulated it round believing it was real.

Everyone fell for it.

But the photo was copied from somewhere else!

We now know that the child used in the photo was first used in a epileptic site based in the U.S! This picture was copied and then used to manipulate EDL supporters.
