EDL Division Leader Convicted For Assault

Hope Not Hate has reported that a leading member of the English Defence League (EDL) has been found guilty of assault and resisting arrest.

Gary Milsom, the EDL organiser for the EDL Thanet Division appeared at Thanet Magistrates Court charged with common assault and resisting a police officer following an incident in 2012.

He was found guilty and has handed 120 hours community service along with a £150 fine.

Operating under the pseudonym “Pat Riot”, Milsom organised the harassment of worshippers at a mosque in his home town of Margate last September. Reportedly, he also attended an EDL meeting in Margate in which people said “dirty P*kis” along with “dirty Muslims”.

The EDL Thanet Division Facebook Page has various pictures of this man.
