The group unveiled dates for a series of marches on Facebook with protestors planning to come to the East End on 24th August.
The East London Advertiser reported that Poplar and Limehouse MP Jim Fitzpatrick has spoke out about the proposed march.
“All the EDL want to do is start trouble and divide a community which is built upon tolerance and respect for each other,” he said. “We’ll show them once again that their brand of hate has no place in a borough which is united and not divided. I’ll be doing all I can in the coming months to ensure this march doesn’t go ahead.”
The Mayor of Tower Hamlets has previously challenged the Home Office to ban marches, insisted he would be doing so again.
“I will be speaking with the police to discuss preventing this latest attempt”, he said. “The EDL seek to stir up trouble and there is absolutely no place for their divisive agenda here. Our diverse communities have always united against such division”.
In a previous Tower Hamlets demo on 3rd September 2011, EDL leader Tommy Robinson threatened the whole British Muslim community.
They'll be forced into cages like rats as usual. They'll have a drink, chant some brainless E E E EDL, and then bus home with some arrests.
