Midlands TUC condemns English Defence League presence in Dudley
The Midlands TUC today (Saturday) issued a statement condemning the English Defence League for holding a rally in the centre of Dudley.
Cheryl Pidgeon, Regional Secretary of the Midlands TUC said, “We know that this group includes football hooligans and racist thugs who are intent on causing trouble. Their claim to be protesting against radical Islam has been shown to be a fraud, as their behaviour in other cities has shown, where they quickly descend into exposing their hate for all Muslims.
The timing is designed to cause maximum disruption to the people of Dudley and will place severe demands on police resources today. The Midlands TUC rejects the EDL message of hate, and would urge the people of Dudley to do the same leaving the EDL in no doubt that their shameful politics are not welcome in the midlands.”
