EDL Leader Quits
October 8, 2013 by staff
EDL Leader Quits, English Defence League leader and founder Tommy Robinson has left the group, saying he has concerns over the “dangers of far-right extremism”.
The EDL organises protests across the UK against “radical Islam”.
Mr Robinson said it was still his aim to “counter Islamist ideology”, although “not with violence but with better, democratic ideas”.
Several senior figures have quit, but an EDL spokesman said the group “will not die because they’re walking away”.
He added that supporters would spend the next few weeks discussing how to proceed.
‘No longer productive’
The EDL, formed in 2009, has organised marches and demonstrations in several cities across the UK, which have seen sometimes violent confrontations with anti-fascism campaigners.
