Rejected petition Ban The EDL

More details

We the British people wish to live in a society which is tolerant and embraces multiculturalism, diversity and people of all faiths and of none.

The British Government should ban the EDL as they are an organisation which peddles hatred and has no place in a civilised society. Their ideology gives rise to hatred, intolerance, harassment, threats, discrimination and emboldens extremism.
