English Defence League scrap Walsall protest, plan new Birmingham march
The English Defence League has dropped its plans to demonstrate against a mosque in a Midland town The Birmingham Mail reports.
The controversial group had arranged to march through Walsall on June 19 to oppose proposals to convert a disused warehouse into an Islamic place of worship.
The scheme, put forward by the town’s Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, has been rejected.
The group is currently appealing against the decision.
And EDL spokesman Steve Simmons said their action had been “postponed” for “research to be carried out into the area’s Muslim population”. But he warned that a planned protest in July against mosque plans in Dudley was still going ahead. And he added that the group was also looking at returning to Birmingham with a protest in Alum Rock “sometime in the summer”. Read more

i lived and worked in Alum Rock near Shaw Hill School (which i went to when i was a kid)for over 40 years, but 5 years ago moved out,enough was enough.
i can remember in the mid 80s the skin heads from Naseby School going down Alum Rock road and having a friendly chat with out asian friends and in the 80s to the late 90s someone painted British Movement and National Front every where as well as putting stickers up all down Alum Rock Road and the area.
If that person tried now they would get killed.
I feel sorry for the white people i left behind because they are treated second class in that area, the youth have no respect for none muslim women, tell the truth they got no respect for any white person in the area.
