Yesterday I attended Tavistock Square with March for England to lay flowers in memory of the 52 Londoners murdered on 7th July 2005.
I later visited Hyde Park and stopped at the national memorial to the victims. Flowers laid on the exact anniversary two days earlier were still fresh. Those laid by London Division and Berkshire Division are in the top right corner.
15 members of March for England later went on to Whitechapel where Hizb ut Tahrir were holding a conference to on their aim of establishing the Caliphate. Some of the March for England party decided to visit the area to observe. Others from the EDL were also in attendance in the area. To be blunt what Hizb ut Tahir are working for is the overthrow of our democratic government and their actions go beyond opinion and free speech into treason. They should be banned but David Cameron, for all his red roses at Hyde park, has renaged on his promise to do so.
I am told that the police were present in large numbers. They entered the stations and public houses and anybody thought to be attending to protest against the conference was arrested ‘for the prevention of a crime’ and taken by van to police stations on the outskirts of London, either Sutton in Surrey and Bromley in Kent where most were released without charge. Their journeys home were thus made extremely difficult. The only people allowed to protest were a group of about 10 people led by Peter Tatchell who held a posters saying "Hizb ut tahir = clerical fascism. No to Hibz, EDL and BNP". I don't think he quite understands.
The police and the authorities are obviously terrified about the EDL’s demonstration in Tower Hamlets at the end of the summer; today they have protected the promulgation of treason.
