Alright folks!
Copied this from my myspace blog... anyone heading along to the march?
"In these "hard economic times", we in the UK are seeing the rise of support for the fascist BNP and must be vigilant in our condemnation of these racists bigots and all they stand for. It seems the SDL (an offshoot of racist thug group the EDL) are organising a march in Edinburgh on Feb 20th. No doubt this will be attended by only a handful of small minded idiots (like the last time in Glasgow), whereas the countermarch being organised by SACC will be a strong and defiant call to arms for all those who oppose minority persecution, racism, fascism and islamaphobia. Please repost the following statement and link to the anti-racist march on your resepective social networking pages Booyah!

"We the undersigned strongly oppose plans by the 'Scottish Defence League' - a group linked to the fascist BNP - to demonstrate in Edinburgh. The SDL is a racist group dedicated to attacking Asian people and Muslims. Islamophobia - bigotry against Muslims - is as unacceptable as any other form of racism. Its aim is to divide us by making scapegoats of one community, just as the far-right did with Jews in the 1930s. We have a simple message for these racist and fascist groups. We will not let you turn the clock back to the 1970s when their thugs could attack black and Asian people with impunity. An injury to one is an injury to all – and their attempts to target and scapegoat Muslims will fail. Today they threaten Muslims, tomorrow it could be Jewish people, Hindus, Sikhs, black people, lesbians & gay men, trade unionists, travellers or Eastern Europeans. There is no place for Nazis, racists or the BNP in Edinburgh’s multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious community. We call on the Leader of Edinburgh City Council and the Police to take action against the SDL/EDL." "
