MPs expressed concern tonight after it emerged that far-right activists are planning to step up their provocative street campaign by targeting some of the UK's highest-profile Muslim communities, raising fears of widespread unrest this summer.

Undercover footage shot by the Guardian reveals the English Defence League, which has staged a number of violent protests in towns and cities across the country this year, is planning to "hit" Bradford and the London borough of Tower Hamlets as it intensifies its street protests.

The English Defence League, which started in Luton last year, has become the most significant far-right street movement in the UK since the National Front in the 1970s. A Guardian investigation has identified a number of known rightwing extremists who are taking an interest in the movement – from convicted football hooligans to members of violent rightwing splinter groups.

Thousands of people have attended its protests – many of which have descended into violence and racist and Islamophobic chanting. Supporters are split into "divisions" spread across the UK and as many as 3,000 people are attracted to its protests.



All very nasty!

When they marched in Newcastle upon Tyne, some of them gave Nazi salutes which seems to detract from their message of "not being racist" and just opposing "Islamofascism."

the "Stop Islamification of Europe" now has the arch bigot Pamela Geller as President of its American branch.

The BNP may try and pretend they have nothing to do with them but their support bases is one and the same. Racist low lives.
