NOT SO JOLLY IN ENGLAND!!!!!!!
Not
a chance. A planned march to Woolwich tomorrow (June 29) on Armed
Forces Day, by the English Defence League (the event to which Pamela
Geller and Robert Spencer have been denied entry into the UK) has been
banned by police – but its leader, Tommy Robinson, has vowed to visit
anyway.

The group had planned to end an Armed Forces Day march – billed as a
charity walk - in Woolwich where British soldier Lee Rigby was killed
in May. But the police have announced new conditions imposed on the
event.
A Met spokeswoman said: “Yesterday,
Thursday, June 27 we advised them of conditions which we have imposed on
the procession and also on the proposed assembly in Woolwich.
“The Section 12 (3) notice under the
Public Order Act 1986 imposes a route on the proposed procession of EDL
members and supporters starting at Hyde Park Corner and ending at Old
Palace Yard.
“The condition has been imposed due to
concerns that the procession may result in serious public disorder and
serious disruption to the life of the community.” They added: “Breach of
the conditions is a criminal offence, and anyone breaching them may
find themselves liable to arrest.”
But EDL leader Tommy Robinson said
this afternoon that he would still turn up with fellow member Kev
Carroll. He tweeted: “We will be laying flowers at Artillery place,
woolwich, se18 4a at 2 pm. If anyone attempts to join me and Kev on our
walk we will be nicked (arrested).”
Earlier this week, two American
anti-Muslim activists who planned to join the event were banned from
entering the UK by the Home Office. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer,
who set up Stop Islamization of America and run the website Jihad Watch,
were blocked because their presence would “not be conducive to the
public good”.
