I don’t often do EDM’s. I think this is in fact my second in four years.

I have sent the following email out to MPs of all parties. Andrew Mackinlay, the Labour MP for Thurrock has co-signed with me.

Tonight we discover that Jalal Ahmed, one of the protestors works on an ad hoc basis as a baggage handler at Luton Airport. That the group is believed to be an off shoot of Al Muhajiroun, the banned organisation founded by Omar Bakri Muhammad.

My email and EDM;

Dear Colleague,

I would be grateful if you could consider adding your signature to the following EDM, number 1080.

Royal Anglian Regiment Home-Coming Parade Demonstration in Luton

That this House;

Condemns the actions of Islamist extremeists at the home coming of the Royal Anglian regiment in Luton. Believes that it would have been appropriate for the antagonists and the offensive placards to have been removed from the scene of the parade, on the basis that the intention was to incite public disorder, before the parade began.

Hopes the Luton Police Commander shares his experience of the event with Commanders at Watford, Bolton and other towns about to host similar parades. Acknowledges the dismay of the wider peaceful law-abiding Muslim community towards the extremists.
