Bradford is dressed in green

Source: Hope Not Hate

Bradford’s Women for Peace has begun the weekend of protests against the English Defence League presence by dressing the city centre in lime green ribbons and banners. “Given the pain and violence that was inflicted on the city almost a decade ago, as women we are standing firm against right-wing extremism and any attempts to sow seeds of discord among Bradford residents,” Wahida Shaffi told the Telegraph & Argus.

Forty women sang songs and handed out ribbons to passers-by and virtually every lamppost, fence and railing in the city centre is adorned with green material.

Bradford is standing together and rejecting, in a positive manner, the race haters of the EDL.
