In the latest twist, however, fighter Small – dropped by promoter Frank Warren on account of his involvement with MAC – has become the quarry of a furious potential lynch mob in the form of the English Defence League.

Typically for the EDL, their members and supporters have been openly vocal in their condemnation of Small…. and also in their use of violent, threatening and aggressive language towards the disgraced ex-champ.

Using their usual Facebook platform, the EDL have been issuing threats to Mr Small for the past few days in a variety of groups created especially for that purpose, with names like Name & Shame Boxer Anthony Small for Protesting Against British Troops.

Sadly for the EDL, no further shame has been brought to Small than has already been brought by how own behaviour. As usual, the over-exuberance of the EDL’s aggression has served only to fuel the public image of violent thugs, hate-breeds, and instigators, with bizarre cries of, ‘treason’, and the very obvious singling out of an individual for a good old-fashioned lynching.

Among those passionately inciting violence against Small was ‘Leon Britain’ AKA Leon McCreery, one of the two awaiting trial for burglary and incitement in Dudley earlier this year. Warped Mc Creery, know for his lack of self control, proudly claims he was involved in ‘wrecking this jihadist pitiful career’ (sic).

Some of the nastiest comments can be viewed below; please be aware, they contain very strong language. Click the pictures to enlarge them.

Frank Warren said of Small and MAC, “I don’t want anything to do with him. What he’s doing just fans the flames”.

Small is believed to have been picked up by Ricky Hatton’s promotions company.

Robinson put out a direct call  to his supporters a little under an hour ago:

The social networking sites are abuzz with discussion of this ridiculous publicity stunt, and there is talk of EDL members scouring shops for bacon, blood and pig meat even at this late hour.

Nobody seems to have told them yet that calls to prayer take place inside the mosque.

‘Hundreds’ of demonstrators are alleged to be on the way to the site, as are riot police.

Quite how this disgusting display of hostility constitutes ‘opposing extreme Islam’ is lost on us….

Pictures have emerged from various sources showing members boasting about how the EDL plan to be there for a week. The event appears to have been organised ‘behind the scenes’ without the knowledge of grass-roots members.

Updates, as always, will follow.
