Stella Creasy, Walthamstow's MP (Labour) had the audacity to describe these idiots as far-right activists when talking about the planned hateful riots down here outside an immigration solicitors office. She got called out for it thought, and rightfully so.
As of last night, she's revised her language and has described them as Islamophobic, and to her credit, did comment on the fact that these assholes are trying to provoke mostly young Muslim men and make them out to be the source of the problem.
A little too late though. She released that statement about half an hour before local residents (mostly South Asian and Afro-Carribean) decided to assemble and speak out how they can protect their families, properties, neighbours, mosques and the vulnerable etc. Stella showed up to the gathering and tried to make a point about how she did in fact describe them as being Islamaphobic (less than an hour before lol), perhaps to score brownie points - pun intended cos I am brown.
