This does not mean the fight is over as the EDL are marching in Birmingham on 29th October. They also still have a strong political …

Our main purpose is to promote equality on campus (luckily, there isn't a lot of inequality at Keele) so we are free to pursue other projects. We have meetings every fortnight with vibrant discussions of relevant topics.
