Two people in EDL St George masks and Union Jack at start of English Nationalist Alliance March, London, 31/07/2010
The English Nationalist Alliance was "founded in May 2010 by Bill Baker, Michael Johnson and Lynn Corrigan and supported by 800 marchers at the May Allaince protest in London." It includes the English Defence League, Shieldwall, The British Society for Freedom of Speech, Christians for Democracy, England United (Weiran Ce Angelcynn), England St George, Acacia Freedom Fighters, Sikhs against Shariah, English Jewish League and Parents Against Shariah. Most of the 150 people on the march seemed to be EDL members, but some belong to a number of different groups. The three subjects raised in their letter were an end to any idea of Sharia law being implemented in the UK, a referendum on the EU and a referendum on an English Parliament. Although the ENA claims not to be racist and attempts to distance itself from groups such as the BNP, significant numbers in groups such as the EDL are known to be or have been members of racist groups, and racist or arguably racist slogans and songs are often heard at EDL events.
