Growing concerns over the English Defense League (EDL) have been publicly acknowledged through their aggressive rioting, acts of terror towards public property and sheer ignorance towards the mourning town of Southport. Despite their ideology, it is them who pose the biggest threat to our peace and shared ethos of our nation. The EDL's activities are compromising the safety and stability of our country.

The EDL has a notorious reputation for promoting and utilising hate speech while psycho-socially and physically endangering communities across our nation. Their ideologies rooted in division undermine the tenets of peaceful co-existence and social harmony that our country prides itself on.

It is within this context that we call upon the government to take decisive action. This petition urges the government to acknowledge the EDL as a prescribed terrorist organisation. This move is not just a symbolic act. Rather, it is a legal action that bans the functioning and prohibits the membership of such groups.

In order to safeguard our nation, it is critical that we confront groups that threaten our unity and overall wellbeing. By prescribing the EDL, we would limit their ability to spew venomous ideologies and harm our society. Taking this step would reinforce the message that hate and division have no place in our country.

Everyone deserves to live in a society that is safe and accepting of all its members. Thus, by recognizing the destructiveness of the EDL and taking steps to limit their influence, we can work together to better our nation.

I implore you, please sign this petition urging the government to recognize the EDL as a prescribed terrorist organization. Every signature counts in this fight to reclaim our nation's peace and unity.
