Birmingham bar to host EDL session
Police force venue to welcome racist thugs before march
A BIRMINGHAM bar where English Defence League (EDL) thugs will drink before their march in the city has told staff that they are entitled to stay at home, it emerged yesterday.
Unite Against Fascism (UAF) issued a statement on Tuesday reporting that Bar Risa has told non-white staff they should not come to work on Saturday.
However a statement issued by Bar Risa management yesterday strongly refuted this claim, stating that staff of all backgrounds were told "that it is totally up to them whether they work or not."
