ENGLISH Defence League leader Stephen Lennon has refused to comment on claims he is set to become the deputy leader of the British Freedom Party.
Anti-fascist campaign group Hope Not Hate made the claim on their website, saying Lennon, who calls himself Tommy Robinson, had planned to announce the move at the forthcoming EDL rally in Luton on May 5.
Hope Not Hate blogger Nick Lowles said: “Stephen Lennon is set to join the far right British Freedom Party (BFP) and immediately become its deputy leader.
“The merging of the EDL into the BFP will change the face of the British far right.”
