The hacktivists are determined to disrupt the far-right group's activities

After the incident in which an extremist butchered a British soldier last week, the far-right street protest movement known as the English Defence League started a series of protests against Muslims. 

In response to these protests, members of the hacktivist movement Anonymous have issued a statement threatening to retaliate against the group.

“[You] have used this as another excuse to further spread your campaign of hate, bigotry, and misinformation. Under the guise of national pride you have instigated crimes against the innocent and incited the subjugation of Muslims,” the hackers stated.

“We will not allow your injustices, your lies, and your stupidity, to further radicalize our youth into fearing and despising their fellow man.”

Anonymous threatens to expose the English Defence League’s “falsities” to the British public. The hacktivits are aware that they can’t accomplish their goals over night, but they’re confident they will be “victorious.”
