OLDHAM EVENING CHRONICLE, 22Sep09: A group branded as far-right fascists has formed in Oldham sparking fears of a return to racial clashes.
The branch of the English Defence League — recently involved in violent disorder in Birmingham — has been set up by a football hooligan involved in the 2001 Oldham race riots, and already has 50 members.
Equality campaigners fear their emergence could harm the good work done to create community cohesion and have vowed to work even harder to ease tensions.
