Here's why.
Quote:
The EDL said it originally planned to stop members of the Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) group from burning poppies near the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington.
MAC staged an anti-Armistice Day protest last year and said it was planning to do the same again this year.
But on Thursday, Home Secretary Theresa May announced MAC had been banned, and the organisation said it had disbanded. The EDL then urged its members to gather peacefully in Westminster on Friday "to remember the sacrifice of the fallen".
