Steve Eddowes

Steve "Edders" Eddowes is chairman[1] of the English Defence League (EDL). He replaced Tim Ablitt in the position in early 2014. Eddowes was formerly head of security for the EDL.[2] He was also regional organiser for the West Midlands.

In March 2015, Eddowes was present at a meeting with former EDL leader Tommy Robinson at which prospective Conservative Party candidate Afzal Amin attempted to get the EDL to announce a march against the building of a new mosque in Dudley in order that Amin could take the credit for having it called off.[3][4][5]
