Personally...and on the basis of no concrete information 
whatsoever...I doubt this threat originates with EDL.

I feel it has probably come from a crank. Either a crank has called 
the police, or a crank within the police has called the 
university...or a crank at the university has leaned on the union.

I don't know enough about the internal relations at the university to 
know whether having a meeting which they have asked us not to have 
will have repercussions which we would wish to avoid  - I'll take 
advice from people in Leeds about that.

At least if we have it somewhere else because of flakiness at the uni 
we have a small story to run...
