Liam Wood, the convicted drug dealer – and also, it turns out, football hooligan – who heads the English Defence League’s LGBT division, had planned to hold a demonstration in Manchester tomorow, including leafleting Canal Street to warn the LGBT community about the threat from “Muslim homophobia”.

Alas, it would appear that the fight against the “Islamafactation of this country”, as Wood describes it, has suffered a setback. The self-proclaimed “gay Tommy Robinson” has bottled it and postponed the protest.
