Steve Eddowes

Steve "Edders" Eddowes is chairman 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 and its regional organiser for the West Midlands.

In March 2015, Eddowes was present at a meeting with the former EDL leader Tommy Robinson at which a prospective Conservative Party candidate, Afzal Amin, attempted to persuade 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.
