The leader of the campaign group, and a senior colleague, announce their decision to quit due to 'extremist elements'.English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson has announced he is quitting the organisation.
Mr Robinson, who set up the anti-Islamist group in 2009, said the EDL had becoming increasingly influenced by extreme elements that did not represent what he stood for.

English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson is quitting the far-right group, an anti-extremism think tank has claimed.
Quilliam said in a statement that it was 'proud' to reveal that Robinson and his EDL co-founder Kevin Carroll had decided to leave the organisation.
The statement added: 'Having set up the EDL, infamous for its street protests, in 2009, they wish to exit this group, because they feel they can no longer keep extremist elements at bay.'
In a statement released through Quilliam - which claimed to have facilitated the pair's departure - Mr Robinson said he acknowledged 'the dangers of far-right extremism'.
He said: 'I have been considering this move for a long time because I recognise that, though street demonstrations have brought us to this point, they are no longer productive.
'I acknowledge the dangers of far-right extremism and the ongoing need to counter Islamist ideology, not with violence but with better, democratic ideas.'
Mr Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - appeared to confirm the news on Twitter, posting a link to the Quilliam statement and telling his followers: 'Hope people listen to my reasons.'
Quilliam said it hopes to encourage 'his critique of Islamism as well as his concern with far-right extremism' and called on his EDL followers as well as leaders of extreme Islamist groups to quit.
