LeMaquis Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 There was the odd one in the background possibly looking for trouble, but the main body and the vast majority of onlookers were not. However the other demo by the UAF, seemed more aggressive, might have been the weed smell or the jihadist flag, but IMO it was the anger in the faces. Still only a snapshot. The EDL are the ones though who tend to get nicked at these demos, such as at Walthamstow when they were all nicked apart from the leaders who left early. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QTQWjv_0ZY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotone Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I cant find any videos for the UAF demo so to be fair its not possible to comment,apart from the Jihad flag which someone mentioned was being displayed I also have heard no negative comments on that demo,I am unsure about the meaning of the jihad flag used here ,is there any negative or indeed positive reason for it ? Strange that, I did search to, for balance but found nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Why is that do you you think? In Walthamstow the EDL were originally due to march between the Olympics and Paralympics but then changed the date of the march so that it would be during the Paralympics, hoping the police would be stretched. It didn't work and the coppers got revenge. And because the EDL tend to attack the coppers in a way the UAF don't; http://edlnews.co.uk/index.php/latest-news/latest-news/854-video-proves-english-defence-league-attacked-police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are terrified of getting done for racism the other way round! That's why they only took nearly 20 years to get Stephen Lawrence's killers. The EDL is dying by the way. It's failed to appeal to more than a few thousand far right drunks and is going to be turned into a political party so that Tommy Robinson can try to become a MEP. http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/news/article/2449/english-defence-league-to-become-political-party-and-stand-candidates-in-european-ele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
