And on a positive note, the JRF have just produced a film about the city of bradford's response to the EDL rally. it can be seen heer http://www.jrf.org.uk/work/work-area/bradford-programme/when-hate-came-to-town and it shows that a lot of good things came out of what could have been an ugly situation.
