We and about a hundred or so others had to take cover in Tesco because of gangs of rampaging fascist yobbos with St.Georges crosses shouting violent abuse and throwing things at everybody who were unfortunately got caught up in all of it, most of whom were just casually doing a bit of weekend shopping at the time. With the police just playing cat and mouse with them and looking like they had absolutely no idea of how to cope, before the EDL turned their drunken anger on the police.<br /><br />And then, quite unbelievably Sharon Rowe (police official of WMP) had the gall to go on TV and say they (police) handled the situation 'extremely well'. <br /><br />When will the police realise the English defence League are NOT (unlike the guys presently in St Pauls churchyard, or the Parliament Square peace camp) a democratic legitimate protest lobby group but a 'hooligan firm' with overtly dangerous intentions to our society.

Here w...Not what we want so soon after the riots. <br /><br />Here we have the benefit of hindsight. The infamous photo of the Nazi saluting EDL was taken at their last visit to town. Shoppers were genuinely scared and the police, as they did with great aplomb during the August riots FAILED to protect the people who pay their wages.<br /><br />Not to mention Yaxley Lennon's pledge not to descend on our city again after last time. Bet he's forgotten saying that but we Brummies certainly haven't.B31 Antifascistnoreply@blogger.com
