Running Rings Round the EDL

LOL fash | 07.12.2009 21:25 | Anti-racism

EDL trolls may be boasting about their exploits on Saturday but the truth is they Nottingham was more than they could cope with.

First they showed themselves up for the rabid mob of thugs they are in front of the national media. Here's a hint lads: when you're in front of the cameras try to behave yourselves. We don't like people who kick dogs in Ingerland.

The majority of EDL were penned in and under tight police control all day. The cops forced them to go home early. Most were escorted to the trains and coaches before 5pm.

The few small groups who avoided the pen to roam around the town met with serious resistance from local youths who gave them the runaround. A lot of the EDL's 'hardened warriors' proved to be a lot less hard after a few hundred yards of running and received some rough justice. Drinking all day may make you feel like a real man but you wont feel so great wheezing at the top of the hill whilst the local kids give you a slap.

Most of the EDL didn't really look up to a fight as they staggered around the streets thrusting their crotches out and flailing wildly.

My final tip to the defenders of English virtue - if your trying to hijack a bit of local history for propaganda, do your best to avoid pissing all over it. No wonder you were happy to let the old bill lead you home. Your sheep pen must have stunk.
