Around a dozen blokes and one woman entered a meeting of the Sheffield Indymedia collective saying we are the EDL, we are not racists. They were told to leave and a scuffle broke out as they left and tried to snatch the phone that took the attached video.

Here are some stills taken from the film, just to make it easier for people to see them.

The guy in the light jacket is the one taking photos. The one in the camo jacket tries to shield his face from the video.

I'm assuming these are all the EDL people. If not, please remove them.
