I have been on few anti EDL demos, and that was the most able mob I have seen of them.
I know a few anti fascists who tried to confront the EDL and got chased off by them.
I don't think we will see some of those anti fascists on an anti EDL demo again, some anti fascists were given a bad beating of the EDL.

Sure there were incidents of greater violence, but I don't think it's helpful to treat EDL as a homogenous mass of streetfighters. They were not. We shouldn't be so afraid of them as people, rather be afraid of what it means in general to have racists and misguided patriots able to roam on our streets without anyone else apart from a few hundred organised anti-fascists and local people prepared stop them. Most people seemed content to wave placards, straightjacketed by the likes of UAF who seem more about making a statement for the media that will only really give future political gain for the trotskyist party that dominate them.
More people of Nottingham and the other towns where EDL have held events or will hold future events, need to think what role they could play in the future so these events are not continued. It's good at least that not everyone heeded the Council, Police and Imams call to stay at home (or continue Saturday shopping as usual).
Opposition to EDL must widen

[c'mon, the previous comment is an obvious troll!]
and "bad beating of the EDL" suggests someone whose first language isn't English.

However, I was impressed that many anti-fascists were prepared to stand up to the EDL intimidation, and often take them on in scuffles; there were some brave lads fighting back well in one nasty ruck outside a pub (started by a beer glass attack by the EDL), where one antifascist briefly got kicked unconscious (he's fine now) - and believe me, the EDL didn't get away without feeling they'd been in a fight after they scurried back into the pub. There were also groups of antifascists challenging the EDL as they strutted round the streets in small groups earlier in the day. I was also impressed at the attitude of the youth (often very young!), both asian and white together, who were running around later in the day looking to resist the EDL rampage, and getting some blows in. They weren't intimidated by the racists.
My point, however, is this : it's all very well getting in to some macho discussion of who were the best fighters on the day, but that doesn't achieve much - and, whatever the EDL may or may not be, we can't deny they're generally good at fighting. What matters isn't how "hard" you are, it's about your attitude, courage, strategy, solidarity and politics. I think anti-fascists can be pleased that in the face of an intimidating fascist provocation, we stood up to them and didn't let them "own" the city centre as they said they would.
