EDL Stoke

Filkaler | 24.01.2010 00:16 | Birmingham

The English Defence League (EDL) clashed with police as anti-Muslim protest turned violent.






Over 1000 members of the right-wing group started drinking from 11am ahead of Saturday's march in Stoke. There were scuffles with police when members of the EDL tried to break a cordon preventing them from clashing with members of anti-fascist groups. They sang the National Anthem and Rule Britannia, while others waved St George and Union flags while shouting abusive chants against Muslims. After the main demonstration a group of around 500 EDL marched thought a predominantly Asian area damaging shops and cars. Stoke on Trent - 23.01.10.
