Coppers C4 - UAF/EDL Demo policing

[GenevaSaint]

Anyone see the program last night? An interesting insight into how the police marshall demos. A couple of the plod were OTT in how they dealt with the public but in general decent policing.

 

Had to laugh at the comment that the UAF were the sort you'd see at Glastonbury, where as the EDL were football related with links to C18 and the BNP.

 

Although there were 52 arrests for the UAF they were really pathetic offences, saw worse at the end with the hardened EDL trying to fight the police dogs and riot squad but strangely few of those guys got arrested.

 

If that's your typical EDL supporter I'm sorry EDL guys, it's one hell of a racist organisation even if your intention is only to fight back against radical Islam. Take the muppet very early on "no more ****ing stinking mosques" or similar words.

Slightly unrelated but still on the topic of the EDL, I saw an article in the paper the other day that they're going to start encouraging gays, jews, sikhs and hindus to join the EDL in their fight against the muslims.

Wonder how that will go down with the average member?

If people would just ignore these silly minority groups they would soon burn out. However, when the UAF morons turn up to stir the pot they only perpetuate the issue.

 

Anyone who thinks they need to "unite against facism" or form a league to "defend England" is best off ignored.
