The English Defence League clashed, today, with riot police, following a 'static' protest in London. Fire-crackers and bottles were thrown at the police by the right-wing nuts as Stephen Lennon, their founder, bragged about having broken the conditions of his bail to a 1000-strong crowd.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, had prohibited the EDL from marching through Tower Hamlets and four other London boroughs, earlier this week, following August's Riots. This was the first such ban, called by Scotland Yard, since the Brixton Riots, nearly 30 years ago.
Ironically, the far-right group's protest sparked a counter-protest by the anti-fascist group, Unite Against Fascism, which outnumbered the EDL's rally.
Now that the Riots have happened, we can expect a lot of attention heading towards the Far Right. The Riots have clearly fuelled the ignorance and bigotry of people and the English Defence League now gets a lot more publicity because people enjoy its message. TWOL believes the EDL are a problem - NOT the main problem though.
The main problems are liberal policing, ridiculous human rights laws and too much socialism; the result of which are the rioters. Once that is sorted, the EDL problem will take care of itself.
