Here I am.
There is no proof at all that it was EDL, no chants, no EDL clothing. The video it's self is very strange, first we have the very loud sharp sound of cracking glass, just when the camera is turned on. then we have a group of people running into the place, only to disapear a second or so later, then the camera has the sound of crying babies and a police man asking for calm.
The video is a bit weird.
I have watched this video many times and other than the breaking glass I don't see anyone actually attacked.
Then the same camera man is filming the muslims defending their mosque from an imagenary attack from the EDL. Notice that the guy in the black and white jumper appears later on and the camera man is following him.
Just because the guy with the camera says it is EDL, that does not mean that it is, could have been local youth, could have been people who came to the demo for the wrong reasons, could have been UAF, there is nothing in the video to say who it was.
The same day there was a report by Sky that EDL had attacked their OB van and it turned out that it was UAF, the police on the same day twittered that the rumour of an attack on a mosque was untrue.
On the same day police twitted that rumours that a muslim girl had been raped by EDL was untrue.
My own view is that this is all anti EDL propaganda.
It worked to didn't it, about 700 turned out for a fight, including the MDL.
Arthur.
I should imagine the person who was filming it ran into the back with the others,hence the reason for a break in the footage.As far as I am aware no one was hurt in the incident but that still isn't an excuse for such thuggish behaviour.I suppose we will find out the truth when the matter comes to court.
On that same day we held a flash demo in Market Harborough, about 500 hundred EDL.
Why? Market Harborough is a mainly white market town and hardly any Muslims live there.I should imagine the residents saw you as a bunch of eccentrics and humoured you.
