UAF weren't there as far as we can tell. They usually only turn up when there is a anti-Muslim march and this doesn't seem to have been that. They probably didn't expect problems from EDL on Armistice Day.

According to The Guardian their intended target were the protesters at St Pauls. Quite why the EDL would have a problem with the Occupy movement isn't clearly explained. Sounds like they have more in common with the Islamic regimes they profess to oppose than they thought.

I would have thought this colder weather would have deterred a few..Not encourage them..Maybe they thought a ruck would warm them up..;)

Huffington Post (who probably got it from The Guardian) as well while PA reports 57. Seems like a mistake from The Guardian.

EDIT: PA now saying 156. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...e50aab69933612

that is good, first muslims against crusades being banned, now this, now ban the EDL, BNP and UKIP

Either way, a good afternoon's work from the boys in blue. I wonder if they'll need to replace all the police station carpets, what with all the knuckle-dragging they've been subjected to today.

Why UKIP ???

Metropolitan Police confirm more than 170 members of English Defence League arrested in order to "prevent a breach of the peace"

Hmm, so earlier this week we had EDL supporters scaling the FIFA head quarters in protest against England not being allowed to have poppies embroidered on their shirts, and now we have them staging a protest on Armistice Day?

Full marks for consistency...

l am not a fan of UKIP Alan but they are not a extremist party and they have every right to march if they want to.

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

As long as they don't ban all and any protest.

...just the ones that are not to HMG's liking

Re: Police Arrest 57 EDL Supporters In London
 

I don't really have a problem with the EDL protesting but they should do so in liaison with the police and in the morning/early afternoon in order to avoid them all being drunk before it kicks off. They also need to weed out those looking for violence.
