Counter-Demonstration in Manchester back in October against the EDL

The English Defence League (EDL), a far-right group with links to the British National Party (BNP) and other neo-fascist organisations,have disgraced the streets of Brittan’s biggest cities in recent times claiming to be protesting simply against ‘Islamic extremism’. However, their previous demonstrations have contradicted this, all have involved racial violence, racist chants and fascist salutes.

Back on October 10 I joined the anti-fascists protesters in Manchester’s Piccadilly gardens. The gardens had been the chosen location for the EDL’S demonstrations.However the gardens were held throughout the day by the anti fascist protesters disrupting the EDL.
