No EDL trouble

FEARS that supporters of right-wing group the EDL might protest again in Harborough came to nothing at the weekend.
Police have praised the co-operation of businesses and other organisations in Harborough after a bus load of supporters stayed for only a short time in the town.
The Sugar Loaf closed its doors and other pubs reduced their hours of serving alcohol.
Insp Paul McKinder gave praise to Highways as well as Harborough District Council for allowing them to make use of its CCTV cameras and the Harborough Air Cadets for allowing use of their car park and giving refreshments to police officers.

Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 11:44 PMThe EDL are mad up of a mixture of races and religions, they also have an LGBT division. How on earth can they be described as "right-wing?" They aren't far right, but they're not far wrong. Please stop using this silly type of propaganda.
