Around a couple of hundred EDL supporters joined about a thousand people in Barking town centre to welcome home troops from Afghanistan. About a hundred muslim counter demonstrators also turned up to protest against the troops home coming parade. Protesters from both side briefly clashed but were driven back by police.

because it was day for the people of dagenham to welcome back soldiers who had just served a tour of duty in afganistan.

regardless of what your opinion is of the war, it was for those men and women.

the radical muslims and edl both wanted to use it for their own agenda.

let those idiots fight it out.
