Too bloody right. There were about 20 if that antifascists who were around when EDL broke out. The rest were showing solidarity at the mosque but considering what happened it wasn't very useful. Lots of the anti fascists weren't up for fighting (age etc) and the UAF were vanished. The police were useless. Literally saw about 3 guys and myself willing to fight, but I mean we were so outnumbered there was no point except to get the others beaten up. Couldn't keep up physically with the EDL and youth running. I went to help someone being chased by about 20 people but I looked behind me and the only ones following were EDL. More actual antifa next time please? And not just protecting social centres.

The EDL is not racist or fascist! It has got many supporters none white supporters. Further more it has now got nearly 35,000 supporters on facebook see this:  http://www.facebook.com/English.Defence.League.EDL?ref=ts
A racist and fascist group would never get that many supporters. Stop spreading lies about the EDL. They are against Islamic extremism and nothing more.
