The EDL, which has held demonstrations in towns and cities across the country over the past 12 months, had predicted that thousands of its supporters would turn out in Bradford for what was dubbed "the big one", but police said there were around 700 people.

Earlier in the afternoon coachloads of EDL activists had chanted "Allah, Allah who the **** is Allah?" and "Muslim bombers off our streets". One of the coach drivers said: "I didn't expect a job like this when I came to work this morning. We're a five-star firm. We don't usually take scumbags like these."

Thousands of anti-racists and local residents joined counter-protests and events organised around the city. Mohammed Khan, 29, said: "We want to show the people of the UK that Bradford is a united and peaceful place, where Asians, white people – everyone – gets along. Nobody here wants these people. They are just trying to divide this city and provoke trouble."

Love the dividing bit when it could not be more divided.

Thank God there's some prepared to get off their arses and protest. Never mind if they may seem to be rather naive. If I was not an over sixty with health problems I'd have been there too - just as I was at the Stoke on Trent demo.

Leave them alone, they're worth a hundred of us armchair warriors that post on forums like this.

No one on here can even be bothered to turn out to remember their war dead let alone actually turn up to any demos

The police usually turn many EDL supporters back before they get to the demo to help the media play their popularity down.

Hardly the point David.

Have you noticed that both Vortex and Wowbanger are not up on here complaining of my cut and paste, as per usual? They must have been banned.

Did you complain to the forum administrators in order to get them banned?

If he did it didn't work.
