I'm presuming that both groups were there in a legitimate protest since both groups were there.

That's exactly what both groups are - extremists under the guise of anti-fascism, and thugs pretending to be patriotic. Both are really stupid!

The UAF only turn out when they notice that the EDL has advised the authorities of their planned demo. The UAF ones are rarely, if ever, sanctioned protests.

Sadly, I think that there is only going to be one way that this will come to a head, and it will more than likely be a fully fledged riot, akin to the one staged by idiots from both sides in Bradford a few years back.

And someone will get killed. Of that I have no doubt.

This kind of abject and moronic thuggery feeds off itself. Neither side there seems to be interested in talking, discussing and resolving differences. They just set up shop, spout their rhetoric and instantly appear to want to kick the crap out of anyone who doesn't see it their way.

In the middle of it are the Police, who will no doubt be called "Nazi bastards" when they try and actually impose the law of the land with regard to peaceful nonviolent assembly, and innocent bystanders and businesses who will have to pick up insurance costs when - invariably cars, houses and shops get ransacked and set on fire. Communities will splinter and take years and years to heal themselves again afterwards.

In the meantime the politicos will cry out that more laws and regulations are needed to control public order, and the rest of the country will find itself much worse off in the long term.

Neither side in this "battle" represents anything but crassly moronic posturing - its like no one has learned from Brixton, Toxteth, and the troubles in Northern Ireland.

I don't want to see sections of this country turned into the Shankhill Road. Apparently these fools do, and they're doing their very best to try and achieve it.
