Yet another protest, yet more violence forecast.
Although two opposing groups the Unite Against Fascism (UAF) and the English Defence League (EDL) have both organised rallies in Dudley, it seems that it is the EDL who are the "Bad Boys" even though in the past it has been UAF who have been more violent.
/// Police said it did not welcome the EDL protest in Dudley, but was committed to making sure it was peaceful.///
No mention of course that the police did not welcome the UAF also.
/// Seventy-four people were arrested during a protest in Bolton in March and police made several arrests at a protest in Stoke-on-Trent in January.///
No mention that the majority of the arrests were members of the UAF.

The EDL do not have a big fan base in Dudley. They are only there to cause as much offence to the local population as possible.
The EDL's fan base is in Swansea, Portsmouth and Luton, so why don't they organise their rallies there. Instead, they target Dudley, Blackburn and Bolton, places with a high indigenous non white population, where the EDL have nil support. There only aim is to provoke the local population, who respond with violence against the EDL.
Likewise, if those daft muslims had protested in Wooton Basset, then I suspect they would have been attacked and they could claim to be the victims.
The EDL are not victims. The police and the media are not biased against them. They are just a load of thugs out on an away day.
