I've never been inside a Selfridges before, but I will make an extra point of never going into one in the future now!

'Sometime before 7 September we had word that a small anti-fascist faction would try to kick things off. This group did not take part in any of the planning meetings, although I am sure they would have been allowed a representative on our steering group, but chose to do their own thing. Our attitude was that the police plan was in the best interests .'

Cornwall Division have been putting posters up. The buggers.

MEMBERS of a controversial Islam protest group have confirmed they are attracting support from Cornish people who do not want to see the county “ruined by mosques”.

Posters, stickers and graffiti in support of the English Defence League (EDL), a group dedicated to the eradication of extreme Islamic beliefs, have recently sprung up on the back of road signs in Truro, St Agnes, Scorrier, Towan Cross, Carnon Downs and Lanner.

I was there LR. I would estimate there was around 1,000 in and around Altab Ali Park at 1300, with people coming and going. The AFN/Black Block left at 1300. Shortly after a number of locals left for a service at the Mosque, and members of the local Inter Faith Group also left to stand outside the Mosque in solidarity.
At about 1320 the platform speakers called on us to occupy the Whitechapel Road. I was a bit worried as there seemed to be about only 3-400 left, but we did move into the road. I thought the OB would move in but they didn't.
I guess there must have been an agreement between the organisers and OB to allow this.
I was still worried by the lack of numbers, but after 1345, when the Mosque service finished, hundreds of locals came to join the blockade from the direction of the Mosque, and there was a steady stream of people coming from the Aldgate side, presumably arriving from Aldgate and Aldgate East underground stations.
By the time the EDL arrived at Aldgate I would estimate there was between 4-5,000 people blockading the Whitechapel Road.
Gable's figures might be slightly exaggerated. Doesn't every protest organiser do that? But not by too much. And if the AFN had stayed instead of going off to get kettled and nicked, the total would have been around 5,000.

 

[malatesta32]

that sounds about right TC.
plod had formed a line across the road near the mosque so when everyone occupied the road, they could still be sealed in. AFN had no intention of standing about listening to the speakers (neither did we) so they went off to ambush the march further south (we went for samosas).

It's a few years since I spent much time in Cornwall, but last time I was there I was indeed astounded by how many mosques there were, that all the food was halal, and how you could hardly spot a white face in the street.

how drunk were you?

Not at all, because the sale of alcohol had been banned across the entire county.

Idiocy on this level takes quite some doing but the EDL have managed to leak their own donors list for all to see

krinks, plod had it tight and they managed to kettle a lot of folk. they were ready for it.

Not well. One comment was something like now the English know what its like to be oppressed by a majority.

It's not quite that though is it - the donations page on their website gives the option to either disclose your details or keep them anonymous. The names displayed on their website are the ones who chose not to make an anonymous donation
