EDL mayhem in Blackburn tomorrow

[lindsay ormerod]

Best avoid Blackburn at all costs tomorrow, I've just come out of work and they are boarding up shops and all the benches and bollards around Sudell Cross/ Preston New Road have been removed. The council taxpayer of Blackburn will no doubt be paying for the removal and replacement !

Rascism at it's very worst with rent-a- mobs descending from all over the country, and the shops suffering on one of the busiest days of the year.
It's a sad world.

It said in the LT that that numbers were limited to 3000 for the EDL and an opposition group, just wonder how the hell are they going to make that happen, not a snowball in hells chance

That's 3000 each, so 6000 folk making a very big, expensive mess. Great.
maybe it's ticket only and thats how they managing it...

This will cost a fortune in an area already plagued by government cuts. It is high time the government banned these marches or gave councils, local businesses and the police compensation for the mess.

thing is,can local councils refuse permission fer these things? i thought they could.

[Bagpuss]

The trouble if it starts will not come from the EDL, it will be the UAF who we saw in London hijacking the demo against government cuts and those peaceful members of the muslim community who we've all seen burning the poppies, please research before condemning, thank you.

Well said lad

Let's hope there is a complete news blackout on this sad, silly little march, and the sadder, sillier little protest against it. It is a complete and utter irrelevance in the wider political debate.

The organisers need to learn to grow up a bit.

For once the LT were just printing a statement from the police, but as I said there isn't a snow balls chance of it happening

A news blackout is the only way to rid ourselves of these cretins, they are only fuelled by publicity, if there is none they shrivel and die
