Manchester update

It appears that Greater Manchester Police have agreed to allow the EDL to gather in Piccadilly Gardens at 5pm on Saturday 10 October. There will be speeches, a two-minute silence and the singing of the National Anthem.
However, the police also appear willing to allow the EDL supporters to gather in a nearby pub from midday onwards – five hours before their protest.
Surely one of the lessons of Birmingham was the disastrous policy of allowing the football hooligans several hours to drink before they took to the streets.

Hope all of Manchester's large LGBT's, of which the city is famous for the world over as a gay destination joins the counter protest. The far right are just as much anti-gay as they are anti Muslim, it should be noted.
