The sound of silence

I’m currently sitting in the Bradford Irish Club having a drink with Pat, the chairman of the club, Paul and Ellie. It’s not long before the conversation turns to Saturday. Pat says that he’s been talking to a lot of the local taxi drivers and there’s a unanimous view that trouble has to be avoided at all cost.
“We should just ignore this lot,” says Pat, of the EDL protest. “The best thing that can happen is for everyone to keep away from the city centre and just shun them.”
He went on: “The sound of silence is deafening.”
I really couldn’t say it better myself.

I agree 100% with the view that the protests of both the EDL and UAF should be ignored. It's totaly unfair on the residents of Bradford that both these groups are using US for political and atin establishments reasons. The EDL are coming from all over the country as are the UAF (look at the UAF's website and see how far and wide they arranging public transport). Both these extremists (yes UAF as well as EDL) do not have the views of the Bradford man on the street. Let's hope they both damage there own reputations more than our city.
