Across the front of the hotel a women's peace banner is drapped. Sweet.

Just got a call from someone in Halifax where some of the EDL are meeting up in a pub. There are about 100 at present, with a huge EDL banner. There are four coaches there to escort them to Bradford.

At the EDL site in Bradford another 10 police vans full of police officers has just arrived. There are dozens of journalists here too. BBC and ITN have hired banquet rooms in the Midland Hotel, overlooking the EDL site. Across the front of the hotel a women's peace banner is drapped. Sweet.

There's still over an hour to go before the EDL arrive but everyone is certainly ramping up their activities.
