The EDL are being very quiet about their latest failure this morning. Yesterday a pitiful 600 of their foot soldiers turned up for their latest “big one”, a demonstration that never had a chance of getting to Tower Hamlets. “Top boy” Tiny Tommy was arrested (to be debriefed by his handlers no doubt) at the end of the demo and several of the cannon fodder were nicked for carrying offensive wea…

Following in the footsteps of the National Front and the BNP, the EDL went to Skegness to demonstrate against the halal slaughterhouse on Saturday.

Wigman Road and Trowell Road, Nottingham June 2013

Unlike its county council neighbour, Nottingham City Council has been one of the better local authorities when it comes to cycling provisions. But even councils with good intentions can get things wrong.
