Yesterday a pitiful 600 of their foot soldiers turned up for their latest &ldquo;big one&rdquo;, a demonstration that never had a chance of getting to Tower Hamlets. &ldquo;Top boy&rdquo; 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 weapons and fighting the police. Over a thousand people attended an anti-fascist rally at Altab Ali park and several hundred marched off in defiance of police restrictions. A group of over 100 actually made it to the EDL&rsquo;s route before being kettled. Despite all of their macho bravado, the EDL were easily contained by the police but anti-fascists were much more effective.</p> Sun, 08 Sep 2013 15:49:37 +0000 http://nottingham.tachanka.org/articles/5962 http://nottingham.tachanka.org/articles/5962
