: EDL in Leicester

"Leicester is probably the most diverse city in the country in terms of ethnicity, Chinese, Jewish, Bangladeshi, Ugandan Indian, Hindu, Sikh, West Indian, Nigerian, white British and Irish and many more culture live together with comparatively little cultural conflict. The biggest mobilisation of police for 25 years in the country (the biggest since the miners strikes, which were large in Leicestershire) did little to protect the city from the threat of the EDL, who turned up in numbers of over 1000, building on their poor showing in Bradford."
