5 September 2009 – A “significant number” of people have been arrested during clashes between right-wing protesters and anti-fascist campaigners in Birmingham.

A group calling itself the English Defence League, which said it was protesting against Islamic extremism, was met with a counter demonstration.

Gangs of men and youths hurled bottles at each other and pelted riot police with bricks in the city centre.

Police said it was not possible to say how many arrests had been made.

Officers had earlier said more than 20 men had been arrested on a bus in Digbeth during the afternoon.

A number of further arrests were made on double-decker buses in the city centre later.

The disturbances followed clashes last month, between English Defence League protesters and members of United Against Fascism.

West Midlands Police said the latest trouble involved a total of about 200 people, in mainly sporadic incidents.

The disturbances were confined mainly to the New Street and Bennetts Hill area.

The police helicopter was flying over the city centre for several hours monitoring the movements of the protesters and a heavy police presence was visible on the streets.

Police said the people held later in the day had boarded the buses on which they were arrested in and around Bennetts Hill.

Other arrests were made in nearby Waterloo Street and in Digbeth High Street.

Det Ch Insp Sue Southern said: “Officers acted quickly and robustly to quell pockets of disorder caused by several groups of 20 to 30 men.

“Police estimate around 200 people in total were involved in the trouble.”

Community leaders have been on the streets to try to calm the situation.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said the first arrests for violent disorder were made shortly after 1530 BST.

The BBC’s Dominic Casciani said police filled two double-decker buses with protesters from the English Defence League and transported them to Lancaster Circus.

“Both buses were filled with right wing protesters,” he said.

“Police made them hold their protest in an underpass at Lancaster Circus, where no-one could see them.”

Before the demonstration police and the city council obtained an order allowing them to restrict “trespassing groups” in the Bullring area of the city, under section 14a of the Public Order Act.

They were also granted permission to impose conditions on the protesters, restricting them to certain locations and a limit of 250 people.

Orders were also passed restricting the demonstrations to two locations.

But after meeting on Broad Street in the city’s entertainment district, demonstrators went to New Street, about half a mile away, and trouble broke out.

The street, which houses a large number of banks, cafes and chain stores, is a major pedestrian shopping route.

The nearby Bullring shopping centre and other shops remained open.

Det Ch Insp Southern said business leaders had said they considered the lack of impact on the busy retail area a success.

On its website, the English Defence League had urged its supporters to avoid violent clashes.

It added anyone causing trouble would be arrested or removed and could destroy the hard work put in by the league and police and “would ruin the day for everyone”.

It also stressed it was not a fascist organisation.

The police and council had been criticised on anti-fascist websites for allowing the protests to go ahead.

At 1:31 the one with the glasses and grey hair is either Mi5 or police because he has been at similar protests stirred up by police and Mi5 and never anything heard of him

The first enemy is our own, the Guardian reading, uk do-gooders ,that are the first to turn on our own, but excuse everything done by others. When the pendulum swings the other way these are the ones you’ll have to ‘deal’ with first. Might be a good idea to start recording details now.

poocha I support the EDL but do not tar all muslims as extremists, it’s like saying all catholics were ira supporters when clearly they were not.

TheVillan1966 on November 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 am #

poochaLondon, I …
poochaLondon, I support the EDL against extremists but do not label all Muslims, it would be the same as saying all catholics supported the IRA so do not generalize over a minority that give the majority a bad name.

The UAF attacked …
The UAF attacked BNP member Tony Ward with a hammer, the attack was caught on video and there were witnesses – however all charges have been dropped because of “insufficient evidence”. See the BNP website for more.

You may not agree with the BNP on all issues, but you need to know about this incident so that you can see how corrupt the Police and justice system is, and how the UAF are allowed to attack patriots with impunity.

Go to the BNP website for this new article.

The Muslims pray to …
The Muslims pray to the Qu’ran a terrorists handbook with clear instructions from the warlord Mohammed to kill me, my family and fellow western citizens as so called non believers.
Quite simply it should be banned as it leads to this type of behaviour!

As a person who is …
As a person who is not a nationalist I would say the BNP is the only weapon (and coincedentially a very poerful one) we have against our in competant government. Nationalists will never get thier own way, because it cannot work, but there is a middle ground in which we can all be equally satisified and disatisified. And all those issues are outlined in a list of BNP polices.
A protest vote makes this clear, it is them up to the mainstream parties to react accordingly!

JustB3NJI on November 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 am #

We will get it back …
We will get it back..The sleeping Englishmen awakes!
They say historcally we are a country of Immigrants
But also true is we a country that has always fought immigration.
We are a country the compromises
But historically the English always win in the end!
People can say the BNP EDL SIOE go to far or dont represent them but whoever you are if you are of this country then to whatever extent you thinking along the same lines.

JustB3NJI on November 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 am #

Are you from the …
Are you from the ZCDL? Zionists conpriracist Defense League?

You sound more clever but your totally on par with the comment “fuck pakistan…”
You hate a whole group of people you think they hate whole group of people (except they dont) so cut the smug shit, your as bad as you think thepeople you are attacking are.
