Time To Ban The EDL ?
 
THIS is the shocking moment a female police officer was knocked to the ground when violence broke out during an EDL march in Worcester on Saturday.

The EDL (English Defence League) held a rally in the centre of Worcester on Saturday afternoon to protest against plans to build a £3 million mosque in the city.

Three people were arrested and two police officers were injured, as well as an EDL supporter, during the 90 minute disorder.

Footage shows the moment violence broke out as police tried to control the route the EDL march was taking down Broad Street in the city centre.

Shockingly, the fighting broke out just yards away from shoppers, including families with young children.

Mum-of-two Melanie Yates, 30, said: "I had my two daughters with me and we went into town because it was the first day of the summer holidays and I was going to treat them to a toy.

"I knew the EDL were going to hold a march but the police statements all said it was going to be peaceful but when we got to Broad Street it was like a warzone.

"There were bottles and cans being chucked everywhere. At one point I thought it was going to turn into a riot because the police looked overwhelmed.

"I took my kids by the hand and just ran. They were in tears when we got home."


Dad Jason Eades, 40, said he narrowly avoided being hurt when he walked out of a café during the fracas.

He said: "I walked out of the baguette shop and suddenly there were dozens of people screaming and shouting.

"It was pretty frightening and there were lots of families and old people who were caught in the middle of it all.

"I think the police should have done more to stop the violence coming so close to shoppers who frankly had nothing to do with it."

Definitely, they are a violent hate group.

Tommy Robinson ditched the group because they were too violent and actually racist, and I think that says a lot about them.

Yes all extremist groups should be banned

They’ve been over run by neo-nazis.Not a fan of banning speech but when they’re carrying out violent acts or even insighting it they need to be treated as a threat to the country.
