FOUR arrests were made at a rowdy Far Right demonstration in Leeds in which pigs’ heads were thrown at police.

A huge police operation involving over 100 officers swung into action on Saturday (May 4) as the English Defence league marched through Leeds’ Lingfield estate - at the invitation of residents angered after the go ahead was given to plans to turn a derelict pub into a Muslim-run community centre.

Those same police will run away and do nothing when a rowdy Muslim mob starts throwing things. It’s no wonder the actual English are upset.

Leeds City Council

This should be EDL's target. Drag them out of their homes or offices and tar and feather them.

Was it really a "Far Right" crowd or will any opposition to the leftist agenda automatically get that label?

Complete misleading tripe.

Was the FR title the original title? It is not there now.

But either way, the headline and early part of the article makes it seem like there was so much violence. But the police said 4 were arrested for minor disruptions. Geesh.

The “Story” is as follows:

ISLAM is a “race”, hence anyone against it is automatically a “racist” and hence nullified.

Anybody who is not among the Islamist/Collectivist/Socialist/Anarchist left is “FAR RIGHT”, hence nullified.

White is BAD, “brown” is GOOD.

War=peace, freedon=slavery, hate your fellow man; long live the party (now where have I heard that before?)

The Brits are disarmed. We Yanks have our guns.

Muzzies in America aren’t nearly as loud as in UK.

This is a shame. I have several friends that live in Yorkshire, including one in Leeds.

I don’t know much about the EDL, except that they appear to me to be the political equivalent of soccer hooligans.

It takes all kinds, you need some that are willing to get into the mud with the pukes on the left.
