UK's First 'Anti-Islamisation' Rally Dwarfed by Counter-Demo
Yahoo News ^ | 2/28/15 | AFP

An estimated 375 people turned out for the Germany-based PEGIDA movement's first demonstration in Britain on Saturday, but were outnumbered by a 2,000-strong crowd of counter-protesters, police said.

PEGIDA has drawn large crowds in Germany to protest against what it calls the "Islamisation" of Europe, and small demonstrations have also taken place in Austria and Sweden.

Police in the city of Newcastle, northeast England, said five men were arrested "for isolated incidents" but insisted both the PEGIDA march and the Newcastle Unites protest passed off smoothly.

The five men, aged between 17 and 54, were arrested for alleged offences including assault, breach of the peace and for being drunk and disorderly.

Extra police had been deployed in the city, which was also hosting a Premier League football match between Newcastle United and Aston Villa, and there were some angry confrontations as officers kept the two protests apart.

British subjects have neither guns nor the right to self defense.

American citizens have both guns and the right to use them defensively (for the most part; check your state laws).

Muzzies know this.

Hey, Germans...your nation in microcosm. You won't last much longer.
Good thing my German ancestors left in the late 1800's.

Are these not Brits?

Then why is there no one among them wearing a bowler hat and carrying an umbrella?

This is not the UK I once knew.
