I guess it is not that unreasonable to have all the signs made by one person, especially if you are just rousing the rabble.

Another thing I noticed is that the maximum number of people protesting (at least shown) is fourteen or fifteen. This is not a full-up grassroots demonstration, this is a staged press event photographed and cropped to look like a streetfull of screaming Muslims. The hand-out signs would be a part of that.

It is effective propaganda, though- the signs, angry faces, aggressive poses all combine to make an impact.

The protest consisted of something like 400-500 people according to Sky News.

Judging from the TV photage I saw, I would guess something like 200-300.

The protesters claimed a thousand...
