EDL Outnumbered in Chelmsford

Chelmsford, Essex. Sat 18 Aug 2012


 
 Police hold the Essex Unite Against Fascism march until the EDL are inside the cordon around their rally

 and I get there just as they are starting

 

 The marchers come from Essex and neighbouring counties

 with the message 'Racist EDL NOT welcome here!'
      
 

 
 
There are several people in clerical dress, including this local hospital chaplain  

 

Two EDL supporters came to shout at the march and were quickly led away by police 

 

 

The Traveller Solidarity Network supported the Dale Farm residents against eviction 

 

The EDL were behind a couple of police lines perhaps 200 yards away, but they will have been able to hear 

the strength of the opposition. Earlier the EDL had been told there were only around 50 UAF, but in fact
there were more than 200, at least 3 times as many as the EDL, and their rally in the centre of the city
would have been seen by many more than the EDL march or their rally which was surrounded with police
cordons and at least one tall specially erected fence.
