Racist thugs of the EDL, who were drunk and disorderly and had just committed some crimes were recently found in a non-racist area of London when their coach broke down. The police had to commandeer a bus to transfer them out, then arrested the thugs for crimes including assault on a Policeman.
Our resident religious extremist poster, event horizon, has quoted the news item below - but true to form, identifies with the thugs and calls the British anti-fascist protestors the 'thugs'.
eh is evidently losing it these days - I suspect it is because he has been cornered in the religious forum about his Christian beliefs on the Bible, the Pope and his bizaro 'interpretations' of the Quran. If he was in a normal frame of mind he surely wouldn't have thought he could get away with his selective quote and misrepresentations of this story.
Either that, or the young guy is just too lazy to read the whole article.
A Met spokeswoman said: "A coach containing individuals believed to have participated in the EDL demonstration stopped in Whitechapel Road - some passengers got off and an altercation took place with some local youths who had gathered.
"Shortly after, the coach broke down outside Stepney Green Underground Station, and a further disturbance took place.
"Officers commandeered a double decker bus before transferring the passengers and escorting them off the borough."
...
She added: "All those on the coach were arrested for public order offences and an investigation is ongoing to identify others outside the bus who participated in the disorder."
A total of 60 people - including the 44 involved in the bus incident - were arrested in connection with the EDL protest.
Offences included assault on a police officer, common assault, drunk and disorderly behaviour and affray.

So did Shafique miss out these bits?
A coach full of English Defence League supporters was pelted with missiles after it broke down in east London.
The coach was carrying 44 EDL members when it stopped in Mile End Road, Tower Hamlets.
About 100 Asian teenagers then pelted it with bricks and stones, according to a BBC reporter at the scene.
The police commandeered a London bus and moved the EDL supporters onto it before escorting the bus east.
(if you didn't get it allow me to explain, the police commandeered the bus to protect them)
But a group of youths subsequently sat down in the middle of Mile End Road, blocking the bus and forcing it to stop.
At this point a large number of Asian men began arriving from a nearby estate.The reporter said by then the situation had become very scary.
(This is how planned violence begins and it's shocking because it resembles the quick assembly and dispersion of rioters.I'm not even a cop but I can already draw similarities between this incident and the London riots. The quick assembly of jobless youth ever ready to cause confrontation. Unless England cracks down on them, the country is truly screwed.)
The police charged the youths and scuffles broke out.
Another group standing on a footbridge over the road threw bricks at the bus.Police managed to clear the road and the bus left the area.
Shafiur Rahman had organised stewards for a rival demonstration earlier in the day.
He said that allowing the bus through Tower Hamlets was a major security error that could have ended in disaster.
(Lol the joke is on you Brits as now areas in your own country are sealed off, You are not welcome!)
Offences included assault on a police officer, common assault, drunk and disorderly behaviour and affray.
(so going by the report if anything these offenses were carried out by the Asians. The EDL supporters were probably arrested cos they did'nt have rally permissions or whatever)
(So I hope this clears your misunderstanding Shafique, can't believe I have to spell everything out to you)
