...apparently.

Getting words from a few mates of mine in the area of all sorts of burly shit. Aldgate East being sealed, kettling taking place, over 1000 EDL members protesting against a mosque, young men from inside the mosque chanting anti-izan slogans against the crowd, streets being sealed;

Standoff at Aldgate- cops keeping anti-fascists and EDL apart. England flags visible behind lines.

Don't think they'll be any problem later, anyway we'll be open as usual.

Funny how everything is called a riot now.

Stephan Lennon (Tommy Robinson) arrived in disguise, dressed as an orthodox rabbi, to address the EDL crowd, then got nicked when police realised who it was.

Maybe unrelated, but BBC is reporting an Imam being killed in Finsbury Park today after morning prayers;
