Leeds Protests

[buttkicker]

Leeds today was the scene of the biggest Police presence I have ever seen, with opposing protest groups holding rallys in Leeds on the same day
having never been to such a gathering I really did not know what to expect at all

The Police must of been pleased that it went off without any major troubles with only a small handful of arrests

the EDL group did not like the photographers at all and were really abusive with threats etc about where they would 'ram' the camera if we did not stop taking pics

anyway I moved away from some of the hardcore trouble makers as I cant afford the cleaning bill if they had shoved it where they said they would LOL

anyway enough twaddle and some images

One group was a group similar to the BNP called the English defense League... the others were a group called the AIF opposed to them

the EDL bunch were hard to deal with as all they did was threaten photographers with a torrent of 4 letter words
still an interesting day with the camera
