The poor gentleman; what a reward for fighting fascism, eh?

[Craigsanders1]

disgusting. They dont even stop to help the poor guy...What a disgrace this country is in with the EDL running riot and the government taking us up the backside at every opportunity. Glad the old boy was ok he should be hailed a modern day hero he fought for our freedom and won and we should all do the same against the EDL scum bags.

fucking pigs racist scum!

My mistake. It isn't the guy with red crash helmet that hits him, but one of the riot cops.... someone pointed this out.... "look closer ... I don't think he is knocked over by red crash helmet guy. Its the second couple of riot coppers who pass by dragging a demonstrator. The copper on the right shoves Bertie with his right arm. About 26 seconds into the vid. Use the pause button to click through it while viewing vid on youtube fullscreen."

That's disgusting!!! That poor bloke. I was talking to him yesterday, he was lovely and certainly not causing any trouble. GMP were far too heavy handed, they seemed intent on causing a riot. I myself was hit on the back with a baton by the riot police, and my only crime was standing there.

Poor old bloke I hope he wasn't seriously hurt

Good to know what side the real WW2 hero was on

How many cops in the EDL? They are not currently banned from joining it unlike the BNP.

Police assault, this guy wasnt even doing anything wrong, the copper didnt even give a backward glance, and he could of seriously injured this poor man. And they get praised on "how well" they dealt with the situation. Its a joke nothin but a joke. The police are a law unto themselves! The they wonder why people dont trust them and dont like and give them grief??? Well the reason is right here in COLOUR VIDEO!!!!

[randumperson1]

Police assaulting an OAP!!! its not even like he is causing trouble...the heartless son of a bitch doesnt even gice a backward glance....and if you look on the Bolton Evening News website, it says the police have been praised for their efforts???? its a bloody joke!!!!
