The EDL's Shameful Display on Rememberance Day

Police arrest EDL members to 'avert planned attack' in London

Three bailed and 176 released without charge after reports of threats to attack Occupy protesters outside St Paul's

Police arrested 179 members of the English Defence League after reports of repeated threats to attack Occupy protesters camped outside St Paul's Cathedral on Armistice Day.

Scotland Yard said they believed a breach of the peace was about to take place after they got intelligence that the EDL were planning the Armistice Day attack. The law states officers can arrest if they believe the breach of the peace to be "imminent."

A member of the tented community outside the cathedral expressed gratitude to the police for preventing any violence.

"It is fantastic if they are using their resources to try and stop people getting on to this site," said Bryn Phillips, a member of the Occupy LSX community. "If this has prevented violence then I am pleased."

The English Defence League had issued statements and made threats on Facebook to burn down protesters tents if they were still outside St Paul's on Remembrance Sunday, according to Phillips.

I'm not usually a big fan of the police but for once they do a good job of keeping the EDL scum off our streets.

Here's what really happened from an OFFICIAL news source

watch?v=Y4SNnFaF4Gs

How many MAC members got arrested for burning the poppy and flag? NONE! Yet the EDL were arrested because some twat on the internet who I highly doubt was apart of the EDL made a threat. The dumb thing is they arrested them AFTER the ceremony to prevent a breach of peace AT the ceremony.

@NWONoWorldOrderNWO I'd like to see evidence of that. No-one turns up looking for a fight in a suit while carrying poppy wreaths. We always turn up to support our troops and honour our war dead.

The police were shamed for doing this because they had no reason too! They thought they might disrupt the peace which goes against everything we stand for and the bloody ceremony had ended hours ago!

**Hello People, Me and my friends have just released a documentary on the EDL, we reveal the truth behind the EDL, and the truth behind the MDL - and we also reveal how every day normal muslims feel about the situation - Please click my username and watch the documentary, and if you like it - please spread the word. Im sick of people like anjam choudry and other extremists being on the TV and representing islam, its time for the average muslims to show the world that we are not all terrorists.**
