Don't know! My DD was in central Manchester when it all kicked off. She had the impression they were trying to wind people up as some kind of revenge for the unity shown over the last couple of weeks.

Err; what was the EDL demonstrating against? The Express story linked to doesn't say.

OMG! What is wrong with some people. Testosterone has a lot to answer for. Some men just want any excuse for a fight.
Poor emergency services indeed.

Those poor police officers in Manchester and the emergency services will be working hard there too.
