After the Home Secretary had banned the EDL’s anti-Muslim march through Tower Hamlets they were still allowed to hold a static protest at the edge of the borough, at Aldgate. The EDL had bragged for months that they were going to have a national mobilisation and were going to “march into the lion’s den” in the multiracial, multicultural borough of Tower Hamlets. However they were able to muster only about 600 – police estimate of 1,000 – members from all over the country.

A total of 60 EDL protesters were arrested as scuffles broke out and bottles and firecrackers were thrown. Further skirmishes broke out during the afternoon as EDL leader Stephen Lennon addressed the crowd, telling them he had broken his bail conditions to be at the protest. In contrast, thousands of antifascists, trade unionists and members of the local community held a peaceful ‘march of victory’ through Whitechapel after the EDL had been led away by the police, having failed to demonstrate in Tower Hamlets. Before that, at the peaceful rally, at the heart of Whitechapel, organized jointly by Unite Against Fascism (UAF) and United East End there was an electric atmosphere of solidarity as white, black and Asian people, of all religions and none, came together. Throughout the day there were speeches, trade union banners, flags and music creating an atmosphere of carnival of unity. [INDENT]Varinder Singh, from the Turban Campaign, a London based think tank said: “today has been a very important day in the history of East London.
