One EDL Protest Costs Halifax Town £336,000

The EDL organized a protest at the small multicultural and diverse town of Halifax.

The protest was a fairly average one, but involved a tonne of police units, vehicles and a helicopter to take to the streets and keep an eye out for any cases of misbehavior, whilst EDL supporters were standing in alleyways trying to look busy whilst many were caged near the train station.

The Halifax Courier (11 Oct 11) reported that £336,000 was spent just for this one protest, and what’s more is that... the cost was three times bigger than expected! The British taxpayer money had gone to waste, just for the likes of the EDL.

The EDL don’t even do a good job at tackling ‘Islamists’ by protesting, so what is the point?

The government gives money to keep the community safe, whilst the EDL is busy asking for donations.

For the usual pub-crawls?
