Pair Jailed For EDL Halifax Demo

The Halifax Courier has reported that a 21-year-old man from Rochdale and a 16-year-old from Stockport have been locked up for their part in disturbances at a English Defence League (EDL) protest at a children’s museum in Halifax.

One of them has a previous conviction for threatening behaviour at a football match.

The protest in question was held in July. Rocks and bottles were thrown towards officers, fences were damaged and staff inside the museum were also scared. The protest cost around a whopping £336,000.
