“The march passed without any major incidents, therefore, the decision was correct to permit both groups to march. Personally, I feel that this is because of the wonderful policing tactics and the overwhelming spirit and desire portrayed by the local people of Leicester.
Hopefully, this delivers a strong message to any party or organisation that this great city of Leicester will not be divided. Nevertheless, the continuous squabble and debates regarding the EDL is simply pointless. In a strange manner, it is as if they have "scored a goal", because we allow them to have constant coverage. They came, they marched, they got bored and they left. It was an itch in the small of the back, however, we satisfied ourselves through scratching and we move on. Councillor Willmott is causing unnecessary arguments. I appreciate and respect his stance but surely, this country and city has more demanding and pressing matters.
Overall, the community of Leicester is diverse, we have citizens of different ethnic backgrounds, our beliefs in God differ, we vary in colour, our homely lives are not conducted in a uniformed manner, nonetheless, we are unified and depict solidarity through our ability to respect, honour, value and show consideration to each and every individual. We have our disagreements but let us persevere and allow our exemplary character shine through. Come what may, the people of Leicester stand firm together.”

“ross willmott go hide under a mushroom where you belong”

“@RuralOutBack: You said, 'So Ross Willmott marched with the UAF. SergeForward has this not damaged any credibility this group...'

What are you asking me for??? I'm not anything to do with UAF, and neither they nor Ross Willmott or any politician have any credibility with me. So basically, what are you on about?”

“The only thing that should be banned is 'idiot of the highest order' Ross Wilmott, he typifies the far left ideology of "we dont agree with it so ban it", freedoms of choice are just bywords to these people, they are full (as Ross Wilmott most certainly is) of bloated self importance and a worrying need to be noticed, i myself, do not entirely agree with either the far left ideologies of the UAF OR the far right rubbish of the EDL...BUT...i DO agree with snippets of each and i do try to understand both sides of this argument, and when i arrive at an opinion with which i am comfortable i will have done so without listening to the brainwashing dogma of buffoons like Ross Willmott and his ilk who would like me to sit quietly in a darkened room whilst he makes my decisions for me, and this is also something the Leic Mercury could learn from as well, Your reporting on this demo has been appallingly one sided in favour of the far left attitudes whose opinions you most obviously favour whilst rubbishing the few lines that you have given to the far right but, surely, it's obvious is'nt it? that by printing the rubbish that BOTH SIDES clearly spout will enable the public (remember us?) to make their own informed decision as to which side of the argument (if any) they want to support?, IF it came to it, to be honest i would'nt soil a voting paper for either of them, but that would be MY decision, without influence!, i don't for a moment suppose that everyone will agree with me, but, whatever their opinion is, (especially) Ross Willmott and the LM, you must respect that it is just that, THEIR OPINION!!! and they should be free to make it without any interference or favour from you!”

“So, Lee, do the Welsh have their own army or not? Enquiring minds want to know.”

“@Mohammned86. Your quote "don't be like sheep following the herd" does come across as pretty rich coming from a culture which indoctrinates children from a very early age in the ways of Islam. I have no axe to grind with you personally but, with respect, why should we seek knowledge about a religion we are simply not interested in? To some of us most faiths seem equally unnecessary but to pursue knowledge about one which is so strict that even the food you eat has to be halal, well...”

“A number of Councillors and also a Leicester MP marched with the UAF - I don'y understand your point RuralOutBack”

“So Ross Willmott marched with the UAF. SergeForward has this not damaged any credibility this group has and has it not brought Willmott into disripute as he has signed up to the equality standards when he became a councillor?”

“@ THobbes,
The entire far left are now reduced to spurious claims, feeble attempts at stirring in-fighting and name calling as they have ran out of any valid argument at all. The majority voice and numbers are of advocacy of the English. We are many they are few and our time of common sense, freedom and democracy is coming.
THobbes Epic fail.”

“The City Mayor writes: "faith groups - - - have been almost unanimous in saying they do not want us to seek a ban on the march". In another article we read "The Leicester Council of Faiths has revealed it wrote to the police recommending that the EDL march be banned" Where, and what, is the truth?”
