The day of the demonstration

Well, the demonstration and counter-demo took place. Three people were arrested, but it does not seem to have been revealed which side each of them was on.

Estimates of the total turnout vary, but ITV news has it as 250 for EDL and 650 for We Are Norwich.

I first saw the EDL marching down Castle Meadow as I exited Waterstone's. They were initially chanting "E, E, EDL" but soon began chanting "scum, scum, scum, scum". As far as I could see the only other people in the area were police, shoppers and what appeared to be part of a news crew, so exactly who the "scum" in question were is unclear.

This image was posted on Twitter. The injured man was identified as a twenty-year-old protester, but no further information was given. Judging by the location of the photo he was with We Are Norwich.

"Best bit: EDL leader implies shoppers are with him and met with jeers. He flips and calls shoppers scum", tweeted Liam McCafferty.
