Bolton Public Filming March 20th 2010

Incidents mainly surrounding the UAF were video captured for reference to the way that the Police and Unite Against Fascism activists conducted themselves during the UAF & EDL demonstration. Many arrests were caught on camera and one man in particular ended up with a bloody face due to his arrest. At one point three loud bangs were caught on camera followed by smoke bombs prior to the arrival of the main English Defence League activists. These were among some of the first problems now developing amongst the UAF activists prior to the arrest of both Weyman Bennet and Martin Smith. Police dogs and police riot squads were on hand to keep the UAF activists at bay.

After the arrival of the main EDL activists, chants and the exchangement of words from across Victoria Square eventually lead to missiles and objects of various possessions at hand to be eventually exchanged from each of the two protesting groups before police riot squads moved the EDL activist further back out of the square in order to remove the situation of missiles being thrown. The information is represented by video evidence recorded on the day.
