UAF protest at Upney station

Protestors were hoping that Nick Griffin would take a train to Upney and walk through the borough to meet his potential voters. However, this walkaround happened about 2 hours prior to this protest and BNP leader wasn't challenged by any anti-fascist group. Why would he get off at Upney, where there is nothing around, instead of at the main Barking's station anyway??

18th November 2009, Trafalgar Square, London. Around 1,000 Algerian football supporters stormed London's Trafalfar Square after Algeria beat Egypt 1-0 in 2010 World Cup Qualifiers. This win means Algeria has qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 23 years.
Chuffed supporters were setting off fireworks from the crowd.
Algerian celebrations in London were peaceful as opposed to the situation in Cairo and Algeria. In Algeria 14 people were killed and 250 injured. Read the full story HERE. Is football worth it?
As I was leaving at 11.30pm, Trafalgar Square was still in a full swing of Algerian celebrations.

SDL, Glasgow, 14 Nov 2009

Saturday November 14, Glasgow. Scottish defence league (SDL) march was banned by the local authorities so them lads held 'a meeting' in a pub in the North part of the town. Protest by United Against Fascism (UAF) and other groups was on and started with a rally at Glasgow Green by the Nelson's Monument. At least 1000 people gathered to listen to the speeches.
As we learned that SDL group was in the pub, we decided to stick with a group of anarchists as they were quite fired up and wanted to fight. Group of about 20 of them confronted 3 suspicious looking guys with a little kid. Who knows who they were, probably just a football hooligans, dressed in Ben Sherman. However, anarchists confronted them with abuse such as: "Don't hide behind a baby, you c**t!" or "Call a Social Services, this baby shouldn't be exposed to such a c**t as his dad is!" Pretty harsh, I must say, especially in a front of a little kid.
After this little incident, the group set off on an epic run through the streets of Glasgow to meet the SDL lot in a pub in the north part of the town. To everyone's disappointment, the SDL was gone, escorted by the police to the buses and driven away to the outskirts of Glasgow.
Other snappers told us we didn't miss much. V-signs for the cameras and some chanting. Police did a good job in not letting those two groups to meet. What it meant for us was that we didn't even get a glimpse of a 60+ strong crowd of SDL.
In the meantime, around 3000 opponents of far right set off on a march from Glasgow Green to George Square.
One brave, or rather stupid drunk confronted the march.
March ended with a rally at George Square. There were minor clashes in the city centre later in the afternoon and few arrests were made.
