EDL members demonstrate at Asda
Around 15-20 EDL members flashmobbed Asda in Rochdale at around 3:30pm, to protest at the sale of Halal meat. They were moved on, without arrest, by police.
"Town centre business owner, Paul Turner-Mitchell, was doing his shopping when he saw the group. He described it as “really bizarre.”
Speaking to Rochdale Online, he said: “I turned up at Asda at about 3.30pm on Saturday and there were two police officers outside Asda and a couple of Asda security guards, I thought it seemed strange but then I didn’t give it another thought and went about my shopping.
“I had two of my children with me and we were near the milk section and by the halal meat section there was a big group of men and then more police officers turned up.
“The police were there very quickly and the police moved them on and it was business as usual.
“When I finished my shopping and had paid, the police were still outside so I asked them what was going on and they said they were members of the EDL and they had been dispersed into the town centre where there were extra police.”
