Waiting for the barbarians


The last time there was an English Defence League march in Leicester, many of their supporters stopped off in Market Harborough on the way. I was out searching for a lost Medieval village that day (I have an image to keep up), but I am told that they took over the town centre with their chanting for a while.

This morning all was quiet. There were a lot of police around and the Wetherspoon's pub where the EDL congregated last time had not opened.

I saw only about a dozen EDL types in the town. They were clustered around another pub, which had refused to serve them.

Is this a tribute to your beloved Prof Stanley Unwin?
