I thought the same as you until i got the full story. She was being a prick and was removed by the police, theres a video of her being dragged away for interrupting a minutes silence for the Westminster victims. She was the one doing the antagonising.
EDL are knuckle dragging arseholes, but the hero worship of her is ridiculous. We are getting half the story

where can i find this video? Seems to be having a laugh with the coppers while they're 'dragging' her away.

Before reading any of the other replies, my first thought after seeing that article is that she's adding flames to the fire and it's mindless of people to automatically applaud her for that.

Clearly the ranks of the EDL will be made up of racists or facist leaners but she's gone there to be provocative. If she wanted to do something about the situation of an EDL rally there she would have been more sensible to talk to them respectful of the issues they raise. Two sides on either side of the backgrounds of the issue might then begin to understand one another and do something productive to diminish the tensions that are there within our society whether you like it or not. The EDL aren't an extreme group out on the attack against immigrants so regardless of how much you may dislike them you're only making things worse for both sides and our society by being antagonistic.

It's in the social consciousness that the EDL are knuckle dragging, racist buffoons though so people in keeping with herd mentality automatically applaud any such attitude towards them when it's just as bad as the antagonistic members within the EDL. The EDL haven't done themselves any PR favours (even just with their name - "defence") but to resolve the tension with a good outcome people need to look past things like that to merely open communication.

wow ffs. Like the EDL do? You can watch a video of the event and see the EDL chanting 'muslim scum off our streets'. Who has gone there to be provocative, the EDL from outside of Birmingham or this young girl in her own city?

Ffs.

Don't really know much of the background, but it's already become a bit of an iconic image. Hard not to admire the almost bemused contempt she displays towards those racist dickheads.

Clap fucking trap.
Watch the videos. I especially like the idea of talking respectfully to the clown draped in the union flag and wearing a sheeps head.

WOW.

 

[Manchestercitychorlton]

Who is the one being provocative, young girl with her hands in her pockets, or the EDL leader with his fist raised being restrained by the police officer?

Obviously suffering from severe small man syndrome.

Fair fucks to her, she was defending another older woman being abused by an intimidating group of gobshites.
Their is a video the huff post is linking and apparently there was a minutes silence at the main stage the clowns had set up but this group of EDL lot and this tit in charge of them were ignoring the silence themselves in the area that this happened chatting away while it's going on and then after the kafuffle happens, but it's started when him and his lot confront the anti-nazi group, who as the video shows probably were not even aware the other area were having a silence as it's inaudiable to hear it announced.

She likes the specials that's good enough for me.
