:00:09. > :00:18.right English Defence League held a rally. There were no reported

:00:19. > :00:21.arrests but, as our political editor, Len Tingle, reports, the day

:00:22. > :00:24.was not without incident. Far right English Defence League

:00:25. > :00:29.activists told me they expected 2000. In the event, less than a

:00:30. > :00:35.quarter of that number turned up but it was still enough to disrupt

:00:36. > :00:38.Rotherham. Shops shut along the route here and most shoppers have

:00:39. > :00:42.stayed at home. I reckon tere's about 400 EDL here but they are

:00:43. > :00:47.outnumbered by the police by about two to one. The police operation

:00:48. > :00:53.alone is costing ?500,000. The EDL's day out here is proving to be an

:00:54. > :00:56.expensive one. From all over the country, EDL supporters say that

:00:57. > :01:01.they're fighting what they claim is the growing influence of the Muslim

:01:02. > :01:05.culture. They totally deny being racist. The EDL is a multiracial

:01:06. > :01:09.organisation, for starters, so how can that actually be classed as

:01:10. > :01:13.racist? If it is multiracial, where are the black faces? There aren't

:01:14. > :01:17.any. Maybe not in this one but if you would back to the other values,

:01:18. > :01:25.you know, all over you tube, we have Sikhs, Muslims, black people, all

:01:26. > :01:28.sorts of people. `` YouTube. There was a brawl when a counter

:01:29. > :01:31.demonstration by antifascist campaigners tried to match the

:01:32. > :01:34.volume of the EDL rally. I think it's a disgrace that people are

:01:35. > :01:37.trying to divide communities with racism, anti`Semitism, sexism to

:01:38. > :01:40.this town. And I've come up here because people have asked me to come

:01:41. > :01:43.here and stand in solidarity with them and a united community

:01:44. > :01:48.opposition to the EDL. You're not going to be able to get to them

:01:49. > :01:57.although most of you would love to. But police successfully contained no
