“Are you from Preston?”…”No”
An EDL protest is something that shouldn’t necessarily be made light of but when something like this comes along you can’t help it.
As Blog Preston covered both sides of today’s protests, we came across this sign amongst the EDL as they were demonstrating.
It says: “One community, one Preston. That’s what Preston was like before Islam divided us.”
She’s from Liverpool.
When asked if she knows what Preston used to be like, she replied no.
The EDL protests began at 12pm today but were finished before 2pm.
