Apparently there was a big demo in Birmingham at the weekend. I heard about it on the radio last night during a phone in. It seems PC gone mad.

What sort of demo? -
There are often big demos that no-one hears about.
The media only care about eye catching stunts.
Get the right stunt and you get masses of coverage.

No BBC link though. You can bet that if it had been the other way round there would be publicity.

You're right, been searching and the only places I can find reference to it are on far right political group websites.
Can't find a single reference in any newspaper/website other than that.
It's oppression is what it is, not publishing the details of far right marches in this country ...
BTW Can't seem to find any reference on numbers attending, what constitutes huge?Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

There were up to a hundred apparently. Obviously, suppression keeps attendances down.
Listening to the phone in on Talksport last night it was interesting to hear that a number of the protestors were non-whites. I would say that approx. 75% of callers were in favour of this demo and discussion of the issues rather than sweeping them under the carpet.
One guy that phoned in was a non-muslim Pakistani who compared devout muslims with being fascists in that they are totally intolerant of other religions, and their aim is to have an Islamic state in the UK. Coming from a Pakistani living in the UK, that is very telling indeed.

Would be suprised if it made the local paper.
With a gimmick that will never get media attention.
There was once a demo for 60,000 that received 1 column inch in the independent.Comment
