In the interests of equality, I post two links the first from the Unite Against Fascist's (UAF) web page, and the other from the English Defence League's (EDL) web page.
It is for others to judge which stands out as the most aggressive.
This also makes for interesting reading,

This sums up the EDL
// EDL leader Stephen Lennon addressed the crowd in Aldgate, east London, saying he had defied bail conditions imposed for an earlier football hooliganism offence in order to appear at the rally. //
How quaintly English.
Also...
// There were further disturbances when a coach carrying EDL members broke down in east London and they fought with local youths, after which all the passengers on the coach were arrested, police said. //

From the report in The Metro:
// But EDL supporters threw missiles and were involved in a series of scuffles with police, leading to 16 arrests for affray, assaulting a police officer and drunk and disorderly.
A coach carrying the EDL group then broke down outside Stepney Green tube station, close to a mosque, and a further disturbance broke out.
Passengers from the coach were removed from Tower Hamlets by police, while hundreds of locals gathered outside the mosque in what appeared to be an attempt to ensure it was not attacked. //

what there should be is a proper debate, an open and honest meeting of people who have concerns over immigration, and it's effects on their communities, not mud slinging, just an airing of views, perhaps then you might get people to see all sides of the story. This should involve politicians, and members of the public, if we are going to be a cohesive society, then something needs to be done about the matter now, because whilst i dislike, organisations like EDL, UAF, there are divisions, though some would say not, but this situation isn't going to get any better whilst politicians sit on their hands and do nothing.
While I do not condone violence no matter who committed it, it is interesting to note the blatant one sided news reports.
it was reported that there was 1000 EDL protesters and 1500 counter protesters, out of 2500 there were just 16 arrests.
The reports give the impression that these were solely EDL members, no mention of the troublesome Far-Left groups, which included members of the UAF, Trade Unions,and Muslim groups, who apparently if the news reports are to be believed conducted themselves impeccably.
Incidentally regarding the EDL bus that broke down, the local London radio reported that the bus while it was broke down was attacked by Asian youths who smashed the buses windows with rocks and clubs.
So I figure that contrary to those reports that the passengers were arrested, they were in fact taken into custody by the police for their own protection.

As I have already said they were most likely taken off the bus by the police, for their own protection while the bus was towed away and they awaited new transport
