English Defence League members clashed with police last night after travelling to Woolwich following the killing of a soldier in a suspected terrorist incident.
The leader of the Luton-based group, Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Lennon, called for “feet on the streets” in Woolwich after the attack.
He had earlier tweeted: “There has to be a reaction by the British public to this attack on one of our brave young soldiers.”
Sky News reported around 100 EDL supporters had gathered close to where the incident happened and that bottles were thrown at police.
Channel 4 reporter Brian Whelan tweeted: “Cops surrounding square, Edl milling about spoiling for a fight, helicopter up and scene of terror attack up road.”
