Mapping the 2001 Riot : Route, Event, Destruction

This image attempts to show and explain the direction and route of the 2001 Bradford riot. Displaying the main streets affected, and locations of major incidents. Although the rioting continued into the night and police pushed the mob towards residential Manningham, I have chosen to concentrate specifically on the triggers of the event in the city centre.

First Hand Disorder Experience : EDL Demo, Leeds

The English Defense League (EDL) and opposing United Against Fascism (UAF) both held rival demonstrations in Leeds yesterday (31st October). I was present to witness events unfold and observe how the Police managed the situation and any disturbance that occured. The WYP were out in very large numbers, and managed to contain disturbance to relatively low level, isolated incidents.
