Believe it was a group calling itself the "English Defence League" Their website consists of the usual right wing cliches and lots of St Georges Crosses. This is a group that is for people that think the BNP are now too left wing. This lot are going to attract every Mosque burning thug there is.

Interesting these "riots". My mother in law has a small tearoom in the peak district and there was a local demonstration going on against Tescos and how poorly they pay the local farmers. 100 or so scruffy looking people came in for takeaway food and one guy paid the £400 approx bill. My mother-in-law being friendly (And German) asked them why they were visiting and was told they had been hired to come and "demonstrate" today, for £40 each plus transport and food.
Makes you wonder.

Just to add the BBC website is now carrying the story as one of its headlines.
The BBC spins it as a Right Wing group. But the groups protesting come from a variety of backgrounds.
The UK media is hushing up these riots taking place all over the UK at weekends.
The next major flashpoint is Luton as I pointed out earlier this week.
As more people are laid off we could see a return to events like in the early 1980s. The Media trying to pretend it is the BNP ( when these groups have nothing to do with any political party ) is making things worse and actually making it more likely that ordinary people who are very angry about the bank bailouts and Brown's war in Afganistan will take to the streets.
