Stupid fucking English Defence League (racist anti-Muslim protest group).
I mentioned before that they were staging a march in my home town on my Dad's 70th birthday. I was unhappy enough about the march, let alone the coincidence that made it a day of celebration for us.
But news filters through bit by bit; I learn that all the town centre churches will be closed and boarded up. Most of the town centre shops will be closed. The buses are stopping approx 1/2 a mile outside the town centre. Oh and the taxi drivers (mostly Asian, but usually second generation) are not providing a service either.
I've just snagged a couple of taxis but we're paying a premium.
Bloody racist bigots.
Not only getting my peaceful relatively trouble free town on the national news for all the wrong reasons, but now making problems for my Dad's birthday.
Grrrrrrrrr.
