A march in Ipswich celebrating multiculturalism appears to have only white people on parade while an EDL march at the same time in the same city has 'black' supporters. Can the EDL really draw support from all sections of the community?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.on my way home from work last night i encountered a march of some sort, about 60-70 people, some carrying small infants, were marching with banners and hi viz jackets, gawd knows what it was about but the music sounded ok, (it could be heard over my garth cd in the car). i thought it might be EDL as most of the men had bald heads.

If people were to read the EDL's mission statement they would see absolutely no racism in it and very little to disagree with. I don't believe the EDL is racist as such. They seem to have arisen as a response to fanatical Muslims preaching hatred on the streets of the UK.
Unfortunately they seem to attract some rather dubious characters to their cause.

Local TV reported that there were only 25 EDL marchers there. That seems about right for Suffolk.Can't work out how many in the picture are brown , but there is no reason why someone whose ancestors are from the Indian sub-continent and who is established here wouldn't want to "pull up the drawbridge" or be against jihadists.
