I am not accusing you of lying; I have no way to know whether you are telling the truth. However, Wikipedia articles must be based upon reliable sources and contain no original research, which is what your claims would constitute. I'm happy to discuss this on the article's talk page if you feel there is more to be said. J Milburn (talk) 11:56, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Most of the information for this piece seems to have come from the left-wing New Statesman, it mentions EDL members being at the meeting and indeed protecting the meeting, however, how it knows this I don't know as nobody is named. This is in fact untrue, I attended this meeting, as as far as I could see there was no security. The vast majority of people attending were in their 50's and 60's, there were very few young people, and certainly no football types. I disgree with much else that has been written, however, as long as the origin of this information is given I have no objection.

 * Having looked around, it does seem like a rather odd claim, and it's certainly not essential to the article. I've removed it for now; if we see more reliable sources linking the BDP to the EDL, though, it'll probably have to go back in. I see you also had an objection to the inclusion of Collins's prediction; are you happier now that I've included a quote from Brons's website? J Milburn (talk) 15:33, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I think the quote from Bron's website does balance things up a little. Anyway, thanks for this.
