This week I’ve decided to follow up my first article. The EDL march took place in Luton on Saturday, and I followed the live coverage online throughout the day. This is the first article where I really got to utilise personal contacts. My brother went out for a recce of the town early in the morning, on his way home from work. He managed to get me a picture, and provided a quote. This was good because this article is now very individual to me. I had predicted there was a chance for serious trouble at the march/demo in my last piece, but gladly it didn’t occur. Much of my research in the run up to the day was done by following forums and Facebook groups. I found some good information from left wing groups on the socialist youth forum pertaining to Feb 5, and a lot of info on estimated numbers from the EDL’s facebook group. A live text service from www.lutononline.co.uk helped on the day too.
