An anti-EDL protester holds a placard reading 'no racist EDL' as part of a counter demonstration of 200 people that confronted a 50 strong English Defence League protest outside Bristol City Council's offices against a proposed new mosque in the city's Cheltenham Road. A large police presence kept the opposing sides apart; there were heated exchanges and objects were thrown by the anti-EDL protesters. A proposed meeting, arranged by Bristol City Council for people opposing the mosque was due to take place but was canceled at the last minute. Bristol, UK 07/01/2014
