EDT last night. (Why such a big police presence outside last night?)

[I hammer]

Can anyone explain why there was such a big police presence outside the EDT last night?

(I'm due to take

my parents there next week...but this may change my mind).

I'm in The EDT most nights.. Stayed in last night.

I miss all the fun.. :(

The last time a huge police presence appeared (in Covent Garden) I discovered

almost everybody I was drinking with were Britain First members.

EDT is normally quiet.

A guy that had been previously barred (unknown to Bar staff) was holding his Birthday celebration with a large group of friends.

He was asked to leave. The situation got heated with his friends. The Police were called to deal with the situation.

Could not of been me.

1. I was not there.

3. I don't have any friends.

Aww Fox! Is trouble becoming more prevalent in the EDT? Only ask as I was having a pint in another local establishment this evening and while I was at the bar they took a call saying a group of ne'erdowells had been ejected from the EDT and watch out if they were coming that way...

[DulwichFox]

I was in the EDT last night. 8.45 - 10-30ish no one ejected during that time, that I was aware of.

Having said that, the EDT was Rammed last night and there was an air of unease.

Very rowdy, loud. Someone else commented 'we are getting all the idiots from The ******* in here recently.'

It was getting even busier as I was leaving.

Foxy.

ETA. Worth remembering it is the end of the month (last Friday) and many people would of just been paid.

Everywhere on L.L was busy last night including on the street.

[rendelharris]

No this was earlier, about 7.30.

I went home through Clapham and the bouncers there were saying how quiet bank holiday fridays were.

I'm trying to work out where the ******** is :)

I believe the Police were called due to the fact that a young man was getting rowdy- though I may quite possibly be wrong!
