Nationalists vow to come back to Brighton
Nationalists want to make their bank holiday march an annual event.
The England United march by the English Nationalist Alliance triggered a large counter-demonstration and a £200,000 police operation on Monday.
Organisers say they want to return for a St George’s Day march in April and again next August Bank Holiday.
ENA chairman Bill Baker said: “We will be back on April 23 for St George’s Day and we are going to make it a regular August Bank Holiday.”
About 50 nationalists, some with English Defence League banners, marched from Brighton station to Victoria Gardens and back under a heavy police escort on Monday.
Their steps were dogged by about 200 counter-demonstrators including Unite Against Fascism.
