Members of the far-right English Defence League organization had turned up to clean up the mess around the Churchill statue — at their own initiative.
One EDL activist, who did not give his name, was on his hands and knees with a brush and some turpentine scrubbing away at graffiti.

"They (the protesters) are fools. If they're complaining about tuition fees, they should spend that money on getting some history lessons."
