Members of the UK's far-right English Defence League (EDL) face off against the mayor of Worcester, Jabba Riaz, prior to a protest.

EDL supporters are rallying against plans to build a £3 million mosque in the city.

"You publicly obviously oppose the EDL being here," one of the members tells the mayor. "I said I don't want you to be here but you've got a right to be here," the mayor responds.

The situation escalates with one of the EDL members irately labelling Riaz's behaviour "disgusting". Riaz asks them to "come and make an appointment".

Scores of police formed a barrier between English Defence League supporters and approximately 300 vocal anti-fascist contingent consisting of students, trade union members and local councillors.
