DRONE FOOTAGE exposing the fake news article posted by the BBC about a Mosque being attacked in Stoke on Trent.

To cover up the real story that approx 300+ Muslim men some armed, stormed Hanley town centre they turned them into the victims.

In this picture here, you'll see the Mosque, the peaceful protest didn't start until 11:30am at the totally opposite end of town, nowhere near this location.

At 9:00am the hundreds of men you see pictured were already mobilized and some were armed.

Hundreds of Muslim men mobilized ready for fighting after they were told the EDL was coming to attack them by the leader of the Mosque (entirely untrue) as we know the EDL doesn't exist. I was part of the protest myself which was near B&M bargains.

For reference here is the map, walking distance it is 0.5 miles away 12 minutes, the protestors were nowhere near the Mosque or the people.

When it's the school holidays and hundreds of men are standing chanting Allahu Akbar most of the people standing around were curious kids.

Nobody went anywhere near the mosque or entered onto it's property, you can see it was heavily guarded. In addition to the security outside, there was also security inside.

Now the BBC would leave you to believe that some attackers managed to get past all of the police and all of these men and this Mosque became under attack. This is a false narrative that they are misleading the public with.

Here at 9am you can hear Hama the manager of Masjid Salahuddin riling up these men by telling them that people are coming to fight with them. Some are already armed, the peaceful protest to stop the boats happened at 11.30am at opposite end of town.

Now what followed is disgusting and evidence that putting a Mosque near a City central location is a risk to the public. The protestors never came to meet these guys head on, just the spectators you see in the drone footage. They got bored and went looking for them ARMED.

Prior launching their operation to invade the city centre, there are clips that have circulated the web where the police were very kind and professional.

"We are not against you guys, we are here to help and protect you"

The officer on site was clearly aware these men were armed as he asked them to discard their weapons in the mosque, and it was obvious in the video at 9am of men holding large pieces of wood etc.

Here is another clip of men walking around on site armed with machetes at the mosque, the instructions in the previous video were clearly ignored and the men rampaged around the city centre looking for protestors or "EDL" the group that doesn't exist.

The men left the hill and charged towards the city centre armed with weapons.

You can see some of them walk past one of the entrances to the Potteries shopping centre chanting Allahu Akbar.

You can see them here causing criminal damage to @GreggsOfficial as well as looting their store and freely walking around the city centre with weapons unchallenged.

More footage of them walking around freely with weapons.

Jane Ashworth the Leader of the Council, gave a disingenuous interview with Channel 4 by saying the intention was to march on an unguarded mosque. The mosque was HEAVILY GUARDED, nobody had any intention on marching on a mosque.

She was also quick to push the narrative of misinformation over a stabbing, what she didn't say was two men were attacked and lost a lot of blood that people mistook it for a stabbing, it was allegedly actually a hammer attack.

She also didn't mention that the missiles being thrown mainly originated coming from the Mosque themself almost as a raised fortress. In addition to rocks there was also some kind of explosives, no idea what they were.

Some men and kids retaliated and chucked a few rocks back.

One observer was hit by one of these projectiles thrown towards the public and children!

So far all media of the whole incident has been entirely dishonest and biased, such as this interview here.

The Theatre was locked down not because patriotic men walked chanting stop the boats, but because a Muslim mob was walking around with swords and machetes.

Another one here - I fully expect this Muslim mob to dig deep and donate to this fund raiser to fully compensate this poor people affected by this.

This report is laughable by the BBC, they were not victims, nor were they under any threat, hundreds of armed Muslim men were brought to fight the EDL that disbanded over a decade ago, despite already having police protection driven by a dangerous rhetoric from our government.

Hama is also seen in clips requesting for his army to not kill anyone, really? They actually turned up with intent to kill? We are thankful no tragedy's occurred, the only thing that stopped the blood spilling on our streets that day was the location on the Mosque.

Had the Mosque had been closer such as the one they have pending planning permission 70294_FUL for St Johns, I do not believe anyone would have had a chance to escape what unfolded next.

This must be denied and Masjid Salahuddin must be investigated and shut down immediately.

Now to @Policingstoke, I think you recognise a lot of things went wrong that day hence the investigation and it was certainly a close shave. There are lessons to be learned from this for sure... And I'm sorry that @Keir_Starmer has put you in this position to begin with.

The public want justice served equally not just the local alcoholic being used as a scapegoat, EVERYONE within the footage committing a criminal offence should be prosecuted.

Weapons in a public place, GHB, criminal damage, affray...

Please don't let us down again.

Any comment about your lefty biased journalism and lack of truth? I previously tagged Alex and he's now hidden his tweets that all praising Nick Lowes and Hope not Hate, very suspicious.

The public deserve truth with impunity, do better.

@GreggsOfficial The Muslim male accompanied with a guy walking with a sword in this clip, is also this guy.

@GreggsOfficial Within the circle highlighting the guy above in the crowd is also this guy in the #15 shirt.
