Seven men have pleaded guilty to violent disorder following disturbances at an EDL rally in Walsall September 2012.
Hundreds of police officers had been deployed in the town to try to prevent trouble. Today seven men admitted being involved in the disorder at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
Six other men deny the same charge. They’ll face a trial later in the year.
