The English National Resistance was forced to cancel a protest it had planned to hold on Saturday - but staged a smaller demonstration in the area.

The far right group, which has links to the English Defence League, was planning to stage a demonstration outside the Harrow borough home of Abu Qatada at 12pm.

But at the last minute a High Court injunction was brought to prevent the group from holding demonstrations within 500 yards of the radical preacher’s home.

More than 25 people armed with flags and banners gathered on a street and shouted “get the bombers off our streets".

The English National Resistance is vowing to fight the injunction in the High Court on February 15.

Despite the injunction, a smaller protest was held outside the area covered by the restriction.
