Reports suggest police officers attempting to control the incident were struck bricks and bottles. </p><p>Commenting on the protests, Superintendent Julia Pendry from the Metropolitan police said: "What police set out to do was to police peaceful protests. </p><p>"Unfortunately what unfolded was a series of acts of disorder and even cases of violence." </p><p>She added: "It is completely unacceptable for people to use the excuse of protest to break the law and behave in this way." </p><p>Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, communities secretary John Denham singled out the English Defence League for particular criticism, claiming groups were exploiting the white working class. </p><p>"If you look at the types of demonstrations they've organised... it looks pretty clear that it's a tactic designed to provoke and to get a response and hopefully create violence," he told the newspaper. </p><p>He also drew parallels with the infamous attempt by Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, to march his supporters through a Jewish area of the East End of London, in October 1936, leading to violent clashes. </p><p>"You could go back to the 1930s if you wanted to - Cable Street and all of those types of things," Mr Denham said. </p><p>"The tactic of trying to provoke a response in the hope of causing wider violence and mayhem is long established on the far-right and among extremist groups."</p> </div> <div id="article-ad"> <script type='text/javascript'><!--//<![CDATA[ var m3_u = (location.protocol=='https:'?'https://a.preferdigitaladvertising.co.uk/delivery/ajs.php':'http://a.preferdigitaladvertising.co.uk/delivery/ajs.php'); var m3_r = Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999999); if (!document.MAX_used) document.MAX_used = ','; document.write ("<scr"+"ipt type='text/javascript' src='"+m3_u); document.write ("?zoneid=139"); document.write ('&cb=' + m3_r); if (document.MAX_used != ',') document.write ("&exclude=" + document.MAX_used); document.write (document.charset ?
