The Connaught Arms, Fratton

Amg. Yes the posts were made before the last march, but its not the first time the EDL had been in, and again at the request of the Police. There was no obligation for the landlady to comply, but when requested by the Police to help stop a breach of the peace we, as regulars believe she was in order to help. They will NOT be returning to the pub. This is the second time we have posted to let people know that we are a friendly pub, can you see a pattern emerging. I again urge all to come and see for yourselves.

Speaking as a regular of over10 years, I felt compelled to answer the comments I have read regarding my local.
This establishment does not support the EDL. The landlady was asked by the Police to allow them to meet in the pub, to ensure they were all in one place.
As for the Landladies' children being supporters, this is blatantly not true.
It is, and always has been a family friendly and we would welcome the previous commentators to pop in and see for themselves .
