Britain First - Danny Jarman - 12-05-2014 Quote:Britain First is a British far-right[SUP][3][/SUP] political party and pressure group, registered in November 2011 as a political party, although it is also associated with an unregistered [B]National People's Party and the Northern Ireland-based Protestant Coalition. It campaigns primarily on what it perceives as the Islamification of the United Kingdom. Britain First - Magda Hassan - 12-05-2014 Is this the same group that invaded a mosque yesterday in Birmingham ? Britain First - Danny Jarman - 12-05-2014 So what the hell is going on here? I came across their facebook and twitter page today. At first, I genuinely thought it was satire but then realised they are completely serious and are running in the forthcoming European elections. They have cute little uniforms and seem well funded - my suspicions arose almost instantly. Today they broke into and vandalised 10 Mosques in the north and harassed peaceful worshippers. I sense a storm coming in the UK and the escalation of this nonsense. MI5's Anjem Choudry et al vs MI5's Britain First? EDIT: Magda: Yes, and they are recruiting people across the country to do "street patrols" ::face.palm:::: Britain First - Magda Hassan - 12-05-2014 I saw something about this on George Galloway's twitter feed seconds after it was reported to him. Apparently 11 mosques were invaded by uniform wearing fascists and bibles were thrown around and they abused the people there. Quote:Bradford West MP George Galloway will be touring Bradford mosques tomorrow (Monday) which were violated by right-wing extremists on Saturday. Doesn't look like much in the UK media about this at all.

Always suspicious of people who like to dress up and play soldiers. Who funds this theater? Danny Jarman Wrote:I sense a storm coming in the UK and the escalation of this nonsense.Indeed. They always like a few teams in play in case harmony should break out and their services no longer required. Britain First - David Guyatt - 12-05-2014 Being a cynic on these things, and since timing is everything in politics, I can't help wonder if increased activity from the far right is a way of blackening UKIP, which is gaining popular support on the immigration issue and which might threaten the Conservative's at the next election. PS, timing is everything OTHER than pocket filling activities obviously. ::hush:: Britain First - Danny Jarman - 19-05-2014 They speak out against the "creeping Sharia law" in the UK yet on their facebook page call for public hanging for pedophiles. I guess the irony is lost on them :: Britain First - Magda Hassan - 19-05-2014 Lots of things are lost on them. ::flyingpig:: Britain First - Magda Hassan - 28-07-2014 Britain First founder quits over mosque invasions which attract ''racists and extremists''Former church minister and British National Party member Jim Dowson told the Mirror the raids are "provocative and counterproductive"Masked guard: Britain First members at meeting The founder of ultra-right Britain First has quit the group over its "unchristian" paramilitary-style "mosque invasions". Former church minister and British National Party member Jim Dowson told the Mirror the raids are "provocative and counterproductive". He added that they were attracting "racists and extremists" to the organisation, which has taken over from the British National Party and the English Defence League as the biggest far-right threat in the UK. Mr Dowson, 49, from Belfast, left the BNP in 2010 to form a "Christian" group opposing the rise of radical Islam. Formed from other former BNP and EDL members, Britain First made headlines this year by invading mosques in England and Scotland and threatening imams. Men in the group's paramilitary-style uniforms this month pushed their way into a mosque in Crayford, Kent, to complain about separate entrances for men and women. Mr Dowson said he had pulled the plug on the group's funding, closed their office in Belfast and severed all links. He described the mosque invasions as "unacceptable and unchristian", adding: "Most of the Muslims in this country are fine. "They are worried about extremists the same as us. So going into their mosques and stirring them up and provoking them is political madness and a bit rude." He criticised another Britain First leader, Paul Golding, who runs the self-styled "defence force" behind the Britain First invasions. These actions see uniformed men descend on mosques to hand leaflets and Bibles to Muslim worshippers. During one, in Yorkshire, Britain First members were filmed wearing flat caps and jackets bearing the motto "Taking our country back". Footage showed one Muslim being told to "reject the false prophet Muhammad and read the Bible". Intimidating: Paul Golding, centre, and supporters at Crayford mosque Mr Dowson said: "No matter how many times I told him [Golding] I did not want decent Muslims intimidated, he just continued doing it. "I have come to the conclusion that no matter how hard I tried, you cannot escape from the fact that the group is being overrun with racists and extremists. "I think he is fooling himself and lots of people that Britain First is a Christian group. Sadly, it has just become a violent front for people abusing the Bible. "I think they're becoming as much a problem as [Muslim activist] Anjem Choudary who they claim to oppose. They are just as bad as each other." Matthew Collins, of anti-fascist campaign group Hope Not Hate, welcomed news of Mr Dowson's resignation, describing him as a "key player" in the British far-right. But he added: "Dowson may have been reined in by other Christians, but we need to make sure Britain First is finished before we move onto the next problem Dowson could create." Provocative: Motto could incite violence Mr Golding last night denied Britain First is racist. He said: "Some people who invade these mosques with us are mixed race themselves. Britain First is, as far as right-wing organisations go, relatively scandal-free." He disagreed with Mr Dowson over mosque invasions and said they were a short-term campaign. Strictly Come Dancing star Craig Revel Horwood was recently duped into posing for a snap used as propaganda on Britain First's Facebook page. Craig tweeted: "To let all my followers know that I in no way support Britain First!
