Britain First posts: VIDEO: Britain First “Solidarity Patrol” in support of the Jewish community (Golders Green, London)
These patrols are in response to a steep rise in Islamic hostility and attacks directed at the Jewish community in Britain.
Sarah Cohen: “The Jews are fighting the same daily battle against Muslim extremists.Thanks for the support Britain First.I have shared this with my Jewish friends in Israel.”
Offer Binshtok: “Ethnic cleansing – Islam performs at this time, ethnic cleansing of all European Jews under the watchful eyes, of the leaders of the Western European countries, and Western society, who do nothing to stop this ethnic cleansing.”
Britain First is a far-right British nationalist political party and movement formed in 2011 by former members of the British National Party.[11] Britain First campaigns primarily against mass immigration and what it sees as the Islamisation of the United Kingdom, and advocates the preservation of traditional British culture. The group is inspired by Ulster loyalism and has a vigilante wing called the “Britain First Defence Force”. It attracted attention by taking direct action such as protests outside homes of Islamists, and what it describes as “Christian patrols” and “invasions” of British mosques. The party was founded by Jim Dowson, an anti-abortion campaigner linked to loyalist militants…
In May 2014, members of Britain First entered ten Bradford mosques, as well as in Glasgow,[28] Luton and East London.[10] They made statements of the action of perceived Muslim grooming gangs in the area, accusing the community elders of failing to stop the gangs, while handing out Army Bibles and proselytising Christianity and telling one member to “reject the false prophet Muhammad and read the Bible”. They also went to a Labour office to inform them that “they had been warned”.[28][48] In response, Bradford West MP George Galloway said, “This is a grave and national issue. We demand full police action and protection of Mosques and worshippers.”[49] Police are investigating.[28]
In July 2014, Britain First entered the Crayford Mosque in South London, demanding that its segregated entrances be removed, with Golding saying, “When you respect women we’ll respect your mosques.” A volunteer of the local Muslim association called Britain First, “filthy people creating trouble in our society.”[50] Two addresses were raided in police investigation of this entrance, which led Britain First to protest at Bexleyheath Police Station. The group sought to gain publicity by stating that Golding was arrested for this protest, although the Metropolitan Police confirmed that they had spoken with him and no arrests had been made.
Christoph Donnellan Is Britain First really ‘nazi’?
Luke Ford No, just short-hand for far right.
Christoph Donnellan That term is also a misnomer. Most European nationalist groups are far to the left on many social and economic issues compared to the establishment parties, which is why they have mainly a working class base of support. In France for example, the Front National is the largest working class party, drawing more native French working class support than the Socialist or Communist Parties.
Alex Trivunovic They’re good eggs, but very prole, so the media loathes them.
Christoph Donnellan Its obvious what the attraction of these movements would be as it is the native working classes and poor who have been most severely impacted by globalism and mass immigration, and who are the most economically damaged segments of society by these things.
It speaks volumes too that there is nothing approaching similar movements on any level in the United States. The Democrats serve their sexual and racial minority base, having written off, with a few exceptions, the white middle and working classes to the GOP, while the Republicans entirely serve the interests of their super-wealthy and corporate donors. Ordinary white Americans really have no political or social voice for their explicit social and economic interests.
Alex Trivunovic There are some individuals that Americans can look to. Jim Webb, Kris Kobach, Jeff Sessions. The problem is the political system which makes it almost impossible for protest parties to ascend and challenge the status quo. European politics have shown that a protest party doesn’t even have to be all that big to have a significant impact on how major parties deal with particular issues.
