Britain First

[nicedream]

There seem to be a lot of supporters popping up, especially on facebook - i'm hoping it's simply ignorance, and that people don't realise that they are a bunch of racist morons...

Sorry, I think it's just that your Facebook friends are twats

QFT. I don't see any of this stuff. The first sign of any this shit and they are off my already limited friend list.

 

[Lord Camomile]

No, please, after you.

I don't think there's many more of them than there ever were, but they seem to have a better social media operation than they did. That can be fluke though. I sometimes do blog pieces. They get anywhere from 40 to 1000 hits with little rhyme or reason to it, I can't see a link to quality for example, good or bad.

You can always delete people from Facebook.

I can indded. I prefer to point out the facts and post articles which may make people think.

couldn't the entire membership of britain first fit comfortably into the gents at the coronet on holloway road?

 

[butchersapron]

Give it a rest ffs you lot. We are not stupid.

I'm sick of seeing morons share their stuff also.

This the post that got me banned?

Odd, was banned shortly after making this.

Britain First are getting a lot of Facebook support with their petition against Halal slaughter.

 

[nicedream]

They posted stuff about 'baby P' and people reposted it... It's stuff like this which makes people think they're reasonable human beings :/

Seriously? A petition against Halal slaughter? What, to outlaw it?

 

[maybe dave]

They were trying to organise a protest outside subway shops the other day

They reckon the have hundreds of ex-servicemen street activists and armoured landrovers that they are apparently going to 'deploy' to protect ukip

There's talk on their facebook page of 'invading' mosques in the North West and Scotland and continuing the crusades

I can't find it now. It's coming from an Animal Welfare position, saying that, as Britain is not a muslim country, we should not allow Halal slaughter.

It's curious. About 4 or 5 of my FB friends find sympathy with Britain First (I don't define myself or my friends by their politics) and the Britain First FB site has been well busy today and there's been poisonous stuff flying all over Facebook.

 

[brogdale]

"It's coming from an Animal Welfare position..."

Is Facebook impossible to switch off?

It's been cold out, so I've spent most of the day inside doodling around on Facebook and having arguments...

pretty sure ive heard the anti-halal thing from certain animal rights peeps over the years

This is really weird stuff, there seems to be a lot of emphasis on the Christianity thing, more so than any British far-right movement in recent years.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...bles-outside-mosques-in-bradford-9352271.html

Far right activists have targeted mosques in Bradford attempting to hand out Bibles and distribute leaflets accusing community elders of failing to stop grooming gangs.

It is believed members of Britain First, some wearing uniforms, staged the protests at 10 places of worship in the city centre. The group posted images of themselves on Facebook confronting members of the Asian community.

 

[Red Storm]

Britain First "invaded" mosques in Braford and then the local Labour Party office

[butchersapron]

George needs a bit of that over the next year.

 

[Dogsauce]

The Halal stuff has been knocking about for years - the EDL/NWI were all over KFC about this for a while. A couple of misleading sensationalised front page stories and the far-right get to stage a recruiting drive.

Any reason the press are running with this at the moment, or does anyone know if it started out on Facebook, got a bit of attention and they picked it up from there?

 

[Awesome Wells]

Using bibles as an attempt to persuade people away from mistreating women and children? Oh lordy!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

They posted stuff about 'baby P' and people reposted it... It's stuff like this which makes people think they're reasonable human beings :/

Curious, as Jason Owen who was convicted of the killing of Baby P was a member of the National Front.

Its money. All the sponsored posts. The reason so many people are sharing this shit is it is turning up in everyone's feed. Posts along the lines of "Isn't it sad some cunts killed a drummer" and "this kids dead aren't the parents who did it shit" are the ones most of my "friends" seem to be sharing quite possibly without looking into the politics. The halal ones and the "oh noes this foreign person did a foreign crime here in what to them is a foreign country but got a medal for it because they're foreign but marines go to orison because they're not foreign" get a few shares. Someone I went to college with reposts all the Rigby grief porn, possibly because her son is in the army or some such, didn't respond when I mentioned that the Rigby family have spoken out against far right groups and got into a dispute with/about Britain First using his name as a vote winner on polling cards. I have been getting constant sponsored posts from them perhaps because I've visited "political pages". Must be costing Dowson a fortune.

pretty sure wearing political uniforms can get you a nicking, still

Depends what you're doing. The wearing of them alone is not an offence.
