Britain First

[nino_savatte]

RE: Britain First, are they a offshoot of the EDL?, will we see increasingly more radical break aways as the EDL decomposes, etc.

No, they're a BNP splinter that was formed by Jim Dowson, a former BNP Northern Ireland organiser/call centre operator and Ulster Loyalist. The BNP moved its operations to NI after it decided it wasn't getting anywhere on the 'mainland'. The main man is Paul Golding, a former BNP councillor for Sevenoaks.

Interestingly none of my friends share anything from these gits now

interesting that they can gain so much likeage and traction (unbought) on facebook but have near zero relevance to actual life. Like how a fart in the car affects only those in the car and dissipates when the window is wound down.

Got bollocked by one twit who'd repeatedly shared BF stuff for sharing that page because "I thought you were against britain first and that's one of theirs".

Seldom have I been so tempted to maliciously quote the first 2 lines of "Dear Lord and Father of mankind" at somebody who's a far more devout Christian than I ever was.

I hope none of my friends fall for this shite.

I don't use facebook, and groups like this make me glad.

Posted that as a comment to my uncle when he shared some image macro about singing the national anthem in ALL BRITISH SCHOOLS, but he deleted my comment and sent a message saying that he won't be told what to believe on Facebook in front of his peers. Knobber.

that being the case why are you so staunch in your defence of racist behaviour on that thread about america?

What's also interesting is the degree of thought and intent behind choosing the memes they're playing with and adding to.

slow news day:

 

[krink]

they are over the moon about this coverage, can't buy propaganda like this. also HNH/Searchlight will be rubbing their hands thinking of new revenue streams for this new 'threat'

slow news day:

That's a rather short news item. I'd expect it to be longer that 0.35 seconds. Weird.

 

[malatesta32]

they are drawing a lot of attention. they are also backed by 'diamond' jim dowson and led by paul golding who is a fuckbiscuit.

both golding's parents euro candidates for bf

 

[nino_savatte]

Yeah, I know about Dowson and Golding. Dowson has strong connections with Loyalist paramilitaries, which explains BF's love of uniforms and parades. Dowson was involved in the 'fleg' protests in 2012.

[to the tune of Lesley Gore's "It's My Party"] "It's my fleg and I'll fly if I want to"...

I see he's also formed another party called Protestant Coalition.

Given that Barthes' work proceeds from what could be called a Saussurian perspective, it could be called both!
