Ignoring all the political ideology, whatever you may think of their aims, the vast majority of Britain First supporters - that I know in person - scare me.

I wouldn't want to engage in conversation with any of them, as I know how the 'conversation' would likely end.

As a white, middle class man, the rising popularity of this group frightens me more than any religion or ethnicity.

Cant help but feel this undermines their point, somewhat?

They're the latest reincarnation of the BUF/NF/BNP/EDL. Im not sure if they're growing as much as rebranding.

Not sure if serious, but looking at your location (Swizzerland), I'm talking about these weirdos:

The problem is the unwitting, most of them are on Facebook and dont really remember what Britain First is after they've shared something, but when you see it come round again and again it gets boring.

How Britain First message out is very clever, it just happens to be a very blinkered view of things

Good point, well made.

It was nice when the BNP went quiet!

I hadn't heard of Britain Frst until I read your post. I've had a look at their website. They seem to be angry at white lefties, rather than different religons or ethnicities.

Why do they scare you?

There was a Facebook post earlier today from "Britain Furst" which stated that Big Ben was going to be renamed "Big Mohammed" and that you should share to stop it happening.*


  • - something like that, the exact details escape me.

Never heard of them. Don't know anybody who is part of them. Get better friends.

Britain Furst is a parody group taking the piss. Also I'm sure that Ice T image was coined up by the same group, but it looks like some meathead has taken it seriously
