Yes, and don't we just know how our valiant crusading media will report it - EDL etc downplayed, and the closure '...after visit by Muslim group'.

We want our people to come first, before foreigners, asylum seekers or migrants and we are overtly proud of this stance.

We will not stand back and watch as our people are made second class citizens by leftwing-liberal policies and political correctness.

We will restore Christianity as the bedrock and foundation of our national life as it has been for the last one thousand years

They also have many principles, apparently:

Britain First stands opposed to all alien and destructive political or religious doctrines, including Marxism, Liberalism, Fascism, National Socialism, Political Correctness, Euro Federalism and Islam. Britain First is a movement of British nationalism, patriotism and democracy.

Britain First is a movement of British nationalism, patriotism and democracy.

That's presumably the sort of democracy where you can't hold a dissenting view?

[Killer Whale]

There is no British 'nation', only a crumbling English hegemony. Kind of makes the whole thing a non-starter.

[mojojojo]

They're so proud of themselves that they collect signatures and addresses by setting up 'Better Treatment for Soldiers' stalls in high streets with no mention of 'Britain First'. They did that here and soon pissed off when people were informed who they were.

[lord_kobel]

Yeah, they did that here. I had a go at them for being a BNP front, and later discovered that they'd actually split from the BNP as they felt the BNP were too soft...

[davidjay]

They've got the slogan 'We Are The British' on one of their posters. Where have we heard that before?

[youngian]

Britain First sounds like a made up Fascist party from an episode of the Professionals.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine is a self-styled "rising star of the right"

As serious and responsible as he is modest. I think he'll go far.

[youngian]

On his website the Daily Bale, Joshua Bonehill-Paine wrote an article claiming The Globe, in Leicester, had banned British armed forces to avoid offending the immigrant population.

The 21-year-old, from Yeovil, admitted one charge of malicious communication.

Chris Bulaitis, managing director of the pub group, said: "We had over 1,000 calls on the Saturday of people threatening to firebomb the pub, beat up the staff, who believed, absolutely believed, that we had banned military personnel.

As the Mail and Desmond's rags write these kind of lies on a regular basis, this prosecution is most welcome.

Also serves as a useful example of just how hideous some soldier supporters can be in their supposed support and pretection of soldiers (who in most cases would no doubt abhor such violent acts or threats been made in their name).

The whole, soldiers are good decent angels so lets act in a completely opposing way ourselves when supporting them is pretty revolting. I'm not saying all those who made those threats would have carried them out, but sadly there will always be a small few who would.

[The Weeping Angel]

It just goes to show the danger that people like bonehill-paine pose.

One can, if one is of the right, beat the left without mercy. One can, if one is of the left, seek to defeat the right. One cannot, if one is a republican, give the keys to our towns and cities to men and women who represent the worst there is.

The list of what one can be and think the same is not limited to republicans in Britain, of course.
