The politics of Britain First:
-
Britain First is only recently a registered political party. Previously it used the name “National People’s Party”, before deciding to register the Britain First name.
-
BF claim it is not a racist or fascist organisation, yet it propagandises on the traditional far-right issues of Islam, immigration and abortion. It encourages its members to carry out actions like mass emailing and letter writing in a campaign to “Put Britons First”, which the organisation appears to define as anyone who is Christian. So far, it claims that over thirty thousand “actions” have been taken.
-
The BF is closely aligned with the black-led organisation the “Christian People’s Party”, which also had a small dalliance with the BNP when Dowson was fundraising for them.
-
If religion has replaced race as the clarion call in the BF, it does not appear to feel the need to proselytise or seemingly recruit to its cause either non-Christians or BNP hardliners.
-
The party has doomsday prophesy where it believes civilization will end in bloodshed between Christians and Muslims. To this end, the party has stepped up its efforts to antagonised Muslim groups.

I am sure you know this but the reason Britain First are more popular on Facebook than any other party in the UK is precisely because of this tactic of sharing images like this which hundreds of thousands of people have unwittingly shared.
If you believe UKIP deliberately shared this because they support BF then you must also accept that BF are indeed the most popular political party in the UK with 547k genuine “likes”.
Which is it?
