Britain First: inside the extremist group targeting mosques



Britain First is the most active far-right group to emerge from the collapse of the BNP and EDL over the last year. Their leader on the streets, Paul Golding, is a former BNP councillor and their political guru, Jim Dowson, was previously in charge of BNP finances.

Together the pair are building a provocative political far-right organisation with a small, pseudo-paramilitary "defence force" taking their message to the streets.

Last month Channel 4 News followed the group as it traveled across London, visiting the private homes of Muslim hate preachers and nearly provoking a riot on Brick Lane, where it marched handing out anti-Islam leaflets.

Pictures seen by Channel 4 News also show the group's chairman, Paul Golding, speaking at a private Britain First event with a masked paramilitary-style colour party flanking the stage (see image below).

They're taking a fashionably anti-Islam tack right now but in the end, they're Nazis, no different than any other.
