Reflections on Britain First and the UAF

Britain First recently held a demonstration in Dudley in the Black Country to protest a new mega mosque that is to be built there.  Britain First have said that they organised the demonstration because local people did not want the mega mosque, but that local councillors had approved it regardless.

At the recent general election, just short of eighty percent of all votes case in Dudley (which has two parliamentary constituencies) were cast for political parties which actively encourage the proliferation of Islam in this country.  The remaining votes were cast for UKIP, which is a rather lame protest party.

Of course thousands of people in Dudley did not vote at all, but why not?  If they did not vote because not one party which was standing was robustly opposed to the spread of Islam, then maybe they should join a political party which is actually deserving of public support.

Much as I admire the determination of Britain First activists, I can only conclude that the people of Dudley do in fact want the mega mosque to be built.

On a related point, Jayda Fransen of Britain First was asked by the BBC in advance of the demonstration about the disruption it might cause.  I do not know how much disruption if any was caused on the day, but I do know that public demonstrations concerning Islam or anything connected with immigration is often met by counter protests from communist thugs, not necessarily connected with Unite Against Fascism.

When such counter protests do take place - or even when they are expected - the police will turn out in force.  This inevitably takes valuable police resources away from other duties.  If communist thugs did not organise counter protests, then the police would be free to deploy their officers elsewhere.

Communist thugs care about many things, but law and order is not one of them.
