Britain First is a far-right, fascist political party that was formed in 2011 by former members of the British National Party (BNP)
. The party was founded by Jim Dowson, an anti-abortion and far-right campaigner, and its leader is former BNP councillor Paul Golding. The party's deputy leader was Jayda Fransen, who was charged by police in Northern Ireland with hate speech at a rally outside Belfast City Hall in August 2017. Britain First describes itself as “a patriotic political party and street movement” and “a patriotic resistance and ‘frontline’ for our long suffering people” .The party is known for its nationalist and anti-immigration agenda, as well as its opposition to multiculturalism and what it perceives as the Islamification of the UK. It is openly anti-Islam and has been involved in protests against mosques. Britain First is considered a minor political movement in the UK, with an estimated 1,000 supporters.It's worth noting that the party's history is relatively short, having been formed in 2011 by former members of the BNP. The party has faced criticism and controversy for its far-right views and activities. In 2017, Britain First was deregistered by Britain’s elections watchdog, the Electoral Commission, after it failed to confirm that its registered details were correct and pay a routine fee of £25.
