New one from @hopenothate.org.uk on Britain First's shambolic showing in Nuneaton on the weekend. We tracked down the big screen company. Interestingly, the quote we received for the same package as BF was about £1,800 cheaper than what they told supporters they'd paid. What's going on there? 🤔

💥 NEW: With a poor turnout and unfulfilled promises, Britain First’s Nuneaton rally on Saturday was a shambles. We have also uncovered a puzzle about the cost of the big screen hired for the event: why was our quote much cheaper for the exact same set-up? hopenothate.org.uk/2025/03/04/e...

One of the things that really comes through in this undercover investigation is just how frustrated the Britain First membership is with the leader, Paul Golding. Golding is known for running activists into the ground and milking them constantly for cash, often for items that never actually appear.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Another remarkable piece of work by my @hopenothate.org.uk colleagues. Harry infiltrated the anti-Muslim party Britain First and over a number of months was elevated to being a core activist. What Britain First says publicly and what they say privately are very different. The truth will shock you.

Two Leeds-based far-right activists have been pushing extreme content from behind pseudonyms and a separate nazi-coded propaganda channel. 1 of them has a criminal conviction for threatening police officers with a "mediaeval" style weapon. Their extremity and violent rhetoric makes them a concern.
