The only logical explanation of Britain First’s success

Britain First are a far right political and social party experiencing considerable success on social media. This must be why…


Every time I see a post on Facebook from Britain First, I die a little inside for a couple of reasons;

  1. Usually it means that one of my friends has shared their post (I don’t follow Britain First) and this bums me out.
  2. I can’t comprehend the amount of “likes” they are racking up; 470,000 at last count.

The thought of there being 470,000 people in the world that share the racist bigoted opinions of this would-be-Nazi group is more than I can bear, so I've come up with an alternative reason for their success…

Anna

Anna is my daughter. She is two years old and goes to the toilet 13 times an hour. She does this because it’s new to her, having been potty trained for a lot less time than you have (unless you’re a Britain First supporter and you've only come here to be outraged).

In order for her to use the big girl toilet she has to take her step from under the sink, push it up against the bog, climb up and it’s down to business from there.

She often forgets to pull the chain and put her step back afterwards. But we forgive her because she’s two.

Grayson

Two weeks ago, my one year old son Grayson, took advantage of the step against the toilet that hadn’t been flushed. He entered the bathroom on one of his regular crawls and climbed up to the (now, thanks to Anna) easy to reach bog. With intense curiosity, he threw his hands into the water and began to taste-test the nutty delights of his sisters stool. Yummy.

What’s this got to do with Britain First?

It’s not always obvious that the posts being shared on Facebook are coming from a group of racists. For example, any man or woman who appreciates the work of our armed forces could get behind this one…

…but by sharing it, you are creating awareness of a page run by racists and fuelled by hate. You are pushing a step against Britain First’s toilet and less intelligent people are eating that shit up!

Stop sharing posts by Britain First.
