Britain First calls African Americans “immigrants” in bizarre new video
By Matt Florence

The Far-right nationalist group ‘Britain First’ known for their strong anti-immigration and fundamentalist religious beliefs have uploaded a bizarre new video. Yesterday Britain First uploaded a video showing a crowd of predominantly non-white people fighting against riot police which Britain First in the video description claimed were “immigrants”. The video was later exposed to be footage of the 2015 Baltimore riots which happened after a black man was killed in police custody after being arrested for alleged possession of an “illegal switchblade”. Britain First uploaded the video of the predominantly African American crowd clashing with police with the words “Immigrants are driving The police from the street!” in the description of the video.

The footage shows cars parked on the right side of the road, and police vehicles do not resemble British police vehicles. The video also has a voice narrator saying that the footage shows “Westbury Avenue” which is a location within Baltimore and a quick google maps search for “Westbury Avenue Baltimore” shows the location in the footage. The original video was uploaded to YouTube and can be viewed here: Link. Judging by the Comments below the video many of Britain First’s online followers (most of which are actually American) appeared to believe that the video showed immigrants fighting against British police. However many of Britain First’s followers expressed their confusion in the comments after noticing that the footage was from the 2015 Baltimore riots. This is unusual because the Britain First Facebook page which is the largest Facebook page for any British political party (despite the party’s small membership) has a reputation for banning Facebook users that post skeptical comments.

Britain First often attempts to raise anger against ethnic minorities in Britain and America by uploading footage of non-white minorities rioting, protesting or showing Muslims praying in public. Typically when they upload such a video all details of the time and location that the footage was taken are omitted from their descriptions and kept a secret from their own followers. Usually the descriptions of these videos contain Britain First’s followers expressing their violent fantasies about killing “immigrants”.
There are many reasons why Britain First’s supporters are mostly American. The following are reasons why the British hate Britain First:
1) They once held a demonstration against the construction of a Mosque only to later discover the “mosque” was a KFC. This demonstration which cost the police £500,000 to oversee.
2) They have repeatedly upload photographs of abused animals with links to their website donation link implying that the donations were to help abused animals. In actuality Britain First pocketed the cash.
3) They stage rallies marching through predominantly immigrant neighborhoods in attempts to incite people into violence.
4) Britain First is a splinter group formed from people who left the British Nationalist Party which was a party that banned all non-white people from joining.
5) Britain First claims to be a Christian organisation but have been denounced by every major Christian organisation in the UK
