Supporters of the far-right political group Britain First are planning to march through Bromley to "show solidarity" with leaders who have been charged with causing religiously aggravated harassment.

Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen were charged with three and four counts, respectively, of causing religiously aggravated harassment in May.

Their supporters have now organised a 'Persecuted Patriots Rally' to march with Golding and Fransen to Bromley Police Station next Saturday (November 4) between 1pm and 4pm.

Currently 137 people are going to attend the rally and a further 568 are "interested" in taking part according to the Facebook event which has been set up.

According to the event page, Britain First claims: "The police have forced Golding and Fransen to sign on Bromley Police Station every Saturday at 2pm.

"Don't let others stand alone on the front line! All patriots are welcome to attend. Good standards of behaviour apply."

Golding and Fransen both pleaded not guilty to the charges the face at Medway Magistrates' Court on October 17.

The case has been adjourned until next year.

The charges are in relation to allegations of leaflets being distributed in the Thanet and Canterbury areas of Kent and also videos being posted online.

There could be difficulty for traffic and pedestrians making their way through Bromley on the day because a counter-protest has been organised against the rally by groups including Unite Against Facism.

The counter-protest is inviting people to demonstrate at the same time at Bromley North railway station.

Britain First says it is "patriotic political party and street movement that opposes and fights the many injustices that are routinely inflicted on the British people".
