A bunch of snowflakes have forced Britain First to cancel their rally in Belfast.

Oh, the delicious irony.

The controversial far-right group were due to fly to Northern Ireland today to protest against the arrest of deputy leader Jayda Fransen.

Organised by Fransen and independent unionist councillor Jolene Bunting, it was scheduled to take place at 3pm in the city centre.


But Fransen appeared in a Twitter video along with leader Paul Golding to say their rally had been postponed because of the weather.

Heavy snow has hit parts of the UK today, causing airports up and down the country to cancel a number of flights.



Golding said: ‘Unfortunately because of this snow storm that’s causing chaos at airports we’re not going to be able to make it over to Belfast today.

‘We’ve been stranded here at the airport for a good three to four hours now and the snow storm is showing no sign of abating whatsoever.

‘We’re not going to make it over to Belfast now. We’re going to have to postpone the Belfast rally that was supposed to take place at 3pm until the new year.’

Fransen, 31, was arrested in Bromley last month over a speech she made in Belfast by the Police Service of Northern Ireland – but needs to make it over to Belfast to appear in court on Thursday.

She has been bailed to appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court on December 14 charged with hate speech offences.

A statement on the event’s Facebook page says: ‘The PSNI and the PPS are prosecuting Britain First NI leader Jayda Fransen for giving an ‘anti-Islamic’ speech!

‘Jayda has been charged and is currently on bail awaiting trial.

‘Join us in Belfast to demand free speech for Jayda and for these charges to be dropped.’
