Far-right group Britain First has started a campaign of self-described ‘Christian Patrols’ in East London, driving through Brick Lane and Whitechapel handing out anti-Muslim leaflets.

The group claims to be making, ‘Our streets safe for our people,’ and has restarted its patrols after a hiatus of six months, in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

Video footage of a patrol showed chairman Paul Golding handing out leaflets on the street in Brick Lane calling for mosques and niqabs to be banned.


The leaflets claim that, ‘Muslim patrols are operating in this area confiscating alcohol and harassing women.’

Group activists describe the area they move through as ‘Occupied London.’



Police are shown stepping in to prevent the group’s ‘patrol’.

Local MP Rushanara Ali, for Bethnal Green and Bow said, ‘Time and again, people in the East End have come together to reject hatred and intolerance.

‘The divisive rhetoric of fringe groups such as ‘Britain First’ has no place in our East End, the proud home to one of the most vibrant and diverse communities in the UK.
