Not long after the attack on Jo Cox MP last week that led to her death, the far-right group Britain First released a video deploring the attacks.

But there is a big whiff of hypocrisy here.

The video by Britain First leader Paul Golding responded to the attack after it emerged the attacked had yelled “Britain first” at the incident.

Two eye-witness later confirmed to newspapers that they had indeed heard someone shout “Britain first”.

Here’s how Golding starts off in the video:

This is a terrible day for our democracy, for our Parliamentary system. Our MPs, Members of Parliament, are the representatives of the people, and they have been for over 400 years now.

So this is a very dark day for our country and for our democracy.

This is odd – Britain First claim to be very eager to protect and praise elected representatives.

But does that only apply to non-Muslims?

The far-right group recently threatened Muslim officials, saying they would drive them out of politics.

Britain First now considers all Muslim elected officials as “occupiers” and will start to oppose their strategy of entryism and take-over of our political system.

Our intelligence led operations will focus on all aspects of their day-to-day lives and official functions, including where they live, work, pray and so on.

Britain First has an official policy of banning Islam in the UK and will not stop until all Islamist occupiers are driven out of politics completely.

Sadiq Khan was elected by 1.3 million Britons, far more than any other MP or votes

Was the attack on Jo Cox the kind of ‘miliant direct action’ they were referring to?
