The much heralded Britain First roadshow ain't going too well. After being forced to cancel their Dartford meeting, Britain First were once again humiliated tonight after another pathetic turnout, this time in nearby Swanley.
Paul Golding (co-incidentally winner of this week's Crap Arrest) might have expected a better turn out in a town where he once was a BNP councillor. In the end though despite the last minute venue change and an attempt at eluding discovery* Britian First found themselves outnumbered and surrounded by anti-fascists.
After a 45 minute stand off they left escorted by police, with no local support.
Within minutes they had cancelled the next stop on the itinerary - Bristol, blaming 'adverse police action'. We're sure that's true and not in any way because they got cold feet at the thought of heading to a town with an even more fearsome ant-fascist reputation than Swanley.
**Top tip - while a Land Rover in desert camoflauge is probably great for lurking in a wadi in the Yemen it's a tad conspicous in a Kentish town centre.

P.S Anti-fascists also scored a notable win over far-right ninnyhammers South East Alliance today but more of that later.
P.S. The meeting up in Newcastle had about a dozen people. That just shows you what a 'legion' BF are. Pathetic. You'll disappear soon enough just like any other nationalist group before you.
Support against racism and fascism always get the "leftie pot smoking nutter" out and supporting. BF - you are not an army, you are not the IRA. You do not have Battalions or company's or carry out "Operations"
You pick on one group of people because of a few extremist nutters and in doing that, become extremist nutters.
nobody wants you in their town, that's why "Adverse Police activity" (a term made up by Britain First, which mean, "A lot of anti racists will be demonstrating because nobody wants us in their towns"
By all means keep wasting money travelling the UK with your hate roadshow. Hopefully the money will run out.
British people have a sense of humour - BF how about marching about in ridiculous uniforms pretending to be soldiers. Give us all a fucking good laugh...
Yeah you're I wasn't there. Figured it'd be hard to speak to a bunch of knuckle draggers. I might not have understood their grunts.
I've been at plenty of matches against groups like the EDL and BNP.
Also with regards to your dumb rhetoric there about BF being peaceful. Pull your head out of your arse you dumb ignorant moron. Just go look at their pages. BF. Not homophobic? Hmm BF Christians page seems to speak differently. You're delusional. Also your claims about the Quran, have you read the bible? It's violent, homophobic and incestuous as anything gets! I suggest you read it.
If you happen to be in the Newcastle area. Tell you what, meet me at the Benwell shopping centre at 1pm I'll be on my lunch then. I'd be more than happy to talk with you.
See you soon anonymous. Which I'm thinking you will remain. :-)

Did I miss any?
Police raiding the pub in Dronfield/ telling the landlord to cancel the meeting when in fact the landlord found out who they actually were (they'd booked under a fake identity) and barred them entry - Lie.
Caring about animal welfare - Lie
Using the poppy logo of the British Legion without permission - not technically a lie, but pretty pondlife-ish behaviour.
Using the image of Lee Rigby when Lee's family has specifically and repeatedly asked them not - also not technically a lie but the work of complete ballbags.
I'd like to say its sad seeing people being taken advantage of, but in the case of bigots I'll find a way to smile somehow.
