Britain First Claim Victory Over BBC's 'We Want Our Country Back' Despite General Ridicule

Britain First Fail To Notice Most Of The Internet Mocking Them After BBC Doc
|

Despite being roundly trounced on social media, Britain First have claimed a documentary following their attempts to "ban all trace of Islam from the UK" did nothing to harm their reputation.

'We Want Our Country Back' aired on BBC Three on Tuesday night and saw film director Miles Blayden-Ryall investigate the pseudo-political party as they tried to drum up support around the UK.

The programme featured clips of the group harassing innocent restaurant owners, briefly holding a "no more mosques" banner outside a mosque before running away, and shouting "go back to the desert" to an Asian man on the street.

Despite this the group maintained throughout they were not racist and after the show aired they declared victory over the BBC.

They wrote...

"Is that all they can throw at us? Is that the worst the BBC can do?

"Well, that was pretty much exactly what we expected!

"True to form the BBC pulled out all the stops to try and condemn us for our love of Britain and label us as “racists”.

"What they probably didn’t bank on was the public reaction which has been evident on social media showing an abundance of support for Britain First."

Evidence of this support included...

Generally the response was more like this as #WeWantOurCountryBack became the top UK trend...

One place Britain First can rely on support from is the comments section of their Facebook page where the top comments were...

"TheAs I've commented earlier the bbc have not changed my views on Britain First if anything just reinforced them, this country needs the likes of Paul and Jayda"

"The programme was an absolute disgrace. We shouldn't be surprised though, the BBC are quite clearly biased and obviously support the Muslims. The programme was edited to make Britain First look like thugs."

"There are a lot of do gooders in here. Join the army and fight for your country, don't have a go at someone trying to defend it. The U.K. Should not have to adapt for other people, religions or races. Don't like it, feel free to go. Carry on Britain First you doing a great job"

"Dont see any police arresting the muslims"

But the group's claim to be a "Christian" organisation was heavily called into question...

Despite all this Britain First claimed...

"After launching what was clearly a personal attack on Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen and our loyal Britain First comrades, the BBC seem to have achieved the undesired effect of making us more popular.

"Paul and Jayda have personally received over 1,000 messages of support from people who tuned in to watch the leftwing attack on our patriotism and Christian faith.

"Much like the last documentary, we expect the result of that sixty-minute hatchet job will be an influx of new members who are sick of being labelled and criticised for loving our country.

"So nice try BBC, better luck next time.

"After two consecutive victories over the BBC in their pathetic attempts at defaming our movement, we are now more determined than ever."

But there was some hope...

And while Britain First were worried the documentary tarnished their image, here are some recent activities upon which they've already built a reputation.

In fact the 'Christian' group already have such a bad reputation that Church of England clergy recently wrote an open letter slamming their attitude to Muslims.

When one of Ukip's candidates had to stand down after using the word "chinky", they blamed it on the side effects of his medication. The media made fun of it and moved on, as usual.But that didn't stop perennial self-parody Nigel Farage from bringing it up again on LBC, defending the casual racism.The Ukip leader claimed that such terms were acceptable if you grew up on a council estate. Right. (credit:SAV via Getty Images)

Seemingly stuck in 1945 when his behaviour would be considered a bloody good romp, Jeremy Clarkson was at the centre of two race rows this year after using the term "Slope" in an episode of Top Gear and singing a not-so-politically-correct version of eeny-meeny during filming.

Former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay was at the centre of a fairly big storm as his private texts were revealed, in which he managed to offend pretty much everyone.

Malky's defence for his casual racism? "It's all just banter, really."

Wigan boss Dave Whelan came under fire for hiring Malky Mackay as the team's manager due to Mackay's history of casual racism. But it turns out, Whelan was just as bad.

While defending his appointment of Malky, Whelan managed to offend Chinese and Jewish people, while also making it clear that he didn't really understand why anyone was pissed off.

He even used the phrase "some of my best friends are Jewish and Chinese" during a shoddy attempt at apologising.

Media mogul Murdoch, who owns 20th Century Fox, stuck his foot in it while defending Ridley Scott's decision to make a film about Egypt using an entirely white cast.

When accused of white-washing history, he tried to justify it by saying "all the Egyptians I know are white". Infallible logic there, Rupe.

Trouble-magnet Mario was charged by the FA after posting an incredibly offensive joke on Instagram.

Balo thought it would be OK because he's black and his mum is jewish, but it turns out it wasn't OK. Because people still found it offensive. Funny, that.
