Britain First lie on BBC about Facebook control

The BBC has documented Britain First in a 3 minute clip documenting how far-right groups such as them, have grown via social media.

In the 3 minute video, Britain First’s leader Paul Goulding was questioned about posts written by supporters on its Facebook page. An image of a comment is used as an example in the BBC video which reads: “For every sausage eaten or rasher of bacon we should chop off a Muslims head”.

Goulding arged: “You gotta remember that a Facebook page is public. We have no control whatsoever over who posts on there.”

Although it is true anyone can post on the Britain First Facebook page, it is certainly not true that Britain First admins have no control over what is posted.

Countless people, who have commented arguing with them, questioning them about policies and what they stand for, as well as insulting them, have been banned from the group by Britain First admins. This happens on a regular basis.

Britain First admins also comment on user posts when it suits them, like below.


So they do infact have control, a good amount, over their page.

You can watch the video here.
