Britain First radicalises public with post likely to be untrue

In a previous article (here), we examined how far-right UK group Britain First shared a quote supposedly made by Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini that claimed he said that: “A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby...”

After research, we concluded that there is no evidence this quote ever existed, even though Britain First admins irrationally came to the conclusion it was a ‘true quote’.

But because Britain First said it was true, gullible Britain First supporters (and those who are not) immediately had their emotions stirred.

Without checking whether what Britain First posted was true, people voiced outrage and some even went to the lengths of posting up comments some may find extreme. It seems they were directed at mainly those of the Muslim faith.

Here are some disturbing ones we found on the Facebook page.

This is yet another example of how groups such as Britain First are feeding extremism.
