More than two million people had liked the group's Facebook page. The pages of Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen also had large followings. Facebook says the decision to remove the pages was made after Britain First had ignored a final warning about the posting of material that broke its community standards.
Prime Minister Theresa May told the House of Commons that she welcomed the move and hoped other tech companies would follow.
Good that social media companies are finally taking some responsibility for what is posted on their platforms. Been turning a blind eye to things for far too long.

In a blog, Facebook said it was an open platform for all ideas but that political views should be expressed without hate.
"People can express robust and controversial opinions without needing to denigrate others on the basis of who they are."

Ahh the 'hate' word. All encompassing and includes anything that anyone might be offended by.
Note: Applies almost exclusively to views opposing the multi culturalism balls up.

You don't have to offend anyone you simply have to 'ANNOY' that is the official word - well, actually 'ANNOYING' 1984 is here lurking with us. Of course you cannot go around abusing people with racist carp but to have an opposite opinion is fine. But no longer is there open debate. It is all about control and the narrative. Dark days ahead. I am thinking about the tamworth 1000 as I type. Then the first big court case at Liverpool they tried to clamp down on.

you will - the progressives have a very tight hold on the so called moral high ground - you won't have a chance - radical or alternative opinions are not allowed - it is intellectually moribund. I am appalled at the lack of any scientific approach to societal issues. I have no idea what happened to sociological methodology. One HAS to examine all avenues and alternatives.
Journalism has gone down the pan. They no longer investigate. See what happens if you do - Look at the guy from the Times who took 4 years to get through to anyone in authority. He was accused of racism. It is like a horse race. Once they start they all rush off in the same direction all following one another. Swept along by the mass hysteria that develops. They are doing it with putin, they did it with the moral panic around mods and rockers(I was there) and so on. It only takes a small vociferous group to grab an issue and start making lots of noise and the politicos and businesses run for cover their knees knocking together in fright at the thought they may look bad. etc etc

To be fair BF are not very subtle. The 'islamaphobic and proud' post wouldn't have done them any favours!
Plenty of people and groups are sensibly questioning Islam on various platforms and (for now) are allowed to do so. BF are a bit dense in their approach if not their overrall sentiment.
Dame Louise Casey' review is a case in point. In it she says: That while segregation has reduced over the population as a whole, in a number of local areas ethnic or migrant groups have become increasingly divided.
That fears of being labelled racist have prevented society from challenging sexist, misogynistic and patriarchal behaviour in some minority communities.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Casey said people should be able to discuss such issues without being “worried about being called racist or Islamophobic”.

No social worker would want to risk their job - same with police and any other agency. Would you put your job on the line?? We live in a very twisted society.

They should be risking their jobs by letting these people get away with it.
Until they start sacking social workers and police for turning a blind eye to these people, they'll continue to abuse our laws and our kids.

Britain First are odious scumbags as far as I am concerned.
Took FB a while to come to this conclusion as the stuff BF post now is no different to earlier stuff. Detest FB. They have refused to remove some horrendous items in the past quoting freedom of expression.

Best example Denzil. Football lads alliance has had two marches through London, up to ten thousand football lads (hoolighan's who would knock the granny out of each other on any other day) not one single arrest. Now you'd think a demonstration that large bringing central London to a standstill would make the news ! Not a dicky bird ! Reason..................government D notice which in case you don't know is an order to the media not to report on something as it could lead to civil unrest.
