The words got a bit mixed up but I hope it made sense!

Yes☺️

If the police don’t arrest and prosecutions aren’t forthcoming, they will think they’ve got free rein on this.

It fills me with despair that these people with their hateful agenda are targeting asylum seekers who have lost through so much no fault of their own, before arriving in this country hoping for safety. I'd hate them to think this is representative of the British people. It's so shameful.

These people would undoubtedly identify with the White Supremicists.

One has just been jailed until he dies in NZ.

They are extremely dangerous and evil and should be stopped.

Goddard is a charmer. Why do they all have that thuggish look about them?

Is it an illegal organisation? If not, it should be.

A huge war was fought to stop these sort of people. They don’t belong in the U.K.

Sorry, it was before the election, not the leadership contest. They were "encouraged" by Johnson's hardline attitude towards Islam.

The government has been forced to put barriers, fences and other protective measures around hotels housing asylum seekers following a spate of raids by extremist groups.

Far-right activists have been filming and harassing migrants in hotels providing accommodation for the Home Office during the coronavirus pandemic.

She encouraged Britain First members to join the Conservative Party last year to vote for the leader they wanted. Apparently, 5000 of them did.

They've vowed that they'll "hunt down" every migrant housed in a hotel and have already been warned by police for similar actions in other hotels.

What I found alarming is the badge that they wore. Do we know anything about this group of thugs?

It's Britain First. The woman in the video is Ashlea Simon (aka Ashlea Robyn) who is the girlfriend of James Goddard (Google him). She was questioned by counter-terrorism police last year.

I saw the footage on twitter.

I didn’t know that the police have been made aware.

I hope these wretched people are stopped pdq

Where can I see this Whitewavemark2? Disgraceful- are the police aware?

Yes, they are aware.

Video footage has emerged of members of a far right group entering a place of safety and refuge for migrants and showing them knocking on doors saying that as tax payers they have every right to question these people.

It sent shivers down my spine as it seemed to echo the behaviour in 1930s Germany.
