Britain First, the controversial far-right political party, may be on the brink of collapse with their leader and candidate for Mayor of London, Paul Golding, currently polling one per cent of first-preference votes.
Their video shows deputy leader Jayda Fransen telling customers: “Look at all these people here buying halal-slaughtered meat. You are in Great Britain. Halal slaughter is barbaric. How can you live with yourselves? Look at you, every single one of you. This is a Christian country and the Bible says no Christian should eat meat offered to a false god.”
“My grandfather fought for this country and he didn’t do that for you people to turn it into little Pakistan by you people carrying out these barbaric practices for a disgusting, vile ideology.”
Despite marketing themselves as protectors of British and Christian morality, major Christian denominations have distanced themselves from the political party.
