Britain First members swore and forced their way into mosque

According to eyewitnesses, Britain First (BF) members swore and forced themselves into a mosque in Kent.


Police investigations have already started in Kent and London after three mosques were targeted by the extreme far right group, which has been targeting minority communities (the Muslim community in particular).

A spokesman for one of the mosques told the BBC: “At about three o’clock somebody knocked on the front door. There were six people with green jackets and flat caps and they said they wanted to come in. I said no, you can’t come in, I don’t know who you are.”

He said the group then forced their way in through the main door, but were stopped from going through a second door.

He added: “They were making videos, at the same time swearing, and saying we heard you’re building another mosque and we really resist that.”

Kent Police said: “Officers are making enquiries to establish the circumstances around the incidents and whether any criminal offences have been committed.”

The Right Reverend James Langstaff, Bishop of Rochester, said he thought Jesus would have been “outraged” at the targeting of the mosques.
