Public thank Britain First for winning world war one



The British public have come together as one to thank BNP splinter group Britain First who according to their social media posts appear to have won World War One.

One adoring fan told us “They’re my heroes. You won’t find them travelling and learning about new cultures because they’re too busy protecting Britain.. But they must have left the country at some point. How else would they have won World War One? And given that that started 100 years ago, they’re still looking quite youthful I must add.”

Britain First leader and former BNP councillor Paul Golding told us “Every time you buy a poppy, you've joined Britain First, even though we’re not allowed to sell them ourselves and veterans won’t touch us with a barge poll. But we’ll use a picture of a poppy to publicise our vitriolic Facebook page. And that’s because World War One was fought against the Muslims.

“It’s a complete misconception that by marching around pissed up and on amphetamines, shouting racist slogans and attacking mosques we distort the image of Britain as a tolerant nation and actually engender extremism amongst young British Muslims. Absolutely wrong. Couldn't be further from the truth.”

One spectator at one of the many World War One commemorations held today said “It’s superb that they can organise all this. I thought they just started fights in pubs. But it’s comforting to know that they’re fighting for the best interests of every man, woman and child in Britain as opposed to just being a bunch of middle aged thugs who on finding themselves incapable of relating to other cultures choose instead to do the one thing that fits into their limited comfort zone which is try and have a punch up.”

...who has a rule of automatically unfriending and unfollowing anyone who shares "Britain First" bollocks on Farcebook or Tw@tter.

Stupid friends you have on Facebook are persisting in sharing Britain First’s posts, despite it being obvious that the organisation is a bunch of Nazi fuckwits, it emerged today. The arrival of remembrance season has made your less intelligent acquaintances even more tiresome than usual, with many happy to share a photo of Hitler provided it has a poppy and a starving dog in the picture.

Hopes had been high that even the most disappointing of your friends would have realised by now that sharing these posts is the online equivalent of wearing your own faeces as a hat, but sadly the penny seems yet to drop.

Given that remote Peruvian jungle tribes have by now learned to dismiss the ravings of this bunch of fascist arsepipes, you were well within your rights to expect that Gary who you used to work with would also have caught on to Britain First’s nasty side, but a glance at your news feed this morning was enough to dash all hopes.

Particularly depressing is the fact that these friends used to seem fairly nice, if slightly boring, leaving you now uncertain whether they were actually always stupider than you thought, or have actually always been closet racists just waiting for a dubious story about animal welfare as an excuse for coming out.

They get more and more ridiculous every day.

On a more serious note, I think it's pretty sick for neo-Nazis to jump on a bandwagon of commemoration for veterans, given that those of WW2 fought and died fighting AGAINST Nazis and fascists.
