Britain First deputy leader in court over Islamophobic posts

BRITAIN First deputy leader Jayda Fransen called Muslims “bastards” and “rapists,” a court was told yesterday.

The 31-year-old appeared at Folkestone magistrates’ court alongside the far-right group’s leader Paul Golding on charges of religiously aggravated harassment.

They were arrested in May 2017 over the distribution of hate leaflets and online videos posted during a rape trial at Canterbury Crown Court in which three men and a teenager were convicted and jailed.
