Britain First leader wants Britain to be ‘a fucking nightmare’

Britain First — The British far-right try to present themselves as the antidote to what they would have you believe is the sickness of multiculturalism. In reality, they’re a bunch of sad and angry people who desperately want the world to reflect their own self-loathing.

Never has this been more obvious than in the following clip:

🇬🇧 Far right extremist Paul Golding exposed in a secret recording:

"I want this country to become a shithole. I want this country to descend into a fucking nightmare"

Nightmare

The man in the video about is Paul Golding, the leader of Britain First. As Hope not Hate documented:

Golding first emerged into prominence in 1999 as a teenage member of the fascist British National Party (BNP), and was quickly appointed editor of the youth publication Excalibur. Given the title of Director of Publicity, Golding also briefly took the reins of the BNP’s flagship magazine, Identity, having established a close relationship with then-leader Nick Griffin.

Additionally:

In Belfast, Golding helped [Jim Dowson – far-right fundraiser] launch Britain First, returning to England in 2013 in the hopes of building links with the English Defence League and various splinters. Now at the helm of a confrontational new vehicle, Golding quickly gained notoriety for his extreme worldview, relentless fear-mongering and inflammatory actions, leading Britain First’s “patrols” and attempts to intimidate opponents. Examples include threatening to bury a pig at the site of a planned mosque in Dudley in order to “contaminate” the land and prevent its construction.

For some reason, Western fascists think Muslims are vulnerable to pigs in the same way that vampires are sensitive to garlic.

Well, we say ‘for some reason’ — we know what the reason is — it’s because they’re thick.

Hope not Hate added:

Branded a “narcissist” by a prominent former member, Golding’s temperament and tactics have been at the centre of many rifts within the group, including with Dowson, who quit the group in 2014, describing Golding’s “mosque invasions” as “provocative and counterproductive”, as well as “unacceptable and unchristian”.

To be fair, Jesus did cause a ruckus in a temple; it’s just he was going after money lenders — not everyday worshippers.

The British nightmare

In the undercover recording of Golding, he’s caught saying:

In ten years, society is going to be violent and horrific – a horrific place.

I’m not interested in appealing to the masses right now.

The moment that we’re waiting for is fast approaching.

I want this country to become a shithole.

I want this country to descend into a fucking nightmare.

Because that’s the only thing that’s going to get people off their backsides.

As is obvious from his other activities, Golding recognises that Britain isn’t a nightmare now, so he’s trying to turn it into one.

Basically, he’s like every other fascist in history.

No doubt because he knows he can’t function in a normal, caring society — only one in which cruelty is the default.

Britain First — ‘The fear’

Showing what kind of a man Golding is, Hope not Hate also reported the following about Golding:

Golding, who for a time was in a relationship with the now-former Deputy Leader Jayda Fransen, was recorded in December 2015 admitting to having violently attacked her, as well as another woman. Fransen told the BBC in 2019 that the abuse went on for five years, and “didn’t take long to start” after she joined Britain First in 2014. She said: “There were incidents that could have gone so badly wrong. I could have ended up really hurt or worse. I guess that is where the fear came in because I thought I am going to end up dead”.

Clearly, it’s Golding himself who’s the “fucking nightmare”.
