1. Britain First have a huge presence on social media....
On Facebook Britain First has a whopping 1.95 million Likes and 1.75 million followers. That’s more 'likes' than the Conservatives and Labour combined, Their Facebook wall is full of high-quality videos, interviews, seemingly innocuous patriotic memes and some incredibly long comment threads. However despite the large number of followers, commentators have noticed that many of them are people from outside of the UK (somewhat surprisingly for a nationalist group), many might not realise Britain First is a far right party and the group is heavily reliant on paid advertising. As such, it’s pretty hard to make sense of the political significance of this 1.7 million – but nonetheless the potential audience for their content is clearly huge.
