Bedfordshire Police has applied for an injunction to ban Britain First, an anti-Islamic political party, from attending any Mosques, Islamic cultural centres, or private Islamic groups in England and Wales without “prior written permission.
The proposed ban extends to a restriction on the group’s leader, Paul Golding, and his assistant, Jayda Fransen, from entering Luton Bury Park.
TOUGH
Under the tough proposals designed to prevent any possibility of anti-social behaviour, Golding and Jayda, will be required to apply for permission even to enter Luton Center, and at best will be allowed once every two months under special arrangements by the police
A spokesperson for Bedfordshire Police told the eye of media.com that the application had arisen due to “harassment concerns”.
The spokesperson added that the proposed injunction is intended “to prevent any possibility of further harassment, disorder, or antisocial behaviour, that could arise as a result of further visits to Islamic communities by the pair.
RADICAL
Britain First are a radical far right political party, with a Christian ideology, known for their invasion of mosques, Islamic places of business, and anti-Islam protests, with a confrontational approach to Muslims.
They often condemn Muslim practices and have emphasised Britain’s historic foundations when addressing Islamic members of Luton.
The party stresses the view that British nationals should always be prioritised over foreign nationals, and appear to consider Muslims as a threat to Britain’s national security.
They also strongly resent the killing of animals for the purpose of ‘halal’ and have been very blunt in expressing their disapproval to Muslim butchers whilst in the course of killing animals.
Cops believe their approach could stir religious hatred and lead to conflict that can get out of hand if allowed to continue.
LICENSE
Britain First insist that if such a ban is permitted, it will give other police forces, the license to impose similar injunctions, and this will destroy theirs. ability to operate as a party.
Cops applied last year for an injunction against the Golding and Fransen but were unsuccessful at the time.
However, in light of further protests and the associated tensions between the Britain First political party that has resulted, cops expect to be successful in their application this time.
The eye of media.com will be present in court when the case is heard next month.
