<p style="text-align: justify;">The English Democrats have absorbed<a href="https://www.hopenothate.org.uk/hate-groups/edp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> previous supporters</a> of the British National Party and the Party has failed miserably to make any major political headway in the past. Given the comments we have found around Islam and Muslims, the English Democrats certainly are far from the centre political ground.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No doubt, they will remain an irrelevance in the Police and Crime Commissioner elections for Kent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We thought we would respond to his tweets below.</p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><em>Editor: Quick question – the way that reads is rather weird and thank you for suggesting that any allegation of rape or grooming will be investigated when reported by Muslim men. We think that what you wanted to say was that any allegation of rape or grooming conducted by ‘Muslim men,’ would be investigated. How charming of you to suggest that rape or grooming is linked to Islam or Muslims, as if their faith drives them to it. This is another case of ‘make it up as you go along.’  In case you were not aware, the vast majority of rape cases statistically involve non-Muslims and we should be talking less about this but rather ensuring that the safety of women is enhanced. We should also be talking about reducing the culture of violence in the minds of some men who think that women are sexual objects. This is about power, rather than faith driving men.</em></p>
<p><em>Also, just aside from that, there is the small little matter of the fact that any such complaint is <strong>already</strong> looked into by the police – you seemed to have missed this out. According to your tweet, it seems that only complaints about Muslims will be investigated. You do realise that you are slowly giving the public the opinion that you are…..not very informed on matters.</em></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Editor: Ban the Burqa Steve – Burqa with a ‘q’. Er, not a major issue the last time we were in Dartford, Kent, we did not see large swathes of women donning the burqa or is this one more element of your bizarre judgements made about Muslims. Judging by previous comments – you might want to rethink this one.</em></p>

The group that brought you slogans like ‘<em>Taking Britain Back</em>‘, have managed to wage a campaign that has left many people startled and others stating that change must start at the bottom. It has left some supporters of this far right group aghast since some feel that their desire to join an extremist has been hijacked – by Britain First mounting an anti-Haribo sweets campaign!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yes, these ‘Templar Knights’, these defenders of Jerusalem, (which we will come to later), have managed to find a problem with Haribo sweets and have picked a fight. In a desire to challenge the ‘Halal’ element of Haribo sweets, Britain First have mounted a campaign to put the ‘G’ back into Haribo Funny Mix sweets, since the removal of gelatine means that practising Muslims can be sure that there is no pork gelatine in the sweets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So these battalions of righteousness have taken the fight ‘against the evils of Halal’ to the Haribo Funny Mix sweet packets and we will no doubt be trailing their campaign with some interest. You never know, after the Haribo Funny Mix, they might just start on the Refreshers!</p>
<p><a href="https://tellmamauk.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Haribo.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6314" src="https://tellmamauk.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Haribo.jpg" alt="Haribo sweets and Britain First" width="537" height="398" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, not to be outdone, the Templar Knights of Peckham have been advertising a Britain First march in Burton that is to take place in October against what they have termed a ‘mega mosque.’ To advertise the mega mosque, the Templar Knights have thought that Burton is in fact, Jerusalem, and have managed to place a picture of the Dome of the Rock mosque on the Al-Haram Al Sharif, as though it were in Burton. Yes, they simply have lost their way again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our simple advice to anyone looking to follow or support the work of Britain First would be this. If their idea of social change is attempting to wave a packet of Haribo sweets around or place mosques in Jerusalem in the location of Burton, some 3,000 miles away, do you actually feel confident in their abilities to do anything to ‘Take Britain Back?’ Ladies and gentlemen, we rest our case.</p>
