Facebook bans Britain First from the social network after hate speech sentencing

The official Facebook page of Britain First has been removed by Facebook following the leaders’ recent conviction for religiously-aggravated harassment dating back to last year.

Paul Golding was given an 18-week sentence, whilst Jayda Fransen was given 36 weeks in jail. Their official Facebook profiles have also been removed by Facebook.

Despite continued warnings from Facebook, the group continued to breach rules.

“Content posted on the Britain First Facebook page and the pages of party leaders Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen has repeatedly broken our Community Standards,” Facebook said.

“We recently gave the administrators of the pages a written final warning, and they have continued to post content that violates our Community Standards.

“As a result, in accordance with our policies, we have now removed the official Britain First Facebook page and the pages of the two leaders with immediate effect.

“We do not do this lightly, but they have repeatedly posted content designed to incite animosity and hatred against minority groups, which disqualifies the Pages from our service.”
