A HIGH Court judge has refused an injunction application by Bedfordshire Police preventing Britain First leaders Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen from entering ‘and its surrounding area’ for a year.

The judgement was made today at a High Court hearing ahead of the far-right group’s march in the town tomorrow (June 27).

However, an interim injunction was handed down which prevents the pair from carrying or displaying banners with the words ‘No More Mosques’ at the event.

The injunction states that it bans either Golding or Fransen (either by themselves or by instructing or encouraging or giving permission to any other person) from:


  • Entering any mosque or Islamic Cultural Centre or its private grounds within England or Wales without prior written invitation.
  • Publishing, distributing or displaying, or causing to be published, distributed or displayed any words or images, whether electronic or otherwise which having regard to all the circumstances are likely to stir up religious and/or racial hatred.
  • Using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour thereby causing harassment, alarm or distress to any person.
  • Carrying or displaying in Luton on Saturday, 27 June, at or in connection with the march by ‘Britain First’ any banner or sign with the words ‘No More Mosques’, or similar words or words to like effect.

The police were also given the power of arrest should either party breach any of the terms of the injunction.

A full hearing will be held at a later date.

Chief Superintendent David Boyle said: “This injunction was sought due to concerns that their presence in Luton could increase the possibility of disorder and anti-social behaviour in the town.

“The terms which have been agreed today give us greater power to ensure that order is kept in the town during the demonstration.

“I would like to be clear that it was never our intention to ban any demonstration and we will always facilitate peaceful protest where possible.

“We have a policing plan in place to ensure we meet the needs of those wishing to demonstrate.”

  • Britain First will assemble in Midland Road outside Luton Railway Station then proceed along High Town Road, turn right into Burr Street, right into Hitchin Road and Church Street then right into Guildford Street before finishing on land adjacent to Bute Street ‘shoppers’ car park. Bute Street car park will remain open for people to use. Restrictions on the demonstration mean it must take place and be completed between 1pm and 4pm on Saturday.

    WILL NO-ONE STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY AND DECENCY IN LUTON AND ENGLAND?
    Racist remark against English by Cllr D Taylor whose reward was to be made Mayor! Luton Labour MP states his inspiration as an MP is the Muslim Faith.
    New Mayor of Luton has an outstanding racist complaint made to Luton Council in February 2015 – having praised several ethnic groups, he went on to say that the indigenous English do nothing for each other! The only response was an acknowledgement saying that it would be investigated and then they made him mayor!
    Luton’s Labour MP for Luton South Gavin Shuker stated in an article last year that his inspiration as an MP is the Muslim faith! Not that he admired this faith but that it was his inspiration as an MP.
    For years Luton council has denigrated English customs, beliefs and history while spending much time and our money on promoting all sorts of ethnic groups and prattling on about harmony, respect and multi-culturism. Respect should begin with those who built and died and are still dying for this country – failure to do this will turn the most tolerant people into racists.
    Sadly it is not just Luton – our judicial system and officialdom in general seem hell bent on ignoring our laws in favour of others – recently a woman judge, sitting on a case where an Indian man who had arrived 5 years ago on a 6 month visa, was accused of beating his 6 year old son with a belt, stated that police and social services should take other cultural beliefs into account for newly arrived migrants!! He was not newly arrived and had overstayed his visa by four and a half years – he should have been deported immediately. No doubt we had to pay a fortune in legal fees when English people are denied legal redress if their own a house.

    PS Jonathan Vernon Smith on three counties radio this week had a tremendous response to his show with people saying how they feel strangers in their own country and ignored. Please listen on Mon 29 June 10am You can call 034959 455555 or e-mail [email protected] and let him know your views

    Our lost ones, our past fought one’s, our previous heroes would be so proud of this one for justice to prevail on such a movement that is so determined to correct the wrong doings and to make their voices heard that Enough is Enough regardless of how many people saying Britain First is racist – we couldn’t possibly be racist because we are to nice to those wanting to live here but unfortunately they do just more than that and then moan as us for drawing the line! It doesn’t matter how much money there is money cannot buy democracy or buy the force to take away others rights, intelligence or common sense. Now its quite simple that we as a country do not mind people coming here to live with us to better their lives but if they are gonna upset us abuse our system spread hatred on the streets like british Police go to hell or British soldiers burn in hell etc let alone the Rotherham atrocity then the right minds of the country are going to do something about it. I mean if we went to their country and done the same thing then we would be slung out like no tomorrow! One of the biggest reasons why I support BF is originally what it stands for Britain First, that’s right – why should we be a second priority in our own country? Britain First = Taking our country back!

    Absolutely no police force should have the power to stop peaceful protesters simply because they disagree with the message. This was an outright attack on speech and should not be allowed to happen. The fact that they can’t say "No more Mosques" is total BS. There are too many third world immigrants not assimilating into first world culture and I applaud Britain first for speaking out before they lose their country like France has lost theirs.

    I am glad that the police lost their case. I think that it is disgusting and appalling that they tried to stop the leaders of Britain First from participating in their own march tomorrow. The police are so ready to jump on the actions of upright British citizens, while doing nothing about hatred being preached by muslims in this country. If the media & political atmosphere in this country werent so ‘far left’, then Britain First wouldnt be considered ‘far right’, but centre! And dont even bother saying my remarks are racist, because that would just prove that you have no real argument against the problem that British police have become racist themselves in attempting to squash the rights of white people to protest what is happening in this country.
