Britain First attempted to 'confront' European immigrants. It didn't go very well

Britain First have been keeping busy since their humiliation in the London mayoral elections.

Recent weekend expeditions include being kicked out of Leicester city centre twice, 'invading' a halal slaughterhouse, and a spot of camping.

It appears that this weekend deputy leader Jayda Fransen got stuck in with a bit of on-the-hoof vigilantism.

In a video posted to Britain First's Facebook page on Saturday evening, she says that a few members of the group were leaving Mansfield train station when they noticed a 'migrant camp' - ie, a solitary tent - nearby.

There's apparently a woman inside, who tells Fransen she's from Latvia and she's waiting for her boyfriend to come back.

Fransen flags down a police car and a community support officer who appears more bemused than anything else. And when the boyfriend turns up, Fransen and co aggressively chase him down the street.

It's the classic Schrodinger's immigrant paradox: these people are apparently a drain on the uK's social services and jobs market.

And yet, they're in such financial difficulty they can't afford a fixed abode - and clearly no one is paying for a council house.

Which sort of neatly undoes the entire point Fransen is trying to make.
