Britain First exposed as a money scam groupBritain First a group set up by ex-BNPer's run by Jim Dowson (the former BNP's fundraiser who raised £1.9 million for Nick Griffin which then mysteriously vanished) has been exposed as a money scam group.
You can find their website here -
http://www.britainfirst.org/
They claim to be a ''patriotic'' pressure group.
They go to towns and set up stalls claiming they are recieving donations for British troops. However the money they take doesn't go to British troops, it goes directly to the BF organisation as exposed in the video. Furthermore they have no license to sell on the street. When a British army veteren cameras them on the street, the BF stall is packed up and one of the BF guys is seen running away with the money box of all the cash he has collected!
Watch these two videos -

Re: Britain First exposed as a money scam groupJust like the vast majority of charities.
Just look at UNICEF collectors on the streets.
Always with the emotive pictures and language about starving children. Never a word about how much of the donation actually gets to these starving children.
Truth is that the vast majority goes to pay administration costs and director's salaries. Only a couple of percent of donations actually reaches the front end. -

Re: Britain First exposed as a money scam groupWell, I'd like to see your evidence for that, as it is a wild departure from UNICEF's claims of roughly 5% spend on admin and 73% on their aid projects.(Original post by marcusfox)
