Britain First leader Paul Golding ‘has his nose broken in prison attack’ by two inmates days after being jailed for abusing Muslims
Twisted Golding, 36, was left with a broken news when he was set on by a pair of inmates at HMP Elmley on Wednesday morning
BRITAIN First leader Paul Golding has been brutally attacked in prison - less than a week after he was caged for abusing Muslims.
Twisted Golding, 36, was left with a broken nose when he was set on by a pair of inmates at HMP Elmley on Wednesday morning.
Police officers in Kent confirmed they were investigating the assualt, which took place at the island prison between 4.15pm and 4.30pm on Wednesday.
The force refused to confirm the identity of the victim, but said: “The victim is alleged to have been punched by two other inmates, causing him to suffer minor facial injuries.
Last week Golding, was handed 18 weeks at Folkestone Magistrates' Court for three counts of religiously aggravated harassment, while his deputy Jayda Fransen, 31, was sentenced to nine months after being found guilty of four.
The far-right pair were arrested in May last year over the alleged distribution of leaflets and posting of online videos during a trial at Canterbury Crown Court, where three Muslim men and a teenager were convicted of rape and jailed.
Fransen allegedly went to the Kent home of one of the defendants, Tamin Rahmani, and shouted racist abuse through the front door.
His pregnant partner Kelli Best said she was alone with their two children, aged three years and 18 months, at the time of the incident on May 9 last year.
On a video played in court, Fransen could be seen banging on the door and shouting: "Come out and face me you disgusting rapist, come on."
Fransen denied using the phrase "Muslim bastards", or saying that all Muslims are rapists.
Golding said he was only acting as Fransen's cameraman, and that it was her campaign.
Judge Justin Barron said their words and actions "demonstrated hostility" towards Muslims and the Muslim faith.
The judge said: "I have no doubt it was their joint intention to use the facts of the case (in Canterbury) for their own political ends.
"It was a campaign to draw attention to the race, religion and immigrant background of the defendants."
Britain First is a far-right and British nationalist political party formed in 2011 by anti-abortion campaigner Jim Dowson and Paul Golding.
The group opposes mass immigration but says it is not racist but a loyalist movement.
