Extra police patrols in Rotherham after Britain First targets mosques

EXTRA police patrols have been mobilised in Rotherham in South Yorkshire after the fascist Britain First group targeted mosques over the town’s sexual-exploitation issue.

For five years Rotherham has been subjected to incursions by racists after a group of Asian men were jailed, having been found guilty of involvement in grooming girls for sex.

Although the town’s Muslim community roundly condemned the men, the far right has been using the issue to attempt to drive wedges between communities.
