Britain's Far Right Activists Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine The controversy surrounding Daniel Thomas, co founder of the Patriot Platform, has highlighted a worrying trend in Britain: the blurring of lines between legitimate community concerns and far right extremism.

Thomas's latest stunt, where he threatened to descend upon Piddington with thousands of masked followers, has been met with outrage from local residents and authorities.
