Re: 'Ukip: The First Hundred Days'
Scaremongering?
Remember, it was positing that UKIP would win the Election - that's not fiction, it's fantasy....

But did it not have similarities to "Hitler's Britain" which that was docu-rama predicting fear that didn't happen because it was historical based., The First Hundred Days is intended to have an effect on a future by scaremongering to deter people from voting for UKIP.

Yes, it would appear that Britain first (a group too extreme even for Jim Dowson - its founder - who said at the time of his resignation "the group is being overrun with racists and extremists") have played a part in this.
Far-right group orchestrated email campaign over Ukip drama.
"A significant proportion of the 6,500 complaints made about a controversial film imagining the early days of a Ukip government were the result of an orchestrated campaign by a far-right group known for its paramilitary style actions, the Guardian has learned."
Cardigan.

I didn't miss it out, it's there for all to see for anyone who follows the link.
Others who follow the link will also see that Britain First themselves claim to have sent 2100 complaints, the Guardian are simply saying they couldn't confirm those figures.

They were produced by the same person, Richard Bond.

Yes. I wouldn't put anything past Britain First and I think the Guardian are right to question their claims as to the numbers they say have protested via their site.
That aside, and back to the main thrust of the story, it's interesting that a far right grouping would be offended on behalf of another right grouping. Interesting that our so called "Patriots" are so thin skinned, don't you think?

Re: 'Ukip: The First Hundred Days'
This could so easily tie in with the "are we being offended too easily" thread. As Mr A says, it's ironic that a far right group is being offended on behalf of another with similar views, considering it's often often members of either who are commenting when lefties get offended on behalf of minorities or protected groups.
If I was a stereotypical hardcore Ukipper I doubt I'd be offended in reality - what Bond's mockumentary showed was a vision of Britain that a lot of right-wingers seem to want. Robust enforcement of the removal of illegal immigrants, a 'Festival of Britain' bank holiday etc, all seeming to fall in line with what it appears they'd like.
