Britain First activists from the North West spent Saturday afternoon campaigning against plans to turn a church into a mosque in the small Lancashire town of Colne.

More than 1,000 local residents have signed a petition against these plans, but the council are ramrodding them through.

In April this year, a planning application by Madina Mosque was made to Pendle Council to convert the listed Saint Bartholomews Church School on Exchange Street, Colne, into a Mosque.

The plan includes creating a single-storey extension to the back, side and front of the existing building.

Later in the today, a few car loads of Muslim thugs from nearby Nelson and Burnley harassed our activists.

The police arrived and dealt with them swiftly.

The full video report will be out shortly.
