Britain First’s leaders have been arrested in Gravesend.

Leader Paul Golding and his deputy Jayda Fransen were apprehended at the town’s police station after being told to surrender themselves to police for voluntary interviews.

Bedfordshire police have been conducting an investigation after a demonstration by Britain First in Luton on January 23, which descended into violence.

They were arrested yesterday for wearing a uniform with political objective and have been conditionally bailed to appear before police on May 30.

The pair are not allowed to go back to Luton. They must sleep at a designated address each night, and report to Bromley police station every Saturday.

Speaking on a video filmed before the arrest and aired on the Britain First website, Fransen said: "They said that they want to arrest us for wearing political uniform and that there were other charges.

"When I asked what the other charges were they said they 'won't be questioned'."

Golding added: "We are not going to be interviewed unless we are arrested. We are not playing ball with these jumped up, jobsworth, ambulance-chasing idiots any more."

Bedfordshire Police confirmed the arrests of a 34-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman.
