UNION Jack flag-bearing supporters of Paul Golding, the chairman of political party Britain First, insist they are not racists as they protest outside Chelmsford Magistrates Court today.
The 32-year-old, of Sprucedale Road in Swanley, Kent, is charged with harassing Munazza Munawar at her home in Hepburn Close in Chafford Hundred on April 3, last year.
He is also charged with "wearing uniform signifying association with a political organisation, namely his Britain First uniform".
He denied the two charges at a preliminary Basildon Magistrates' Court hearing in September.
But members of the group feel they have been unfairly demonised by the liberal media.
The controversial group readily admit that they may rile certain sectors of society with their provocative values, but they are quick to disassociate themselves with far right political party, the British National Party.
A spokesman for the party, who does not want to be named for fear of harassment from left wing campaigners, said: "We are not racists and we have nothing to do with the BNP.
"We just want British culture to come first and we want out of the EU.
"We believe that as a country we are capable of looking after our own affairs without interference from Brussels.
"We also want to eradicate Islamic radicalism from these shores."
Despite boasting a Facebook following of over 600,000 people, only around 20 supporters turned up to rally for their leader, most of them dressed in their Britain First hoodies.
