Britain First leaders Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen outside Belfast Magsitrates’ Court last week

A 55 year old man has been arrested by PSNI Criminal Investigation Branch detectives in Liverpool today.

The arrest was made by PSNI detectives from Musgrave working with officers from Merseyside Police. 

The man is being brought to Belfast to be interviewed under Art 9(1) of the Public Order (NI) Order 1987 in relation to speeches made at the Northern Ireland Against Terrorism Rally on Sunday 6th August this year.

Britain First leader Paul Golding and his deputy Jayda Fransen were charged last week over the same speech.

Both appeared at Belfast Magistrates’ Court and were later released on police bail pending further inquiries.

After Fransen signed her bail conditions, detectives re-arrested the 31-year-old  at Laganside court complex.

She was later charged with using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour.

The charges are in relation to an incident at a peace wall in Belfast on Wednesday 13th December.

Following her court appearance on the new charges, Fransen was re-admitted to bail.
