A far-right nationalist group is getting some attention in the wake of the terror attacks in Europe.

"Britain First" posted a video on its Facebook page this weekend in which group members are seen driving through east London in an armored SUV, reportedly handing out anti-Islam flyers in an area with Muslim residents.

In the video, a man accuses a woman handing out flyers of being on a "racist tantrum."

The woman replies, "How's this racist to hand out Christian leaflets in a Christian country?"

On its Facebook page, the group describes itself as "a patriotic political party and street defence organisation."
