In a bizarre criminal inquiry, officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Operations Directorate are studying claims that the British National Party (BNP) splinter group Britain First breached royal copyright by featuring a depiction of the Crown of St Edward on its official merchandise. The leader of Britain First, Paul Golding, is expected to be questioned over the next few weeks after the group failed to comply with a Government request to remove the merchandise from sale. The move is reminiscent of US gangster Al Capone’s arrest in 1929 for tax evasion rather than for more serious allegations.

For some time the group has been selling beanie hats, hoodies and sweatshirts emblazoned with the group’s logo and topped by an image that bares a remarkable similarity to St Edward’s Crown. But, last night, when The Independent broke the news of the investigation to Mr Golding, he claimed the merchandise was “perfectly legal”.
