That was what I took from a first reading of this on the Huffington Post (which, although I think has value, can be fringy-left at times and is prone to exaggeration):
Quote:Media reports citing witnesses said the attacker had shouted out “Britain First”, which is the name of a right-wing group that describes itself on its website as “a patriotic political party and street defense organization”.
Jayda Fransen, deputy leader of Britain First, said the attack was “absolutely disgusting” and suggested that Britain first was a common slogan being used in the EU referendum campaign by those who support Brexit.
I think you misread - it clearly says here, that it's a slogan used by supporters of Brexit (so anti-EU), not an anti-Brexit(pro-EU), as you put it earlier.
