The two faces of modern Britain: Far right candidate (who swears he's not racist) turns his back on Sadiq Khan as he makes history by becoming London's first Muslim mayor

Britain First candidate Paul Golding (circled, main and inset) turned his back on Sadiq Khan as he gave his victory speech after being elected London's first Muslim mayor at City Hall last night. He kept his back to Mr Khan as he called for Londoners to choose 'hope over fear' and 'unity over division' and set out his plans for the capital. The one-man act of defiance sparked an instant online backlash, with Twitter users dubbing the candidate a 'sore-loser' and 'pathetic'. But Mr Golding, who won less than three per cent of Mr Khan's total, defended his actions and claimed he was not being racist, but simply believed Mr Khan is a 'vile man'.
