A FAR-RIGHT thug who hurled abuse at Tory MP Anna Soubry is begging for cash online to fund his campaign.

Jobless James Goddard, 29 — head of the aggressive Yellow Shirt mob that branded Soubry a “Nazi” on live TV — asks  followers for “donations” to his PayPal account.

Goddard, of Leicester, said the cash will let him “go the extra mile” after vowing to target Remain MPs six days a week until Brexit goes through.

During live TV interviews on BBC News and Sky, the mob chanted “Soubry is a liar” and “Soubry is a Nazi”.

Then in another a video posted on Twitter, Goddard is seen confronting police officers during a protest.

He shouts: “You know what, every one of you are fair game. You want a war, I’ll give you a war. You want it, it’s on. Every Saturday, you are fair game.”

Addressing an Asian officer, he screams: “You ain’t even f****** British, how dare you?”

In his post on Facebook asking for donations, Goddard wrote: “I’m not in this to make money, I’m in it because I genuinely believe in what I say and I’m willing to go the extra mile and challenge the people that need confronting, attend the demos that need attending & of course support the causes that need supporting.

“I will now be out six days a week confronting the Remoaners at Parliament and challenging the corrupt Establishment, we will bring change to this country, we won’t ever give in and we’re doing this for the next generation!”

Other members of the mob also targeted Sky News presenter Kay Burley.

During a live broadcast, one shouted: “Kay, stop telling your lies.” Yesterday, Burley tweeted: “I need security to escort me from my place of work. These people are not pro-Brexit. They are pro-intimidation.

Yesterday, police vowed to “deal robustly” with harassment and abuse outside Parliament after a public outcry over the actions of Goddard’s group.
