The Head Of The United Patriots Front Got Trolled So Hard He Quit

    "I'm done. I'm fucking done."

    Shermonn Burgess, the head of Australia's far right-wing United Patriots Front has announced he is resigning after some of his "fellow patriots" created a video mocking him.

    Burgess said he's handing the reigns of the organisation to another high profile "patriot", Blair Cotrell, after a video was posted online claiming he is a "woman basher".

    Burgess said the final straw came when he saw fellow members of the group sharing the video and laughing at him.

    "This is what we've got to put up with. Now I don't mind putting up with death threats from Muslims, I don't mind with media, but when your own fucking people start turning against you and having a laugh, and spreading left wing shit, after all the sacrifices you made for them, that's where I draw the fucking line and I'm done. I'm fucking done," he said.

    Burgess, who made a name for himself speaking at far-right Reclaim Australia rallies, also said he had lost his job over his involvement with the UPF.

    Also known as the "Great Aussie Patriot", Burgess said he will continue to support the UPF's anti-Islam and anti-immigration platform, but has removed his personal Facebook page and will no longer speak for the UPF.

    Along with his job, Burgess said he almost had to give up his car and faced jail time for the UPF, but it was the "back stabbers" in his own organisation which finally pushed him out.

    Getting emotional towards the end of the video, Burgess said he is proud of the group he has created.

    "There was no movement, and I grabbed hold of Reclaim Australia and built it from the ground up. We went from having patriot rallies in Australia where only 20 to 40 people would show up to having thousands showing up across the nation. I built the UPF from scratch and it's spread like wildfire."

    The new head of the movement, Blair Cottrell, has made headlines recently as the leader of a high profile campaign against the proposed building of a mosque in the Victorian city of Bendigo.

    Cottrell has claimed that you can either be Australian or Muslim, but you can't possibly be both. He was the organiser of several anti-Islam rallies in Melbourne where UPF followers clashed violently with anti-racism demonstrators.

    "The threat (is) that the religion of Islam is not necessarily a peaceful religion, as many muslims will have you believe," he told 3AW in July.

    "The most devout form of Islam revolves around and is always resting upon a foundation of violence and terror."
