While I've had the pleasure of not interacting much with Britain First, and it's possible they do engage in "promotion of hatred" or "implied violence", really that could be anything these days. Like CNN's overreaction to a GIF/meme, or the internet reacting badly to an awful interview.
And talking about actual elected MPs being replaces by actors, this is a fairly common tactic since you can't use footage from the House of Commons for comedy or satire. So it's worth remembering censorship doesn't need a reason once rules or laws are put in place.
