And, as defeat loomed, some Nazis did toy with the idea of pan-Europeanism, rather than simple national dominance by the German Reich. The British National Party was formed in 1960 by the merger of the National Labour Party and the White Defence League. [20] The party was led by John Bean, with Andrew Fountaine holding the position of Party President, and other leading members including John Tyndall, Colin Jordan (who served as Activities Organiser), Denis Pirie and Ted Budden. The widow of Arnold Leese served as vice-president of the party. [14] The party's main policies were an end to immigration, repatriation of immigrants and belief in an international Jewish conspiracy. [21] Elements within the party also expressed support for Nazism and a paramilitary arm, Spearhead, was set up by Tyndall.

It is at this point of the story that we meet the mysterious R.K. Jeffery, a millionaire Englishman based in Chile, who proved to be A.K.’s greatest benefactor, donating the large amount of money that Candour and later the League of Empire Loyalists (LEL) needed to stay in the fight. One of the most interesting parts of the book concerns the later death of Jeffery and the apparent shenanigans carried out by his relatives that prevented the inheritance coming into the hands of the LEL. Who knows how Jeffery’s millions might have impacted on British nationalist politics?

At the end of the war, Mosley, the former leader of the British Union of Fascists, was a diminished figure. However, Thatcherism moved such arguments into the mainstream right by the late 1980s with this respectability allowing the emergence of UKIP and Nigel Farage – and arguably leading to Brexit.

Some had left with Hilton to join his Patriotic Party whilst another group of leavers had been the supporters of Colin Jordan. Jordan had left in 1957 after his call to bar Jews and non-whites from the LEL had been rejected whilst John Bean had left in acrimonious circumstances the following year. Both men advocated the formation of mass parties, an idea that Chesterton rejected, and over time they won support to their respective groups, the White Defence League and the National Labour Party by advocating these and other more radical ideas.The Constitutional Movement was another NF splinter group from 1979, this time led by Andrew Fountaine. right wing political group in the United Kingdom. It contested the 1981 GLC elections. [35] After it changed its name to the Nationalist Party, it contested only five seats in the 1983 general election. The party soon disappeared, with many members joining the BNP.
