Mosley had decided that pre-war fascist nationalism had been too limited in scope and in the post-war world, Europe needed to come together as one in a single supranational state. He was calling for direct elections to a “European Assembly” more than 30 years before the European parliament introduced them. In 1954 Chesterton established the League of Empire Loyalists, a political pressure group whose direct action stunts and ‘interventions’ received widespread publicity and attracted the attention of a new generation of fascists, nationalists and right-wing extremists. In 1967 when the League merged with the British National Party, the Greater Britain Movement and the Radical Preservation Society to form the National Front, Chesterton was invited to become its first chairman. Although the LEL actively supported an independent candidate who was a member at the 1957 Lewisham North by-election, it was not a political party. [6] According to Nigel Fielding, the LEL "was composed of right-wing Conservatives, particularly retired military men, and a few pre-war Fascists". [7] Stunts [ edit ]

This is an AHRC-funded project about the history of British imperialism over more than two centuries, from the American war of independence in the late eighteenth century to the last wars of decolonisation at the end of the twentieth century. Its theme is collaboration - the history of the alliances, affiliations and co-options that made empire what it was. Without collaboration there would have been no British empire - loyalty to Britain was as much a part of the story of empire as were the more commonly studied themes of resistance and rebellion. AbstractThis thesis contributes to one of the main debates of British imperial history, the relevance of the Empire to British society. It examines a number of twentieth century imperial activist groups and discusses in detail the Junior Imperial League and the League of Empire Loyalists. It argues that the Junior Imperial League was an important imperially-minded organisation which gave valuable practical support to the Conservative party. It suggests that the imperialism of the League of Empire Loyalists had ideological roots in the imperialist ideas of the late nineteenth century has been overlooked by historians who have perceived it as relevant only to extreme right-wing politics. It suggests that both these groups have been given too little, or the wrong kind of, attention by historians. The first has simply been overlooked and the second has tended to be subsumed into a search for British fascism rather than studied as a specifically imperial body.

The Newcastle Democratic Movement was an anti-immigration group based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne that merged with the National Front in December 1971. Their membership provided the basis of a new large party group on Tyneside.

As 1954 progressed, Candour’s nature was becoming more and more clear. It was following in the tradition of what Hilaire Belloc meant, just after World War I, when he referred to the ‘free press’ — little papers, unsubsidised by advertisements, consequently running at a loss and necessarily not of mass appeal.

British Empire Far Right League Of Empire Loyalists Pressure Group Protest Right Right Wing Secretary Stunt His status as an avowed Europhile might surprise many from the vantage point of 2021, when Eurosceptism tends to be seen (though not exclusively) as a right-wing position. Certainly, the modern Far Right is avowedly Eurosceptic. The BNP, Britain First and other extremist organisations all supported Brexit. But that only goes to show what a dramatic journey Britain’s Far Right has taken since its post-war pro-Europeanism. The analysis of these two groups, in the general context of imperial group activism, hints at a reading of British imperial consciousness that it more subtle than the one in much current literature. Imperialism was neither ubiquitous nor non-existent. A substantial number of activists in Britain in the first half of the twentieth century, estimated to exceed a million, cared about the Empire in various ways and with a range of intensity. Members of imperial activist groups came from all classes, although the leadership of imperial activism was often upper-class. However, imperialism mattered most when it was most ‘banal’ and most intertwined with a broader political Conservatism. Members of the Junior Imperial League rarely saw their imperialism as controversial or something separate from their broader political vision. They associated it with the governance of the Empire, its defence, trading relationships, education, and Anglo-Saxon feelings of ‘kith and kin’.Our fine art prints are high-quality prints made using a paper called Photo Rag.

This position was enhanced by the anti-immigration and Eurosceptism of Enoch Powell, as opposition to the EEC became the norm on the far right.

The party advocated a Pan-European nationalism policy that Mosley termed Europe a Nation and on this basis sought close links with parties in other European countries through initiatives such as the National Party of Europe and the European Social Movement. It also campaigned domestically against immigration at home and contested a number of elections, albeit without having any candidates elected. The party continued in existence until 1973 when it became the Action Party.
