HISTORICAL INTEREST No 1
The British Fascisti
Rotha Lintorn-Orman in 1916 aged 21.
The British Fascisti was Britain's first and largest Fascist party. It was founded in May 1923 by Rotha Lintorn-Orman. The London headquarters was at 71 Elm Park Gdns, SW1
Lintorn-Orman was the grandaughter of a Field Marshall and a member of the country gentry. Her wealthy mother gave her £50,000 to get the party started and paid her a monthly allowance. During the first world war Lintorn-Orman served with the Women's Reserve Ambulance.
She recruited members by placing adverts in the Duke of Northumberland's PATRIOT newspaper and by the end of 1923 the party had over 100,000 members.
First president was Lord Garvagh followed by Brigadier General Robert Blakeney. Arnold Leese who went on to set up the Imperial Fascist League was an early member but left in 1924. William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw), Nesta Webster, Neil Francis Hawkins and Henry Williamson (author of Tarka the Otter) were all members.
William Joyce had his face slashed with a razor while he was a member of the British Fascists stewarding a Conservative meeting at Lambeth's Bath Hall. He was defending Jewish Tory candidate Jack Lazarus from left-wing agitators. The scar ran down the right side of his face from the lobe of his ear to the corner of his mouth.
Nesta Webster was an historian and conspiracy theorist. Her book Secret Societies and Subversive Movements is still in print today.

In 1927 she gave lectures for the BF at Chelsea Town Hall amid much publicity.

In 1924 two members of the BF, Arnold Leese and Henry Simpson were elected as Britain's first Fascist town councillors in Stamford Lincolnshire.
The British Fascisti was set up as a para-military organisation among the middle and upper-middle levels of society. It had many titled people as members and many ex-military.

In order to make the party less foreign sounding there was a name change on 7th May 1924 to British Fascists Ltd. In 1925 the organization claimed to have 800 branches, each with a membership varying from 200 to 500 persons. This would mean that by 1925, membership was 160,000 plus. About one sixth of the members were women.
In 1925 a network of Fascist children's clubs was set up, an idea appropriated from the Church.
Fascist collective identity was maintained by regular dances, balls, garden parties and bazaars, proceeds went towards funding the Fascist Childrens Clubs. Speakers classes were offered by Mme Anita Sutherland a well known singer and an early member. A Fascist dogs club was launched in 1929. There were even holiday camps for members. A women's camp at Lyndhurst in the summer of 1925 was raided by REDS.
A patriotic song league was founded in 1926 and this little ditty was written for the children of the Fascist Children's Clubs to sing.
"We are all anti-Red, and We're proud of it,
All Britons, and singing aloud of it.
If Red, White and Blue isn't good enough for you,
And if you don't like the Empire - clear out of it"
In October 1931 a Mr W Hamilton married a Miss Eleanor Sizer both members of the British Fascists in the Holborn area. They were given a Guard of Honour commanded by Lintorn- Orman. It would be interesting to know if there is a family link between Eleanor Sizer and an Esther Sizer who was attacked by REDS on a National Front march in Lewisham in 1977.
Uniforms were a dark blue tunic with the lettering British Fascist on the shoulder straps and a blue beret. Small round lapel badges were worn.
Here is an original British Fascisti lapel badge.
From 1925 onwards uniforms could be bought, made to measure, from Gamages in Holborn.
Gamages department store, closed in 1972.
In 1926, the London headquarters was moved from 71 Elm Park Gardens to 297 Fulham Rd.
In 1928 the headquarters moved again, this time to 99 Buckingham Palace Rd.
The last move was in 1933 to 22 Stanhope Gardens. Lintorn-Orman claimed the change was made due to the growth of the party. In 1933 it was estimated that the British Fascists had 400,000 members.
In the 1930s the party adopted a strongly anti-semitic platform, additionally, the BF became outspoken supporters of Hitler's Germany. When Mosley started his British Union of Fascists in 1932 a lot of the BFs members defected to Mosley's BUF.
Lintorn-Orman died in May 1935, aged 40, and the party folded up in October the same year.

Southend BNP attend the RWB (Part One)
On our journey to the site, we were trapped in our cars by the UAF, a screaming hate filled mob, for nearly 4 hours. The police made no effort to move them on. At one point one of the ladies who lived in the street where we were parked gave us tea and biscuits and offered us the use of her toilet.
We were at the brow of a hill and we thought there were fields beyond, but when we finally got through the road block there were just more residential streets. So the UAF stood there for 4 hours singing their silly songs and shouting through loudhailers right outside peoples front doors with absolutely no consideration for the local residents. Apart from the usual stupid chants , they were shouting "you're not going to your Nazi jamboree "and "Nazi scum your time has come".
While we were sitting in our cars a man and woman with a small child in a buggy approached on foot and asked to be let through the police cordon to get to the festival. The crowd turned on them and chanted "Nazi scum off our streets". The child looked to be less than a year old.
A girl cries in fear as her family are confronted
by the screaming hate filled mob.
A hate filled UAF thug gets arrested.
Is this a man or a woman? The jury is still out.
Is there a circus in town?
The UAF vandalised one of the residents cars but we don't know why. We think it's either because he had a Union Jack in his car window or because he gave a cup of tea to a long suffering BNP member. All his car windows were smashed by the UAF thugs.
More UAF related incidents
On Saturday, as one of our senior members was trying to enter the RWB site, his car was attacked by protesters. This senior member has a down-syndrome teenage boy. The protesters spat in the boy's face whilst calling him a Nazi. The boys father, as you can imagine, was furious and the boy distraught. The police did NOTHING. Spitting at someone is supposed to be a criminal offence. IT IS ASSAULT, yet the police took NO ACTION.
Since when has a down-syndrome child had any politcal views?
On Sunday, a fourteen year old girl left the campsite and nipped down to the shop. She was smacked in the face and left bruised and hysterical.
When are people going to wake up and stop voting for political parties who allow and encourage this behaviour. Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Peter Hain and the local Labour MP Judy Mallaber, ALL back these violent UAF scumbags.

BNP takes up its two seats in the European Parliament
Yesterday the British National Party arrived on the international stage when its two MEPs took their seats in the European Parliament.
It would seem Democratic Unionist Diane Dodds doesn't understand the meaning of the word Democratic. The BNP got nearly a million votes in the European elections, evidently this means nothing to Diane Dodds. In Northern Ireland, her party the DUP is in decline. Its share of the vote fell by 14% and Dodds was elected third and last with fewer votes than the quota.
The BNP will be working unofficially with the Front National of France and the Jobbik party of Hungary.
Dr Krisztina Morvai, one of Jobbik's 3 MEPs is a law professor at Budapest University.

The new members, Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons, were allocated places 780 and 781, towards the back of the Strasbourg chamber with kindred MEPs from the parties of Belgium, Bulgaria, France and Hungary.

The Sun newspaper retracts lies about the BNP
During the run-up to the European elections, The Sun newspaper published the contents of a leaflet which had been drawn up by an extremist leftist who was linked to the Tory Party-affiliated UAF organisation. The Sun claimed the leaflet, which contained highly defamatory remarks about Gurkhas, had been issued by the BNP.
Even though it was obvious that the leaflet did not originate with the BNP, the disgusting liars in The Sun’s editorial office gave great prominence to the leaflet in its online and printed editions in an attempt to smear the party.
Fortunately, the liars at The Sun failed in their attempt to prevent the BNP winning seats in the European elections. They had also failed to take into account the highly effective ‘Operation Fightback’ campaign run by the party under Councillor Paul Golding.
Within hours of The Sun’s lies appearing, the Press Complaints Commission had been flooded with thousands of angry members of the public objecting to the vicious lies put out by that newspaper.
The Sun has now been forced to publish a full retraction in its printed and online versions, admitting that its original story was untrue.
