Fascist party Patriotic Alternative (PA) held a secret conference for their members near Milton Keynes this weekend. PA’s previous conference - which was advertised in advance, with tickets available to non-vetted supporters - was disrupted after we revealed the venue.
PA claim 150 supporters attended, a significant decline from the 240 they say attended their previous conference, held in Cumbria in October 2021. The disruption to their last event has forced PA to increase their security measures, resulting in fewer attendees.
PA have released photographs of a number of key activists and organisers, several who have opted to show their faces for the first time, and some of which we have already identified.
Patriotic Alternative One PA activist appearing on camera for the first time is Yorkshire-based Nancy Richardson, a software engineer and former animal rights activist.
Nancy Richardson Richardson has been involved with PA since late 2020, attending hikes as well as leafletting homes with conspiracy theories around coronavirus and the supposed threats posed by non-white immigration.
Nancy Richardson In 2016, Richardson stood as a Green Party candidate in local elections in Stockport. Richardson’s involvement illustrates how PA have been able to attract racists from a range of political backgrounds, such as London regional organiser Nicholas Hill, a former Liberal Democrat.
Also pictured is Barry Chappell, a longtime resident of Guildford and a business development manager for consultancy firm Shriem.
