Homeland: British fascism fractures
Executive summary
- Fascist party Patriotic Alternative (PA) has undergone a catastrophic split, marking the end of PA’s reign as the largest and most significant fascist group in the UK
- PA’s growth has stagnated and there is widespread frustration among party organisers about a lack of political direction from the leadership
- PA’s former national administration officer, Kenny Smith, has led a large breakaway faction to form a new neoNazi party called Homeland
- Homeland’s inaugural meeting was held on 20 April, a date celebrated by neo-Nazis around the world as the anniversary of Adolf Hitler’s birthday
- Homeland intend to register as a political party by stealth, using a fake name and officers unknown to the authorities to deceive the Electoral Commission
- We expect Homeland will pose a serious threat to social cohesion nationally and in the areas they target for community organising.
