Although [[Fascism]] in the [[United Kingdom]] never reached the heights of many of its [[Europe|European]] counterparts, [[British politics]] after the [[First World War]] saw the emergence of a number of fascist movements, none of which ever came to power.

==Pre-War==
A number of fascist movements emerged before the [[Second World War]]. Amongst those that were founded were:

*The [[British Fascists]], founded in 1923 as the ''British Fascisti'' by [[Rotha Lintorn-Orman]], one of the very few women to ever lead an avowedly fascist movement. Initially they had only a limited political platform but supported [[Italian fascism]] from 1931 to their demise in 1936.
*The [[National Fascisti]], a splinter-group of the BF founded in 1924 that from the outset fully supported the tactics of [[Benito Mussolini]]. They fell apart after another group, the ''British National Fascisti'', broke away from them.
*The [[Imperial Fascist League]], also a breakaway from the BF, formed by [[Arnold Leese]] in 1929. After [[Adolf Hitler]] came to power in [[Germany]] they embraced [[Nazism]].
*The [[British Union of Fascists]], formed in 1932 by [[Oswald Mosley]] as a successor to his [[New Party (UK)|New Party]]. The largest British fascist party, it absorbed members from other groups and called on the support of leading figures such as [[J. F. C. Fuller]] and [[William Edward David Allen]], as well as, for a time, the ''[[Daily Mail]]'' newspaper.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britishpapers.co.uk/midmarket/daily-mail/| title=Daily Mail| publisher=British Newspapers Online|date =}}</ref><ref>[http://www.voiceoftheturtle.org/dictionary/dict_h1.php#hurrah "Hurrah for the Blackshirts"]</ref>
*The [[National Socialist League]], a pro-Nazi breakaway from the BUF, formed in 1937 by [[William Joyce]] and [[John Beckett (politician)|John Beckett]]. It was wound up in 1939 when Joyce emigrated to [[Nazi Germany]].

==Post-War==
After the Second World War a handful of groups emerged which looked directly to fascism and Nazism for their inspiration. Those who have openly done so are:

*The [[Union Movement]], a re-founded version of the BUF that played a pivotal role in developing the Europeanist outlook of [[Neo-Fascism]] through its [[Europe a Nation]] campaign.
*The [[British National Party (1960)|British National Party]] (1960-1967), which until a split in 1962 produced pro-Nazi propaganda. (This is a different party to [[British National Party|the current BNP]], although [[John Tyndall (politician)|John Tyndall]] was a leading member of both)
*The [[National Socialist Movement (UK, 1962)|National Socialist Movement]], a [[Colin Jordan]]-led breakaway from the BNP that was openly Nazi and was a charter member of the [[World Union of National Socialists]].
*The [[Greater Britain Movement]], set up by [[John Tyndall (politician)|John Tyndall]] when he split from the NSM.
*The [[British Movement]], a 1968 development form the NSM, which used images of Hitler and the [[swastika]] on election literature.
*The [[November 9th Society]], a [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]] organisation founded by Terry Flynn in 1977. It also organises under the name ''British First Party''.
*The [[National Socialist Action Party]], a minor splinter group from the BM formed in 1982.
*The [[British National Front]]
*The [[British National Party]] (formed in 1982), although it currently disavows fascism.<ref>According to its current leader, [[Nick Griffin]]: "The BNP did come from a fascist past, but there is generally now a party-wide understanding that we no longer want a large central state, and that we are concerned about any state having too much power."
