League of Saint George
The League of St. George is a Neo-Fascist organization based in the United Kingdom. It has defined itself as a "non-party, non-sectarian political club" and, whilst forging alliances with different groups, has eschewed close links with other extremist political parties.〔Michael Billig, ''A Social Psychological View of the National Front'', Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978, p. 101〕
==History==
The League was formed around 1974 as a political club by Keith Thompson and Mike Griffin as a breakaway from the Action Party, founded by British fascist, Oswald Mosley. The League sought to continue what it saw as a purer form of the ideas of Mosley than those offered by then leader Jeffrey Hamm.〔Ray Hill & Andrew Bell, ''The Other Face of Terror'', London: Grafton, 1988, p. 184.〕 In the 1970s the League became a political home for the more intellectual adherents of "Neo-Nazi" ideology, particularly those who wanted a united Europe with a European-derived population, a continuation of Mosley's Europe a Nation policy. Alongside this the League also followed Mosley's lead in endorsing Irish republicanism, something of a change from their contemporaries in the British far right who reserved their support for Ulster loyalism.〔Hill & Bell, ''The Other Face of Terror'', p. 185.〕 The League was never intended to be a political party, but more of a social, intellectual, and cultural organization, albeit with the ultimate political aim of promoting European people and their culture. Intended as an exclusive club for what were seen as the leading minds on the British far right, its membership tended to be restricted to around 50–100 members.〔Glyn Ford, ''European Parliament Committee of Inquiry on Racism and Xenophobia - Report on the Findings of the Inquiry'', 2.12.27〕 Indeed membership of the League was restricted to those invited to join only.〔Peter Barberis, John McHugh, Mike Tyldesley, ''Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations: Parties, Groups and Movements of the 20th Century'', Continuum International Publishing Group, 2000, p. 185〕
The group often had a torrid relationship with the far right parties, and indeed the National Front barred its members from joining the League in 1977.〔S. Taylor, ''The National Front in English Politics'', London: Macmillan, 1982, p. 100.〕 Around this time ''Spearhead'' even included articles claiming that the League was in fact a cult dominated by clandestine leaders, secret oaths and profane initiation ceremonies.〔Billig, ''Fascists'', p. 117〕 Nonetheless individual members maintained ties to both organisations, with some contributing to both ''Spearhead'' and ''The League Review''.〔Billig, ''Fascists'', pp. 117-118〕 Similarly the British Movement, which had originally co-operated with the League, eventually severed its ties over the Northern Irish issue.〔Barberis et al, ''Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations'', p. 177〕 'The Enemy Within' is an account of the League of St George written by a former member, the cartoonist Robert Edwards, who now publishes his own Mosleyite newspaper called 'European Socialist Action.'
