Encyclopedia > British Fascisti

The British Fascisti were the first avowedly fascist organisation in Britain.


It was formed in 1923 by Miss R. L. Lintorn-Orman, in the aftermath of the March on Rome and later renamed British Fascists. Initially they viewed themselves as simply an adult version of the Scout movement and had few policies beyond admiration for Benito Mussolini and anti-communism. Largely comprised of military officers it largely confine itself stewarding Conservative Party meetings and canvassing for votes for the party. They had few policies, one of which was a call for a reduction in income tax so that the well off could hire more servants and so reduce unemployment.


During the General Strike of 1926 they served as strike breakers and are also alleged to have worked as agents for Special Branch. However in 1920's Britain admiration for Fascism mostly meant admiration for the Italian Government rather than agitating for Fascism in Britain.


They were later overshadowed by the (separate) British Union of Fascists.
