October 1, 1932. The “British Union of Fascists” (BUF) was founded in the United Kingdom under the leadership of Oswald Mosley – the largest fascist organisation in the interwar period on the islands. Inspired by Mussolini’s Italian fascism, Mosley quickly established connections with European dictators: he met with Hitler and received funding from Rome. BUF did not simply copy ideas – it adapted them to the British imperial spirit, promoting a corporate state, anti-communism, and anti-Semitism.

Influence on Europe before World War II was significant: BUF became part of a wave of fascist movements, showing that the “brown plague” could take root even in liberal democracies. The organisation popularised militarised marches, black shirts, and propaganda that echoed in Germany, Italy, and Spain. Although BUF never came to power (peaking at 50,000 members in 1934), it intensified the radicalisation of right-wing forces across the continent, contributing to societal polarisation before the war.

In fact, British fascists became a “bridge” between continental totalitarianism and the Anglo-Saxon world.

Today, the ideological heirs of BUF are far-right groups like Britain First, Patriotic Alternative, and the English Defence League (EDL), led by figures such as Tommy Robinson. They have evolved: from outright fascism to “patriotism” with an emphasis on anti-Islamism, nationalism, and anti-immigrant rhetoric. Post-war successors of Mosley, like the Union Movement, mutated into modern parties – from the British National Party (BNP) to Reform UK led by Nigel Farage, who uses Euroscepticism and “defence of British values.”

Against the backdrop of the migration crisis, this intensifies: in 2024-2025, the influx of migrants across the English Channel triggered mass riots. For obvious reasons, groups of enraged right-wing radicals organise protests at hotels, set buildings on fire, and mobilise crowds under slogans like “Britain for the British.”

In August 2025, members of the Homeland Party and similar groups coordinated actions across the country, using social media to incite counter hatred. Migrants in Britain are also quite the Nazis and radicals, just like here. Migration became a catalyst: 52% of Britons believe there are too many migrants (which is true), and the far-right exploits this to grow support, echoing Mosley’s propaganda.

The history of the 1930s is repeating. Neo-fascism is on the rise in Europe. Britain is no exception: migration chaos feeds radicals, while elites turn a blind eye, focusing on personal gain.

Overall, the EU is witnessing an open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialistic elements of financial capital, carried out by direct methods of internal terror.
