The National Front is a far right-wing British Political party that had its heyday during the 1970s and '80s. Opponents of the National Front consider it to be a neo-Fascist organization.
The NF's current National Chairman is Tom Holmes.
It was founded on February 7 1967 under the chairmanship of Arthur K. Chesterton, a cousin of the novelist G.K. Chesterton and former leader of the League of Empire Loyalists, with the purpose of fighting immigration and multi-culturalist policies in Britain. Schisms led to the foundation of several other right-wing political parties, including the British National Party. The fortunes of the National Front have subsequently waned, although it still exists as a small party, and fielded 7 candidates at the 1997 General Election.
