Post WW2, various other British Fascist came into existence. For example, [[File:BritishMovement.png]] The British Movement was created by [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|Colin Jordan]] in the year 1968 after the British National Socialist Movement and in 1975 [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|Michael McLaughlin]] he became the leader of The British Movement until it was disbanded in 1983 after an election.
 
One of the most notable post-WW2 British Fascist figures was [[File:Whitesup.png]] [[White Nationalism|A. K. Chesterton]], who created The League Of Empire Loyalists in 1954 after he had fell out with [[File:BritFash.png]] Oswald Mosley.

The [[File:BNP.png]] British National Party (BNP), under the leadership of [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|John Tyndall]], was originally an openly [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|Neo-Nazi]], Anti-Semitic, and [[White Nationalism|White Supremacist]] movement. In 1999, [[File:Griffinism.png]] [[Strasserism|Nick Griffin]] took over as the BNP’s leader. Griffin sought to broaden the BNP's electoral base by presenting a more moderate image (although he and many other party members continued to hold and express fascist views in private), targeting concerns about rising immigration rates, and emphasising localised community campaigns. This resulted in increased electoral growth throughout the 2000s, to the extent that it became the most electorally successful Fascist party in British history.
 
After peaking in the 2009 European Parliament elections, in which the BNP won two seats, the party subsequently went into decline, with much of its voter base being absorbed by the [[File:UKUKIP.png]] [[National Liberalism|United Kingdom Independence Party]], which was able to appeal to a more widespread number of voters than the BNP due to lacking a direct link to [[Fascism]]. Griffin resigned as BNP leader in 2014, being replaced by Adam Walker, and was expelled from the party a few months later. The BNP has declined to near irrelevance under Walker, who has been accused of treating the party more as a retirement fund than a serious force for politics.
