The British Freedom Party was a minor right-wing British nationalist political party. It was once touted by some as a successor to the floundering BNP.
The party was registered in 2010 with Paul Weston as leader, George Whale as nominating officer and Richard Bateman as treasurer.[1]
British Freedom formed close relations with the English Defence League, and in April 2012 it was announced that the EDL's founder Stephen Lennon would become the party's deputy leader.[2] Lennon stepped down the following October.[3]
The party appears to be defunct as of March 2013.[4] The party was de-registered by the Electoral Commission after failing to register.[5]
