In its many and varied forms, the Radical Right has been a
hyper-nationalist thorn in the side of Britain's liberal political
system for over 100 years. Standing outside the liberal political
system, it rejected liberal principles in their entirety in favour
of values derived from racial nationalism, while its concept of
'Britain for the British' entailed social as well as national
revolution, and the transformation of the individual. The policies
of the Radical Right have ranged from the authoritarian fascism of
Sir Oswald Mosley and the BUF and the later National Front, to the
virtual anarchism of Distributism and Social Credit; from de facto
nationalization to the redistribution of property. In this
approachable introductory guide, Alan Sykes examines the
troublesome history of the Radical Right and its critique of
British liberal politics. Sykes traces the development of Radical
Right ideas from their origins in the Edwardian fears of imperial
disintegration and racial decadence that gave rise to Social
Imperialism, to the contemporary achievements of the modernized
BNP.
