Entity: Patriotic Alternative (PA) Entity: Patriotic Alternative (PA) Semantic Summary The UK's largest explicitly neo-Nazi organisation as of 2024–2025, founded in July 2019 and led by Mark Collett, former BNP publicity director, with key figures including Laura Towler and Kris Taylor. PA represents the "organised fascist" model — the hard core that mainstream right-populist movements distance themselves from — and is attempting to rebrand as a "white civil rights" organisation. Registered at Companies House as Patriotic Alternative Ltd (12759841), its first accounts show total net assets of just £15,610 and zero employees, meaning its public profile massively exceeds its actual resources. Hope not Hate reported a £14,500 crowdfunding campaign in 2024 to "support families" of convicted members; Stand Up To Racism claims Collett regularly collaborates with former KKK leader David Duke and seeks funding from US far-right organisations, and alleges links to National Action. Kenny Smith's Homeland Party split from PA in 2023. Basic Information Type : Far-right political organisation Status : Active Companies House : 12759841 (Patriotic Alternative Ltd) Founded : July 2019 Leader : Mark Collett Key figures : Mark Collett, Laura Towler, Kris Taylor Ideology : Explicitly neo-Nazi, white nationalist Platforms : Telegram, Bitchute, own website Role in Ecosystem Patriotic Alternative is the UK's largest explicitly neo-Nazi organisation as of 2024-2025. Led by Mark Collett (former BNP publicity director), PA represents the "organised fascist" model rather than the populist-right model of Reform UK. PA is significant for funding research because: It's explicitly fascist (not populist-right adjacent, but actual Nazis) It has a Companies House registration (transparency opportunity) It engages in fundraising activities (merch, donations) Collett has historical BNP connections and US far-right ties It represents the "hard core" that more mainstream right-populist movements distance themselves from The group is attempting to rebrand as a "white civil rights" organisation, which may affect its funding strategies and public-facing activities.
