The National Front (often known as the NF) is a far-right British political party whose major political activities were during the 1970s and 1980s[1]. It is widely considered a racist group, and the British prison service and police services forbid membership of the National Front (as well as the British National Party and Combat 18).[2] The National Front states that it is not a Nazi party, as it is considered to be by many people, and that it is a democratic political movement. 'We believe in Social Justice, National Freedom and the introduction of a Bill of Rights for everyone.'[3]
