Taking its name from that of a defunct 1960s far-right party, the BNP was created by John Tyndall and other former members of the fascist [[National Front]] (NF). During the 1980s and 1990s, the BNP placed little emphasis on contesting elections, in which it did poorly. Instead, it focused on street marches and rallies, creating the [[Combat 18]] paramilitary—its name a coded reference to [[Nazi Party|Nazi]] German leader [[Adolf Hitler]]—to protect its events from anti-fascist protesters. | Taking its name from that of a defunct 1960s far-right party, the BNP was created by John Tyndall and other former members of the fascist [[National Front]] (NF).
