National Socialist Action Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Socialist Action Party was a minor British neo-Nazi political party in the early 1980s.

The NSAP was formed in 1982 by Tony Malski, who split from the British Movement, which was by that period in terminal decline. Malski, who had previously been involved in a plot to blow up the 1981 Notting Hill Carnival, wanted to form a party based solely on National Socialism. The group had a military structure and was divided into four distinct groups, although membership was always tiny at best. They produced a magazine, The European, which called for the formation of a paramilitary army which would be distinct from the NSAP. Malski assumed the title of Field Marshal. The Party comprised some of his neighbours in South Oxhey.

The group had connections in France and these were exposed in 1984 by the Channel 4 documentary about Ray Hill, during which Malski was shown by a hidden camera claiming to have imported explosives. The NSAP went into immediate decline after this exposé. Malski, who was dismissed by many on the far right in Britain as something of a Walter Mitty character, has occasionally surfaced at meetings, including speeches by David Irving, although the NSAP is defunct. Most recently he has been found guilty of racially harassing his neighbour, a woman of Pakistani origin. He has, on occasion, stood for election to St. Alban's District Council, as an independent.
