The South London chapter is also a key part of the PP, with several members having worked with Thomas for considerably longer than those of other affiliates. These men have gone on to make up some of the inner circle of the PP. 

The South London Patriots’ Luke Jackson, Jason Armstrong, Russell Belcher, Billy Cooper and Sid were five of the small group who went to Calais with Thomas as part of ‘Operation Overlord’ in January 2026. At the time, Thomas was banned from entering France at all, but crossed anyway via the Belgian border.
