The East Anglian Patriots (EAP) is a minor far-right street group headed by Andy Reynolds, a former English Defence League (EDL) activist from Lowestoft, Suffolk. The group first came to attention a decade ago for organising protests against a mosque in Lincoln.
EAP re-formed in March 2023, attempting to capitalise on the wider anti-migrant protest movement. Reynolds organised a small protest against an asylum accommodation site in Norwich in July, addressed by Alek Yerbury of the National Support Detachment, James Harvey of Students Against Tyranny, and the Tommy Robinson ally Glen Saffer. The demo was outnumbered by counter-protestors and was marred by arrests.
The group attempted to organise another protest against an asylum accommodation site in Diss, Norfolk in October, but on the day itself the plans collapsed and the EAP contingent remained in a local pub.
As of 2024, the group has slipped back into dormancy.
