Heritage and Destiny (H&D), a bi-monthly magazine, is the most important print publication produced by the traditional British fascist scene. 

Founded in 1999 and edited by former British National Party (BNP) organisers Mark Cotterill and Peter Rushton, the publication retains a readership among the old guard of the British far right. It has, however, made efforts to expand its readership in recent years, including establishing a presence on social media. 

Over the past 18 months, the magazine has printed a debate about the viability of electoral and community politics between the leaders of the most prominent fascist groups in the UK, including Patriotic Alternative (PA) and its splinter groups, the Homeland Party and National Rebirth Party, as well as the British Democrats and British Movement, and veteran fascist Steve Brady (AKA Ian Freeman), a former leading member of the National Front. 

H&D also hosts conferences in Preston, Lancashire, in remembrance of various deceased British fascists. The events received wider attention after Isabel Peralta, a notorious Spanish fascist and H&D’s “European correspondent”, entered the country to address the 2022 and 2023 conferences. 

The most recent event, in September 2023, was attended by roughly 80 people and featured speeches by Peralta alongside the leaders of PA, the British Democrats and the British Movement. No conference was held in 2024.
