Established in the lead-up to a small anti-immigration demonstration in London in September 2022, Patriots of Britain (POB) pushes predominantly anti-migrant content to its target audience of football supporters, who it wants to unite across clubs.
Patriots of Britain has a negligible imprint on the UK far-right scene. Its follower count across social media is low, and its viewership on YouTube generally even lower. POB’s Telegram admin is Chris Bateman, who was active in Basildon BNP in 2020, is a member of the British Democrats and has been seen campaigning with Britain First.
Offline, the group has not fared well in 2023. It staged a tiny protest at the start of the year outside Serco HQ against cross-Channel migration, as well as a “protect the statues” demonstration in London in October to which no one showed up.
