Proud Boys Britannia (PBB) is the UK offshoot of the US-founded “western chauvinist” far-right movement, the Proud Boys. 

The group has just a handful of activists and operates mostly as a social club that travels to locations for drinks and socialising. The group also runs an active Telegram channel with just over 2,500 subscribers, which mainly posts childish and misogynist jokes and memes. 

While remaining tiny, the group has created a branch structure with separate email addresses and Telegram channels for Scotland, Wales, England North/ Midlands and England South. Despite this, PBB has little influence within the wider UK far right and is widely regarded as something of an embarrassment, owing to its Fred Perry uniforms, rituals, language and adolescent humour.
