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

PBB has just a handful of activists and operates mostly as a social and drinking club. The group ran 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 often regarded as something of an embarrassment, owing to its Fred Perry uniforms, rituals, language and adolescent humour.

In September 2024, after complaining of the “borderline harassment” of its members by border security, the PBB Telegram accounts abruptly went down.
