Mark Cotterill Starts the EFP on behalf of

the White Nationalist Party

Right: A typical White Nationalist Party gathering.

Back in England after being fired from the National Alliance in America by Dr. William Pierce for swindling $100,000 from Resistance Magazine, Cotterill rejoined the BNP. This did not last long, and he fell out with the party over a purely personality-driven clash.

After a short while with the National Front, he then joined up with the White Nationalist Party, serving on its head committee.

The White Nationalist Party (WNP) was started by hard-line “Nazis” who had supported the BNP while John Tyndall was leader of that party, but who had been kicked out for their extreme views when Nick Griffin became BNP Chairman.

At the time when Cotterill joined the WNP, that party had recently applied to the Electoral Commission to register a political party, the “White Party.”

The Electoral Commission, however, refused to register a party with that name.

Cotterill then suggested to the WNP that they start a party with another name completely to bypass the ban.

The WNP head committee enthusiastically agreed to this plan: and the “England First Party” was born, with Cotterill as its leader.  Remember that at this stage, Cotterill was still serving on the WNP head committee, and had specifically proposed starting that party as a front for the WNP.

The WNP was subsequently absorbed into yet another one of those endless splinter groups, the British Peoples’ Party.

However, the cross membership of all these groups remains the same, as issue #116 of the WNP/BPP bulletin, Nationalist World, dated 10th February 2007, confirms:

“BURNLEY BY-ELECTION
