The Traditional Britain Group holds its annual get together next weekend, and its panel of speakers includes one or two interesting characters, given how TBG likes to present itself as an upmarket far-right offering which has had government ministers address it in the past.

‘Lock up the Chairman’ call at UKIP conference
Where to start reporting the farcical UKIP/English Democrats joint conference which took place in Nottingham on Friday night and through yesterday? Well, at the beginning we suppose.
