Editing International Third Position (section)

==Development==
Though a key formulator of the Third Positionist platform, [[Nick Griffin]] left in 1990.<ref name="Ryan"/> After about four years he joined the [[British National Party]] (BNP), where he later succeeded the BNP founder [[John Tyndall (politician)|John Tyndall]]. Other leading figures in the group on its foundation were [[Roberto Fiore]] and [[Derek Holland (activist)|Derek Holland]].<ref>{{Cite news |last= O'Donnell |title= Fascist Link of "No to Nice" Chief |newspaper= [[Daily Mirror]]  |access-date=  |date= 29 September 2002 |first= Francis |url= https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-92209439 }}{{dl|date=July 2021}}</ref> Jason Wilcock would subsequently emerge as the group's leader, although in 2001 he was reported in the ''[[Daily Mirror]]'' as having played a leading role in instigating the [[2001 Oldham riots|riots in Oldham]].<ref>{{Cite news |last= Johnson |title= Fascist Thug Sparks Race Riots |newspaper= [[Daily Mirror]]  |access-date=  |date= 3 June 2001 |first= Graham |url= https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-75232418 }}{{dl|date=July 2021}}</ref>

[[Troy Southgate]], as well as the majority of ITP supporters, split from the organisation in September 1992 after accusing Fiore and Holland of ideological hypocrisy and swindling members out of their life savings to prop up the group's failed rural experiment in northern France. This included the departure of several local ITP publications, including ''The Kent Crusader'',{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} ''Surrey Action'', and ''Eastern Legion''. Southgate then founded the English Nationalist Movement (ENM) and during this time edited magazines like ''The Crusader'' and ''The English Alternative''. The ENM had strong units in the Burnley, Bradford and south-east Kent areas{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}.

The ITP changed its name to England First in 2001 and has since become a part of the [[European National Front]] with the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[FET y de las JONS|Falange]], Italian [[Forza Nuova]], [[Romania]]n [[Noua Dreaptă]], [[Poland|Polish]] [[National Revival of Poland]] and others.

An ITP/ENF gathering in central [[London]] in April 2005 drew 150 supporters. Overall membership is estimated by ''[[Searchlight (magazine)|Searchlight]]'' magazine to be somewhat lower than this, although the ITP maintains a relatively strong publishing presence as well as its network of international contacts. The modern party is much less critical of [[Islam]] than the rest of the British far-right, and claims that the campaign against Islam is mostly driven by Jewish interests. The party remains strongly anti-Semitic.<ref name="Ryan">{{cite book|last= Ryan|first=Nick|title=Into a World of Hate: A Journey Among the Extreme Right|publisher=Routledge|year=2004|pages=62|isbn=0-415-94922-X|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wOq79eHTJu4C&q=%22International+Third+Position%22+neo-fascist&pg=PA62}}</ref>
