Editing Flash and circle (section)

==Post-war usage (1948 onwards)==
After being released from internment, Mosley would continue his political activities, creating the [[Union Movement]] (UM) in February 1948.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Millican |first=John |title=Mosley's Men in Black |publisher=Sanctuary Press Ltd |year=2020 |isbn=978-1-912887-66-8 |edition=3rd |location=Shelton Street, London |pages=137}}</ref> As a successor to the BUF, the UM would go on to adopt the Flash and Circle as its symbol. Throughout the 50s and 60s multiple branch flags were adopted using a black background with a yellow Flash and Circle with the name of the branch underneath in yellow as well. Another variant was adopted by the Mosley Youth in the early 50s. This design consisted of a red background with a black circle and a white flash.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Millican |first=John |title=Mosley's Men in Black |publisher=Sanctuary Press Ltd |year=2020 |isbn=978-1-912887-66-8 |edition=3rd |location=Shelton Street, London |pages=139}}</ref> 

The Flash and Circle would also be adopted by the National Party of Europe (NPE) during it's founding meeting on March 1st 1962. It's adoption was championed by Oswald Mosley over another symbol proposed for the NPE, a Celtic Cross. He argued it only represented a portion of European ancestory like Belgium and the United Kingdom, whilst the Flash represented action and solidarity.<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Party of Europe |url=http://europeanaction.com/id5.html |access-date=2025-05-20 |website=europeanaction.com}}</ref>
