Anthony Hancock

Who was Anthony Hancock?

Anthony Hancock was a member of various far right organizations in the United Kingdom and as a publisher, produced literature for British far right groups.

Based in Brighton, where he owned a hotel called the Heidelberg, Anthony Hancock was the son of Alan Hancock, a veteran of the British Union of Fascists who first set up the publishing firm. With his father as a leading member, Anthony Hancock began as a member of the Racial Preservation Society and from this group he became a member of the National Front.

As a member of the NF, Hancock became a close associate of Steve Brady of the League of St George and followed him into the National Party in 1976. It was at this time that Hancock stepped up his printing firm and was soon producing not only for the NP and the League, but also for the British Movement and later the NF and the British National Party amongst others. He later became a supporter of the British Democratic Party, although by and large he put his own feelings aside and continued to publish for any far right group that asked him to.
