JIM DOWSON
Jim Dowson, former British National Party member known for his extreme right views on abortion and immigration supported Donald Trump’s campaign. Dowson was a founder of Britain First in 2011. He built a close working relationship with Aleksandr Dugin who helped him to set up shop in Hungary to drive the alt-right agenda.[i] A longtime friend and business partner of Nick Griffin, Dowson sought to help racists move to Hungary to promote their efforts. Dowson was however expelled from Hungary as an “undesirable person” for his effort to join Knights Templar, an Eastern European white supremacist group.[ii]
