Proud Boys Britannia formerly known as Proud Boys UK is a largely irrelevant British-based spinoff, considered "an embarrassment" within the wider movement due to its Fred Perry uniforms, rituals, language and adolescent humour. Originally founded as Proud Boys UK by former US Marine Paul Yates while living in Manchester, the group held a 2019 summer camp in Yorkshire attended by about 20 activists, turned up at a few Tommy Robinson demonstrations and engaged in a little light stickering before vanishing into even further obscurity for a couple of years. During this wilderness period the group was most noteworthy for purchasing black-and-yellow Fred Perry polos for their North American brethren when the company, unhappy with the association, pulled them from the market there. When the group later returned it had created a branch structure for its handful of activists. And although it now avoided public demonstrations they occasionally meet up in small groups in pubs. It did, however, achieve some notoriety calling Labour Party leader Keir Starmer a "paedophile/serial killer protector" a pushed the claim that he failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile. As well as acting as a social club, the group posts childish and misogynist jokes and memes to the 2,500 subscribers to its Telegram channel.
