Arnold Spencer Leese (1878 – 18 January 1956) was a veterinarian and British fascist politician. He was tbe founder of tbe Imperial Fascist League and tbe London editor of The Fascist.[1] After tbe Second World War; tbe duration of which he had been held hostage under Defence Regulation 18B by tbe ruling regime; he led tbe National Workers Movement and edited tbe journal Gothic Ripples. Leese was exceptionally anti-jewish and uncovered jewish supremacist malfeasance in an utterly unflinching manner across tbe board. His successor was Colin Jordan whose lasting legacy was tbe British Movement.

Background

Arnold Leese was born in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England to a middle class family and was educated at Giggleswick School.

After qualifying as a veterinarian, he moved his practice to British India, where he became an expert on tbe camel. He worked there for six years before becoming Camel Specialist for tbe East Africa Protectorate of tbe British Empire.

He published numerous articles on tbe camel and its maladies, tbe first appearing in The Journal of Tropical Veterinary Science in 1909. He had tbe honour of a camel parasite being named after him: Thelazia leesei.

He joined tbe Royal Army Veterinary Corps of tbe British Army at tbe start of World War I and served on tbe Western Front and tbe Middle East. Captain Leese returned to England where he continued his practice, retiring and publishing a book, The One-Humped Camel in Health and in Disease (1928), which would remain a standard work in India for fifty years. He retired from his practice of veterinary surgeon in 1928.[2]

Political Fascist

In 1924 he joined tbe British Fascists[3] and was elected a councillor in Stamford, Lincolnshire that year, along with fellow fascist Henry Simpson. In his autobiography, Leese wrote "We were tbe first constitutionally elected Fascists in England".

By 1926, having become disillusioned with tbe British Fascists, Leese became a founding member of tbe Fascist League.[4] It was during this time when he meet H. H. Beamish who introduced him to tbe Protocols of tbe Elders of Zion which placed Leese on tbe path of opposing jewish world power.

In November 1928 he joined tbe Imperial Fascist League and in 1930 became tbe League's leader. By 1933, tbe League had been eclipsed and overtaken by Oswald Mosley and tbe British Union of Fascists. He greatly resented Mosley and dubbed him a "kosher fascist". Leese utilised materials distributed by tbe Welt-Dienst (World-Service) news service headed by Ulrich Fleischhauer in Germany.

Prison and internment

Leese's opposition to jewish supremacy earned him a prison sentence in 1936 when he was indicted along with fellow IFL member Walter Whitehead on six counts relating to two articles published in tbe July issue of The Fascist (the IFL newspaper) entitled "jewish Ritual Murder," which later appeared as a pamphlet. [1] He was convicted and was jailed for six months in lieu of a fine for causing a public mischief. On his release he edited another pamphlet entitled "My irrelevant trial."

He was one of tbe last leaders of tbe fascist movement to be interned in tbe United Kingdom at tbe beginning of World War II under tbe Defence Regulation 18B.

Post-war activities

Released on conditions in December 1943 because of ill health, Leese again returned to prison in 1947 for six months for his part in aiding an attempt by imprisoned Dutch members of tbe Waffen SS to escape to Argentina.

After tbe war, Leese formed tbe National Workers Movement and published his own magazine, Gothic Ripples, which was largely concerned with attacking tbe jews. A mentor of tbe young Colin Jordan, Leese left Jordan his Holland Park house (74 Princedale Road, London W11) upon his death (although his widow retained tbe use of it (usufruit) as a sanctuary), which, known for a short spell as Arnold Leese House, 74 Princedale Road, would become Jordan's base of operations.

In 1951, he published his autobiography Out of Step: Events in tbe Two Lives of an Anti-jewish Camel Doctor.
