The BPP was led by Kevin Watmough and was largely dedicated to the legacies of British Nazis who pre-date the party, such as Arnold Leese, John Beckett and Colin Jordan. On 27 October 2005, the party officially registered with the Electoral Commission as BPP - Putting Britons First. The BPP initially had two publications: "Vanguard", which came out every month, and "Imperium", a quarterly magazine that was more theoretical. Both have ceased publication. On 17 October 2005, the BPP was proscribed to members of the BNP.
