shades of far-right activity. Decline The outbreak of the Second World War caused the small group to fall apart, as Leese declared loyalty to King and country and renamed the group the Angles Circle but that stance was rejected by some pro-German members such as Tony Gittens, Harold Lockwood and Bertie Mills. The matter proved to be academic, however, as in 1940, Leese was interned under Defence Regulation 18B. Although he continued to be politically active after the war, the IFL was not reformed. His formation of the National Workers Movement in 1948 meant the end for the IFL.
