Luke Menasheh ben Jochanan, [2] [3] known by the pseudonym Luke Anthony Nash-Jones, [4] also known as the Prince of Kekistan [1] [5], is an Alt-lite [6] British politician in the United Kingdom. [7] A prominent member of UKIP, he is ideologically characterised as a highly Eurosceptic [8] social conservative with reactionary, traditionalist, and right-wing populist views.
He is the founder and leader of the pro-Donald Trump British nationalist movement Make Britain Great Again, and its operational committee, the People's Charter Foundation,[9] which claims to be the modern-day Chartist movement and the British Tea Party. [10] [11] [12]
Early life[edit]
Nash-Jones is of Zimbabwean [13] and Polish Jewish ancestry. He is the nephew [14] of UKIP National Executive Committee member and Party leadership contender Elizabeth Jones,[15] [16] with whom he ran a campaign to impeach UKIP leader Henry Bolton.
He attended the University of London, where he was the President of Birkbeck Conservative Association,[9] [17] and he was elected as a member of the student union. [18] [19]
Political career[edit]
Nash-Jones unsuccessfully stood for UKIP in Brighton Hill during the 2018 local elections. He is a contributor to the Politcalite [20] and UKIP Daily blogs, where he has tried to influence the party policy and communications strategy [21][22]
Political views[edit]
Nash-Jones is a controversial figure in British politics, due to his praise of Donald Trump, after whom his movement is named[12], and because he organised rallies to welcome the US President to Britain. [10] [23] [24] [25] [5] [26] [27] However, he is despised by the actual far-right [6], for his objection to their calls for an "ethnostate" white homeland. [28] [29]
He has orchestrated and spoken at rallies in various British cities, campaigning against the TV licence fee, dressed as Guy Fawkes,[30] and Britain's membership of the European Union. [31][32] [33] [34] Nash-Jones wants there to be an English Parliament, and abolition of non-hereditary Lords. [35]
Nash-Jones is a critic of Sharia law, [36] and mass migration. He is an associate of Robert Spencer of JihadWatch [37] and Robert Oulds of the Bruges Group.
He is also a spokesman for the Football Lads Alliance,[38] [39] [40] [41] and has has addressed anti-terrorism rallies with Gerard Batten, [42] Bill Etheridge [43] Anne Marie Waters, and his mentor [44] [13] Janice Atkinson, who writes for his Make Britain Great Again blog. [45] [46]
Nash-Jones organised FreeTommy rallies [36] to demand the British government end the imprisonment of Tommy Robinson, former leader of the English Defence League, a political figure whom he has written and spoken in defence of.
Critics[edit]
He has received opposition to his activities by Islamic preachers Ali Dawah, and Sunni Dawah.[47]
