Kenny Smith (far-right activist)

Kenneth Smith (born 1972 or 1973) is a Scottish white nationalist who has held senior roles in the British National Party and Patriotic Alternative and who founded the Homeland Party.

He has worked as a part-time sports coach and in the tourism industry in the Isle of Skye.

Politics and views
Smith is a far-right activist who wants the United Kingdom to be an "ethnostate."

Smith became active in politics when he went to a British National Party meeting in Glasgow in 1991. During his membership of the BNP, he ran as a political candidate, winning 135 votes (0.9% of the 15,496 votes) in the Springburn district in the 2007 Glasgow City Council election. He distributed British National Party flyers at an anti-abortion event led by Ian Paisley of the Democratic Unionist Party in Stornoway in 1998. Smith became the head of administration for the BNP.

In 2008, Smith was one of several people sued by British National Party (BNP) leader Nick Griffin after Smith was ejected by the BNP and started the enoughisenoughnick blog. Other defendants included his now ex-wife Nicholla Smith. Until then Nicholla was the BNP organiser for Falkirk and Kenny was the Scottish regional organiser and head of administration.

After being ejected from the British National Party, Smith joined the Patriotic Alternative and became the group's Scottish organiser in March 2023. Smith disagreed with the leadership of Patriotic Alternative, left the organisation, and founded the Homeland Party.

Smith runs Claymore Books, which has been described by Patriotic Alternative as a "publishing house run by nationalists for the nationalist community".

Career and personal life
Smith is from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland and was born in 1973 (age 48).

Smith has worked as a part-time children's sport coach and the manager of tourist accommodation on the Isle of Skye.

In 2022, Smith pled guilty at the Portree Sheriff Court to breaches of the Firearms Act 1968 and received an admonition. Smith lives in Broadford, Skye.

Smith is engaged to Claire Ellis, a native of Slough who was an organiser for Patriotic Alternative's southwest branch while she was in Devon. In May 2022, Ellis said she would move to Scotland so she could "start a new life" with Smith. They were engaged at a Patriotic Alternative conference in Scotland later that year. According to The Herald, Ellis and far-right streamer Jody Swingler are founders of a Skye-based soap company, Clean & Pure, with white nationalist links.
