Title: British Unification Front – Founding
Code: 0.0001
Author: Myles Nicholas (Operation lead, Terrorism Prevention Division
Memo: All evidence suggests the British Unification front, known by some as the Viper’s, began life as a street gang in Liverpool during the late 1980’s. Kevin Roberts (Aged 15) and his brother Simon Robert’s (Aged 18) Quickly rose to prominence as the leading suppliers of weapons and drugs. At this time there was no evidence to suggest that the organisation had revolutionary ambitions. The brothers, of which Kevin was the superior, quickly and effectively eliminated threats through extortion, bribery and violence.
Aged 24 Simon Roberts was sentenced to two year in prison for distribution and carrying and offensive weapon. During his brother’s imprisonment, Kevin became acquainted with former new IRA lead and current Irish independence leader Sean Creedy. The reason for this coming together is unknown. Creedy stayed with Kevin Robert’s for five years where he helped form the British Unification front. It is believed that Kevin Robert’s began to idealise the way the IRA had managed to cripple the UK and began to wish for a revolution of his own. Together they changed them from a criminal gang to a terrorist insurgent operation. Kevin Robert’s acquired property outside Liverpool and built the Viper HQ, where operations of domestic terrorism were planned and carried out.
One Sean Creedy had returned to Ireland, Kevin Robert’s goals changed. He wished for a reclamation of the British empire, aiming to destabilise the British government for an eventual revolution. Bribery and threats kept the B.U.F, free from police intervention.
In the late two thousands, with the country on the brink of imminent collapse, the Viper’s emerged as the dominant violent force within the UK by orchestrating and carrying out black August. (Please see later document for further information.)
After the civil war that followed, the Vipers have continued to carry out guerrilla warfare tactics, crippling any threat to their safety. The Viper headquarters is well defended, with children and non-combatants on site. This would complicate any strike. For now, Kevin Robert’s has made himself untouchable.
Author Notes: This is a brief memo. Many of the records of Kevin Robert’s and the British Unification front were lost during black August. We will look to find what we can in further reports.
