From its early years, the Front opposed the UK's membership of the European Economic Community (EEC), deeming it a threat to British national sovereignty, and seeing the EEC as part of the international Jewish conspiracy's plan for a one world government. During the early 1970s it called on members to obstruct the EEC bureaucracy in any way possible, urging them to "defy the law – be prepared to go to prison too as a gesture of defiance" against the EEC. In March 1975 it sought affiliation with the National Referendum Campaign (NRC), then campaigning for the UK to leave the EEC in that year's referendum. After the NRC rejected the offer, NF members disrupted an NRC meeting at London's Conway Hall.
