'''William Richard Baker''' is a far-right [[British]] activist, notable for being so bigoted that not even the [[English Defence League]] wants him. He is one of the leaders of a small group calling itself the English Nationalist Alliance.<ref>http://exposingon.tumblr.com/post/3542286508/english-defence-league-denounce-founding-ena-members</ref>

Although Baker was previously involved with the EDL and helped the group to organise a protest in 2009,<ref>http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/hate-groups/edp/</ref> the group cut its ties with him and other leading members of the ENA in February 2011. Amongst the official reasons was an incident in which Baker made [[racist]] comments during a televised debate with a [[Muslim]].<ref name=edl>http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/edl-and-jtf.html</ref><ref>http://theenglishdefenceleagueextra.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/edl-statement-bill-baker-and-english.html</ref> Later in 2011 he made the curious statement that "[[Socialism]] is being used by [[Satanist]]s in Islam as a tool to now further the threat of [[Christianity]] being replaced by Islam in the UK".<ref>http://4freedoms.com/group/uk/forum/topics/is-the-takeover-of-england-by-islam-just-history-taking-its?xg_source=activity</ref>

Baker is an English nationalist, as opposed to a British nationalist, and argues that [[England]] should leave the United Kingdom, which he seems to associate with Islam and socialism. This stance has led him to make such baffling comments as "Brits out of England".<ref>http://www.anti-fascists-online.com/brits-out-of-england-says-bill-baker/</ref>

He also appears to be a fan of arson: Baker has joked about burning down the Cowley Club in Brighton in September 2012, apparently in the belief that drugs are being sold there to fund Islamic extremism,<ref>http://edlnews.co.uk/index.php/featured-stories/derek-fender-corner/818-bill-baker-plans-arson-attack-on-cowley-club</ref> and made a similar comment about an Islamic stall in Barking.<ref>http://exposingon.tumblr.com/post/3431392856/bill-baker-the-ena-the-english-defence-league</ref>

Reportedly, Bill Baker is the true identity of the [[Anglo-Saxon Foundation]] member "PersecutedPatriot".<ref>http://www.englisc-gateway.com/bbs/topic/34897-after-over-300-years-of-british-occupancy-will-england-soon-be-free/#entry160537</ref><ref><capture>http://www.englisc-gateway.com/bbs/topic/35509-of-course-were-germanic/#entry163885</capture></ref> He is disliked by that group as well, this time for not being bigoted ''enough'': one ASF poster has even called him a "Liberal/Lefty" who may be trying to "swamp England with none white Colonists, invaders, savages, and Turd World run away's".<ref><capture>http://www.englisc-gateway.com/bbs/topic/34897-after-over-300-years-of-british-occupancy-will-england-soon-be-free/</capture></ref>

According to [[Hope not Hate]], Baker is connected to [[Operation_Black_Vote#Operation_English_Vote|Operation English Vote]], a small far-right outlet active on Facebook and Twitter.<ref>http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/blog/article/2094/bills-bad-olympics</ref> OEV is itself a part of the New Patriot Alliance,<ref>https://www.facebook.com/pages/Operation-English-Vote-Member-of-the-New-Patriot-Alliance/394185540634034?ref=ts&fref=ts</ref> an attempt by fellow ex-EDLer Tony Curtis to unite various splinter groups.<ref>http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/blog/article/2172/another-weekend-another-splinter-group</ref>
