Western Goals (Uk)

Western Goals (UK) was the British branch of the American organisation the Western Goals Foundation. The Western Goals (UK) branch was formed in May 1985 and its initial Parliamentary Advisory Board included the Rev. Martin Smyth, the MP for South Belfast, who was also a vice-president of the group. Western Goals soon took up campaigning against allegedly left-wing charities such as Oxfam and War on Want, and denouncing Labour Left candidates such as Ken Livingstone as 'extremists' during the 1987 election campaign. In 1988 they helped organise a visit to Britain by Jonas Savimbi leader of Angola's UNITA rebel group. The next year they brought over the head (Andries Treunicht) and the foreign affairs spokesman (Clive Derby-Lewis) of the South African Conservative Party. Major Roberto D'Aubuisson of El Salvador's Nationalist Republican Alliance became their honorary patron. This created controversy as D'Aubuisson was alleged to be the prime mover behind death squads during the El Salvadorean Civil War. They organised a fringe meeting at the 1989 Conservative Party conference at which French MEP Yvan Blot of Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front National spoke from the same platform as Clive Derby-Lewis. Derby-Lewis became a Vice President of the group and their delegate to a World Anti-Communist League conference in 1990. Western Goals also voiced support for Germany's radical right Republican Party led by Franz Schonhuber.
