Following an embarrasing shoplifting incident Jordan left the British Movement with leadership falling into the hands of Michael McLaughlin , a Liverpudlian former milkman, in 1975. McLaughlin would later clash with another leading member Ray Hill , who was later revealed to be a "mole" for the anti-fascist Searchlight magazine, and as a result about half of the membership followed Hill in joining the newly launched British National Party in 1982. The BM failed to recover from the split and McLaughlin announced its liquidation in September 1983.
This group is not directly related to the present group called the National Socialist Movement, which was formed in 1997.
