Action (newspaper)

Action was a newspaper of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF). The paper first appeared in 1936. The editor of the paper from 1939 was Alexander Raven Thomson, the BUF's chief ideologue. It ceased publication in 1940 due to the outbreak of the Second World War and the interment of the BUF's leadership. For most of its existence, Action ran parallel to the official mouthpiece of the BUF, The Blackshirt. After the launch of the less hard-line Action, The Blackshirt became more targeted at committed fascists.

Action took its name from an earlier 1931 newspaper of the same name published by Mosley's New Party.

A later newspaper of the same name was published by the Union Movement from 1966.
