The Public Order Act 1936 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (citation 1 Edw. 8 & 1 Geo. 6 c. 6) passed to control extremist political movements in the 1930s such as the British Union of Fascists (BUF). Largely the work of Home Office civil servant Frank Newsam,[1] the Act banned the wearing of political uniforms in any public place or public meeting. It also required police consent for political marches to go ahead (now covered by the Public Order Act 1986). The Act also prohibited organising, training or equipping an "association of persons ... for the purpose of enabling them to be employed in usurping the functions of the police or of the armed forces of the Crown," or "for the use or display of physical force in promoting any political object." The Act had the indirect result of actually improving the stance of the BUF. Their forced abandonment of paramilitary and armed tactics improved the party's relations with the police, and in making it more "respectable" increased the BUF appeal among traditionally conservative middle-class citizens, who became the party's main base in the years after the Public Order Act was passed.[2] The Act was used extensively against IRA and Sinn Féin demonstrations in the 1970s, though the act does not extend to Northern Ireland. In November 1974, 12 people were each fined the maximum £50 under the Act for wearing black berets at Speakers' Corner during a Sinn Féin anti-Internment rally.[3] The public order act was also used extensively against the flying pickets during the 1984/5 miner's strike. The police used it on the grounds of preventing a breach of the peace.
