Anne Marie Waters, born on 6 April 1977 in Sheffield, England, is a British far-right activist and political figure of Irish descent with dual British and Irish nationality. She grew up in Northern Ireland and began her career in the civil service and trade unions before entering politics. Waters joined the UK Independence Party (UKIP) in 2016 and ran for its leadership in 2017, securing second place with 21% of the vote but losing to Henry Bolton. Her campaign emphasized anti-Islam policies, including bans on the burqa and halal meat, and opposition to Sharia law, drawing accusations of Islamophobia. Disillusioned with UKIP's direction, she founded the For Britain Movement in September 2017, a minor political party advocating British nationalism, free speech, and resistance to what she describes as Islamist extremism and cultural erosion. The party fielded candidates but achieved limited electoral success and announced its disbandment in 2022. Waters has been a vocal supporter of Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) and has sponsored his legal defenses. She has faced deplatforming, including social media bans, and criticism for associating with far-right groups. Throughout her career, she has been accused of promoting hate speech and condemned by anti-fascist groups, though she denies being racist or far-right, framing her activism as defending Western values against radical Islam. Legal challenges include a 2018 employment tribunal loss against UKIP for discrimination, and investigations under hate speech laws without convictions. She continues to operate as an independent journalist and commentator, with influence remaining niche within Britain's populist right and ties to international anti-Islam networks.
