“Politics will lead you down many paths, but a conservative and a patriot will never be far from the Bow Group. Against the tide of globalism, liberalism, and Marxism the Bow Group stands resolute.
The Bow Group is where conservatism begins and ends in Britain, there is nowhere else like it.”
Ben Harris-Quinney, Bow Group Chairman
“It is my honour to accept the role of Senior Patron of the Bow Group, one of the very few conservative institutions that has been there throughout my life, and is ever renewing its commitment to conservatism…rather than demuring from it.”
Sir Roger Scruton, Bow Group Honorary Patron
“It’s so important to have a really strong intellectual base from which to develop policy, and the research material that began the Brexit movement and the Maastricht rebellion was a pamphlet published by the Bow Group. The Bow Group has always been at the heart of British and conservative patriotism.”
Sir Bill Cash MP, Bow Group Senior Patron
“All organisations that are not avowedly right-wing will eventually become left-wing.”
Dr John O’Sullivan, Bow Group Senior Patron
