Actually the Ku Klux Klan does have a handful of adherents in the UK. Every now and then UK klansmen get a tiny amount of news coverage.
1. The white hoods made a recent appearance, on Saturday 30 September 2006, at the Gretna vs Airdre United match. They were worn inside the Gretna ground by some Airdre fans. This incident occurred when Gretna striker Matthew Berkeley was brought on in the second-half.
(a) This was reported by the BBC.
(b) Airdre United condemned the actions of its so-called supporters.
(c) Gretna FC also affirmed its commitment to combatting racism.
2. On Saturday 24 June 2006, two men joined a carnival parade at Wigton, Cumbria dressed in Ku Klux Klan hoods and gowns. This unauthorised action was condemned by the carnival commitee, and the police launched an investigation - see the BBC report.
3. On 14 June 2006, the BBC reported that a man had been arrested following the spraying of a wall with racist symbols, which included Ku Klux Klan logos in red paint. This took place Highfields Road, Hinckley, Leicestershire.
4. On Tuesday 21 October 2003, the BBC broadcast a documentary prepared by an undercover reporter investigating racism in the police. The programme showed a member of the Greater Manchester police force admitting he hated an Asian colleague so much that he would like to put on a Ku Klux Klan-style hood and then kill him.
5. The activities of the racist far right are monitored in a campaigning monthly anti-fascist magazine called Searchlight.
(a) Have a look at the information on its back issues, and scan down to the February 2003 edition for a former British Ku Klux Klan activist, now involved with the BNP.
(b) There is a Trade Union Friends of Searchlight (TUFS) group which provides support for the magazine within the trade union movement. Its Issue 10 (Summer 2003) gives more information on the above individual - see the foot of page 3.
(c) You can find the comments that he left on the BBC's website following a Panorama programme about the BNP called "Under The Skin".
6. Getting back to your original question as to how you can contact the UK branch of the Ku Klux Klan. I suggest that you log on to the Klan's US site. Actually the main website has been brought down by hackers (occasionally even a hacker is useful).

not in any respect heard of one in uk. And to anybody else.. you're quickly assuming this guy is white, a racist and needs to to hitch the KKK.. No the position in that query does he say his coloration, race, racial view or his intentions of transforming into a member of. - He requested the position they are frequently contacted and if there's a club nevertheless. have you ever idea that he perhaps a black activist...? No because you quickly assume white racist without data. Political staggering insanity. Wow..

I'm not sure that they have a branch of the KKK over there. It's an American organization that was founded by white southerners after they lost the American Civil War.
btw, I wouldn't help anyone find any branch of the KKK! One of my relatives was beaten by them for being Catholic about 70 some-odd years ago. As far as I'm concerned, the KKK can tie themselves to their crosses before setting them on fire.

i don't think the klu klux klan have a British arm, i think we have people like the British National Party (BNP) and National Front (NF) that are the same kind of thing but based in the U.K and use a political stance to half disguise what they stand for, they generally just want i white Britain to cut a long story short,
well i think

Not sure if there is one.... try the white supremacist website (called stormfront or something) - they might have more information on similar organisations in the UK.
