| '''The Association''', more officially the '''Shoreditch Association''', was a [[fascism|fascist]] group led by [[London]] builder's merchant [[George Ratcliffe]].
| |
|
| |
|
| It had been founded in the [[1930s]]. In 1936, the Association took part in the march down [[Cable Street]], espousing their patriotism and their pride in fighting against [[Bolshevik]]s, [[Jew]]s and other [[minority group]]s. However, when Ratcliffe had spoken out against [[World War II]], believing that [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]] should ally itself with [[Nazi]] [[Germany]], the Association abandoned him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')

| After the war, Ratcliffe had to rebuild the Association. In the 1950s, it started targeting West Indian immigrants: an easier target than Jews were in this endeavour, as they were "more obvious" and "more different." In the longer term, Ratcliffe hoped to stage a [[coup]] and bring the Association to [[power]]. However, as the economic conditions weren't as severe as the 1930s, he despaired that not enough people required scapegoats and the Association couldn't recruit as many people as it used to. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')

| [[Sergeant]] [[Mike Smith]] was secretly a member. The group was semi-public enough that Smith felt safe calling them "my friends" around [[Ace]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
| |
| | |
| In [[1963]], as the Association's leader, Ratcliffe allied himself with the [[Renegade Dalek]]s during "the [[Shoreditch Incident]]". They enlisted him to help retrieve the [[Hand of Omega]]. Meanwhile, Smith tried to get Ratcliffe's officially working with the [[Intrusion Counter-Measures Group]], presenting them to [[Ian Gilmore]] as just locals who could be useful ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') for any anciliary tasks. Gilmore was unaware of the Shoreditch Association's past and only vaguely remembered Ratcliffe's name. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (novelisation)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')

| After assisting in the killings of the [[Dalek|Daleks]]' opposition, the other members of the Association were exterminated. When Ratcliffe asked the [[Battle computer|Dalek Battle Computer]] why, it replied that he was a [[slave]] and born to serve the Daleks. After Mike Smith and he were taken as prisoner, Ratcliffe tried to abscond with the Renegade Daleks' [[Time Controller]] but was killed by death-rays fired by [[Judith Winters]] who was slaved to their battle computer, before he could leave with it. Mike Smith was exterminated shortly thereafter. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')

| Ratcliffe's son took charge of the remnants of the Association and began a quiet infiltration of parts of the military-industrial complex and establishment, including giving [[Woden Armaments]] the funding and contacts it needed to work as a front. While rumours came out about their activity, rather than ''the'' Association it was mistaken as ''a'' association of groups. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Birds of Passage (novel)|Birds of Passage]]'')
