The Association

The Association was a fascist group led by London builder's merchant, George Ratcliffe.

History
Ratcliffe had spoken out against World War II, having believed that Great Britain should ally itself with the Nazis, rather than fight them. He was imprisoned for this. After the war, Ratcliffe ran the Association. Sergeant Mike Smith was secretly a member. In 1963, as the Association's leader, Ratcliffe allied himself with the Renegade Daleks during "the Shoreditch Incident". They enlisted him to help retrieve the Hand of Omega.

After assisting in the killings of the Daleks' opposition, the other members of the Association were exterminated. When Ratcliffe asked the Dalek Battle Computer why, it replied that he was a slave, and born to serve the Daleks. After Mike Smith and he were taken prisoner, he tried to abscond with the Renegade Daleks' Time Controller, but was killed by death-rays fired by a young girl who was slaved to their battle computer, before he could. She exterminated Smith later. After the death of Ratcliffe, what happened to the Association is unknown. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
