Nation Revisited # 222, August 2025

 International Finance



The Jews are often accused of controlling international finance, but all races and religions are involved. The four biggest banks in the world are Chinese, and the Gulf States invest their oil money all over the world. Extremists of the far-right and the lunatic-left want to blow up the Stock Exchange and burn down the Bank of England. But they would not eliminate finance capitalism by destroying the temples of commerce. Today everything is online. 

The international banks set the price of everything from bombs to bananas by manipulating the market and juggling interest rates. Individuals like Elon Musk (pictured) are wealthier than some countries. He isn't a banker as such but his wealth is invested all over the world.

The High Street Banks, as we used to call them when they were to be found in every high street, handle our salaries, pay our mortgages and utilities, and manage our pensions. The friendly bank manager who knew your father has been replaced by a computer, but they still provide a good service, as long as you are in credit. 

The would be destroyers of capitalism probably don't realise that their pensions are invested on the Stock Exchange, or that the Bank of England regulates the Hight Street Banks to stop them overtrading. 

Margaret Thatcher tore up most banking regulations when she launched the 'Big Bang' in 1986. Banks were able to lend money with little or no security. They even issued 'pulse mortgages', if the customer had a pulse he could have a mortgage. This madness lasted until 2008 when it came crashing down in the Global Financial Crisis.

Under the new rules banks will only lend money to customers who have good jobs and collateral. This has hit small traders who rely on overdrafts, and young couples wanting to buy a home of their own.

Somewhere between the boom of the Big Bang era and the miserly austerity of today, lies a happy medium of economic stability. 

There is nothing inherently evil about interest rates. If a bank takes a chance by lending money to a customer they are entitled to a return on their capital. And if a saver invests his money in government bonds he is entitled to a dividend.

A reasonable interest rate of four or five percent is acceptable, but it all goes wrong when banks charge exorbitant rates that their customers can't afford. It's the government's responsibility to regulate the banks, but far too many of our politicians are shareholders or directors of banks and investment companies that make excessive profits.

These greedy and unprincipled Members of Parliament don't want to curtail the banks, and they don't want more houses built, for the simple reason that they benefit from the status quo. As the Good Book reminds us: "The love of money is the root of all evil." 


Starmer and Churchill

Keir Starmer sees himself as another Winston Churchill. He compares acceptance of the Russian reconquest of Ukraine with the situation leading to the Second World War. Winston  Churchill opposed 'appeasement' and led Britain in an economically disastrous war with Germany. We won the war and lost the Empire.

Winston Churchill was undoubtedly a warmonger but he knew what war was all about, having served as a cavalry officer in the Sudan War of 1896 - 99, and as a war correspondent for the Morning Post in the South African War. He was First Lord of the Admiralty in WW1 until the disastrous Dardanelles campaign, and he flew around the world during WW2 to visit battlefields and to confer with his allies, Joseph Stalin and FD Roosevelt. 

Keir Starmer has no such military background. He has never fired a shot in  anger, but he doesn't hesitate to put British soldiers in the front line in Ukraine. Fortunately, this lunatic plan will never come to pass because the Russians will not allow it. President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that NATO troops wouldn't be allowed in Ukraine as part of a peace settlement. Nevertheless, Keir Starmer is determined to get involved in a quarrel that has nothing to do with us, and he has even hinted at conscription to bolster our modest peacetime army of 75,000 men.

He must not be allowed to bring back military conscription, despite his huge parliamentary majority and the support of the right wing press. British soldiers are trained and equipped for the defence of our country. They should not be used to prop up a corrupt cocaine-sniffing dictator like Volodymyr Zelensky. If Keir Starmer wants to go to war he should get himself into the British Army, preferably as a frontline infantryman.


The Younger Generation


The average age of a RAF pilot in the Battle of Britain was 20.

I was born in 1945 at the end of the Second World War. My earliest memories are queuing up with my mother to buy rationed groceries. Nearly all the men had served in the armed forces or the merchant navy, they were social conservatives who valued tradition and discipline. 

I went to work in this austere but stable environment at the age of 15 and very quickly learned to fend for myself. I hated my school which specialised in sport and brutality, but I loved going to work, and always did until my forced retirement at the age of 66.

With my particular background I find it difficult to understand the younger generation. Of course, there are outstanding youngsters who work hard and respect their elders, but many of them are layabouts who just want to smoke dope and collect their dole money.

Well-meaning people have suggested a return to military conscription, harder prison sentences, compulsory apprenticeships, and the like. But none of these measures could replace the lost culture that I enjoyed as a kid.

Put simply it was God, King and Country. We respected the police and obeyed the law. We were completely different to the young demonstrators who taunt the police and disrupt society with their childish politics. 

Some years ago the government introduced a Youth Opportunities Scheme. I was given a teenager to train as a construction worker. I assigned him to an experienced man and told him to listen and learn  But within a short time he was sent back to me as 'unemployable'. When I asked the lad what the trouble was he said: "Nobody tells me what to do." I often wonder what happened to him.

I have not forgotten that it was young men who flew Spitfires and Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain, who chased the Axis forces out of Egypt, and stormed the beaches of Normandy on D Day. They were the bravest and the best, but their great grandchildren are a sad disappointment.

To be fair to the younger generation it's harder to get a job than it was in my day. They need a degree to get a decent job but university fees are prohibitively expensive. And now they are in competition with imported Indians who don't have to pay National Insurance contributions under Keir Starmer's trade deal with India.

We can't recreate the culture of the post-war era but we can teach our youngsters to respect themselves and their fellow countrymen. They have been fed defeatist propaganda by left-wing teachers, taught to hate their own country and brainwashed into accepting multiculturalism. But the tide is turning. The rejection of self hate liberalisms that started in the USA looks set to cross the Atlantic. We don't want to turn our youngsters into insular nationalists, but healthy patriotism must be encouraged. 

We should remind them that our little archipelago in the North Atlantic conquered half the world, built roads, railways, bridges and viaducts, spread the English language and the Christian religion, and planted universities and courts of justice  all over the British Empire. 

Of course, there were bumps along the road, natives uprisings were put down, treaties were violated and treasures were plundered, but all in all the British Empire was a force for good.

We should also tell them of our scientific achievements; the steam engine, the jet engine, computers, the Internet, and many more. In fact, Britain has contributed to every aspect of human development.

We don't preach exceptionalism, like the Americans and the Israelis, but we have nothing to be ashamed of. The negative anti-British propaganda of the lunatic left must be driven out of our schools and replaced with a healthy respect for our race and nation.


The Menace of Global Capitalism - John Bean, from his website 'Beanstalk' 2003.



Veteran nationalist writer John Bean 1927 - 2021

We of the Radical Right are supporters of the small businessman and free enterprise. Nevertheless, we can have sympathy, if not empathy, with certain aspects of the militant campaign against global capitalism, even if we draw the line at attempts to do a "twin towers" job on the Stock Exchange building and other City of London finance houses. Finance should serve the business of the country; not control it. 

In this 21st century, finance has set its horizons far beyond the nation state: it is now controlling the global market, and the interests of individual nations, whether it is Britain or Brazil, count for nothing. As one British manufacturing base after another has been closed down - with the loss of 10,000 jobs each month - and manufacture transported eastwards at an ever increasing pace to "take advantage of cheaper labour costs." New Labour- with support from the other PODs (Parties of Decay) has told us in Britain that the jobs are being replaced by employment in the service industry. Mark you, there is not much room here for ex-miners, shipbuilders, and steelworkers, as most of the new jobs are for women. Perhaps the largest growth sector in the service industry is the call centre. Until recently we were told that it would soon be employing one in five in the UK.

Perhaps the pundits would now like to revise that figure now that Aviva (Norwich Union) and HSBC are now following Prudential in closing its UK call centres in the long term, with the loss of several thousand British jobs, and reopen them in India!  Some analysts believe a fifth of all insurance call centre jobs in the UK will be outsourced to India by 2010. Those of us who have been to India know that there are countless thousands of Indians who have a good command of English. But what an accent. It takes a fortnight to crack the code. 

Let us hope that Prudential, Norwich Union and HSBC get everything that is coming to them, and, more important, that the Bovine Brits wake up to how they are once again being conned. This time by the menace of global capitalism.

Nation Revisited: I knew John Bean from 1961 until his death in 2021. We agreed about 90% of the time but we argued endlessly about the other 10%. He believed in biological racialism but I favoured Oswald Mosley's approach to the complex subject of national identity.

JB successively belonged to Union Movement, the League of Empire Loyalists, The National Labour Party, The 1960 British National Party, the National Front, and Nick Griffin's BNP. He knew all the leaders and officials of the nationalist parties, but I was the only political mourner at his funeral. Most of his contemporaries were dead or too old and fragile to make the journey to the remote Suffolk village of Wickhambrook.

He was a practical man who fought against extremism, but most nationalists were seduced by fantasists such as Colin Jordan and John Tyndall.

I miss our email correspondence, his intelligence, his occasional spiteful recollections, and his vulgar sense of humour. May he rest in peace.


The Times Are a Changing

When Bob Dillon sang his mournful ballad in the sixties he was welcoming the change to liberalism from the disciplined era of the Second World War. Black people were demanding their civil rights and the younger generation were protesting against the Vietnam War. And so it was that we entered a phase of 'progressive' liberalism that lasted 60 years and encompassed the world.

I am not a Hindu, I don't believe in Kali Yuga, the Age of Darkness, and I reject inevitability in human affairs. The world is what we make it and social attitudes are constantly evolving. Of course, Black people deserved to be treated fairly, and youngsters had every right to refuse to fight in Vietnam, far from their homeland.

But social changes often go too far in the beginning. Revolutions tend to consume revolutionaries and libertarians become assassins overnight. Citizen Robespierre started out as a "Sea Green Incorruptible" but soon became the bloodstained director of the Committee of Public Safety. France descended into chaos until Napoleon Bonaparte emerged to instil military discipline, but then he went too far by invading Russia, which is never a good idea.

The revolution sweeping the United States of America will probably follow the same course of events, until natural stability kicks in. Donald Trump is right to release the left-wing grip on law and education. He is right to rescue schoolchildren from ideologically twisted teachers, but unfortunately, he doesn't understand economics and his views on world trade are driven by paranoia. He really believes that the European Union was set up to take advantage of America. 

But the world is run by what Rudyard Kipling called "The Gods of the Copy Book Heading." Markets sort themselves out and goods and services always get through. 

The times were a changing in the sixties and they are changing again. The experiment in multiculturalism has failed. People prefer the company of their own kind and they resent government attempts to force them into diversity.

We will never return to the old days when races and nations expanded up to natural borders; rivers, oceans, mountains and deserts. Today all the races of the world can be found in our major cities and modern transportation continually adds to the mixture. We have damned ourselves with our own .technology and there's no going back.

But that doesn't mean that the White Race if finished. We can survive and prosper under a system of natural apartheid, or separate development. Great remigrations can be organised with international cooperation, but If we have to share the same territory with non-Europeans we can still keep our own culture and traditions, so long as we emphatically reject the suicidal doctrine of liberalism.

Not so long ago such talk would have been anathema to the gutless politicians that infest the West. But now even the UK Labour Party is committed to immigration control - or so they say. The Times are a changing. 


The Chosen People and the Master Race

The Nazis believed that the Germanic people were a 'Master Race' destined to rule the world. This belief led Adolf Hitler to invade the Soviet Union and bring about the total defeat of the Third Reich. He considered the Slavic people to be racial inferiors incapable of civilisation. He ignored great composers such as Pyotr Tchaikovsky, writers such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, and scientists such as Segei Korolov. Instead he put his faith in the pseudo-scientific theories of Houston Stewart Chamberlain who practised long before the discovery of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. The great anthropologists of the 20th century believed in Piltdown Man, the 1912 forgery that was not uncovered until 1954, and the Human Genome Project was only completed in 2003.

Racism is autism on a national scale that always leads to disaster. The Germans have abandoned the Master Race theory but the Israelis have taken up the banner of supremacism with their Chosen People ideology. There is virtually no difference between them. Like the Nazis the Likudniks have no empathy for other races which they think are there to serve them. They feel no guilt about bombing civilians and starving children because they believe they have God's permission.

When Israel was invaded by Hamas in October 2023 the whole world sympathised with them. But after killing some 50,000 Palestinians in revenge attacks they have alienated their former supporters. The Likudniks are currently following the same path as the Nazis and, if they don't relent, they will suffer the same fate.

Nation Revisited # 221, July 2025

Controlling the Internet 




Prime Minister Keir Starmer the former Public Prosecutor who wants to control the Internet.

Parents and teachers are worried that children are watching porn on the Internet. This is a genuine concern but censorship can be used by governments to supress opposition. Several nationalists are currently serving prison sentences for posting viewpoints considered to be extremist by Keir Starmer's Labour Party.

These self-appointed censors want to control the Internet, which was invented to promote free speech. They will use the excuse of child protection to supress legitimate criticism by shutting down websites that they don't like

They will start by attacking openly Nazi sites, and then move on to nationalists, and eventually to traditional conservatives. As always happens, these Committee of Public Safety zealots will compete with each other to strangle dissent and lock up anyone who dares to challenge them.

If they are not stopped they will turn the UK into a police state populated by submissive subjects who are frightened to open their mouths. The goal of tyrants throughout the ages has always been a docile population.

We can only hope that the breath of fresh air now blowing through American universities crosses the Atlantic. The liberal leftists have had their own way for decades, but their reign of intellectual terror might be coming to an end. Soon we will be able to say: "Britain for the British" without looking out for Keir Starmer's thought police.

That's why it's vital to express your opinions whenever possible. The tide is turning in in our favour. Subjects that were formally taboo, such as mass migration, are now being discussed by the mainstream media. Decades of incessant liberal propaganda and dictatorial censorship have not silenced us.

The following unreported news was sent in by Mike Wardle on 26th April 2025.

A bit of news today that you will not see in the news. About 5,000 Indians gathered outside the High Commission of Pakistan in Belgravia today. They played very loud music , waved flags, chanted and held up placards. In response the Pakistani staff and others blocked the road from them. The Police, badly outnumbered, tried to keep the two sides apart. .Several arrests were made for abusing police officers. Interesting to see Palestinian flags being waved by Pakistanis; Muslims supporting fellow Muslims.

The Police were overwhelmed as fists flew. They tried to keep order but both sides turned on them and the DSU riot squad was called in, but the rioters ignored their pathetic pleas of "stop that" and " No you must not do that."

I expect total silence from Mayor Khan and Keir Starmer on this. If  British demonstrators had waved Union Jacks or the cross of St George it would have been different. Modern Britain !


Myths


David Irving the historian who debunked many WW11 myths.

Mankind has always been comforted by myths. They are the basis of religion and philosophy, and preferable to the hard facts of history.

Many myths have been disproved time and time again, but people still perpetuate them.

Almost every historian wrote that the Dunkirk evacuation was only possible because the Germans held back on Hitler's orders. They infer that the Fuhrer allowed us to rescue the British expeditionary force in the hope of a peace deal. This is not true. In fact, the Germans were held back by the fierce resistance of the French Army.

Hitler thought that the Royal Navy wouldn't be able to penetrate their sea defences, but British scientists had come up with degaussing, a way to demagnetise our ships to avoid detonating German sea mines.

The result was that we evacuated 300,000 British and French soldiers.

Another myth concerning WW11 is that the Germans were initially unable to resist the Normandy invasion because they couldn't wake Hitler, who liked to sleep late. But Hitler was up and about on D Day and in full communication with his army in France. He expected the invasion to happen in the Pas de Calais and was taken by surprise when Allied forces invaded Normandy. It wasn't that he was asleep but because he didn't know what to do.

Dunkirk and Normandy are just two of the many myths surrounding Adolf Hitler. He was only a corporal in WW1, he never attended staff college, and, being a middle class Austrian,  he was not part of the aristocratic Prussian military tradition.

The early success of the German Army in WW11 was the result of military strategy developed in WW1. The use of combined tanks, artillery, infantry, and air power was irresistible until the Allies got their act together, at El Alemein and Stalingrad, using the same tactics. 

Adolf Hitler was a flawed visionary with intelligence and charisma. He had views on practically everything that he expounded to his generals far into the night. He was a natural leader with a dynamic personality, but he was not a military genius; that's just another myth.


Terrorism - Vic Sarson

The modern British State is a monstrosity. It has become the enemy of its own people. All arms of the State are failing and are seriously dysfunctional.

When we look at the various terrorist attacks; the attack at the Houses of Parliament where a policeman was fatally stabbed may have been something random and unpredictable, but I doubt it. I think the individual was already known to the security services, but the two London Bridge incidents, the Streatham incident, and the Manchester bombing were all preventable.

Regarding the Borough Market attack, the killers were being watched throughout that day as they were preparing for it. When the attack began the response of the police and anti-terror units were too quick to be credible. It appears to be that those incidents were allowed to happen.


Psychopathy


Psychopathy is a personality construct characterised by impaired empathy and remorse, along with traits such as boldness, disinhibition and egocentrism. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit callousness, detachment and a lack of emotional depth, which enables them to manipulate others without guilt. While psychopathy is not a formal clinical diagnosis it is frequently associated wit h antisocial personality disorder (ASP) which includes symptoms like low empathy and impulsivity. Recent research indicates that psychopathy can manifest in varying degrees and types, highlighting its complexity. Wikipedia.

People who plant bombs, shoot politicians, or drive cars into crowds, are psychopaths. It doesn't matter if they are Islamic terrorists, far-right terrorists, or non partisan terrorists, like the Canadian killer who drove his car into a crowd of women and children in Vancouver.

Psychopathic killers don't show remorse. The Islamic terrorists are proud of their atrocities, and so are far-right criminals. Anders Breivik, the unrepentant mass murderer sued the Norwegian government for violating his human rights.

Liberals might protest that these people are suffering from a mental condition and need be treated. I disagree, if a dog starts biting people we have it put down. And there's some doubt that psychopaths can be cured.

I always opposed the death penalty because the police and the courts often make mistakes; remember the Birmingham Six. But I have now changed my mind. If a terrorist is caught red handed he should be hanged, not out of revenge but because he is too dangerous to be left alive.

But before handing convicted terrorists over to the hangman they should be thoroughly interrogated to obtain information, not by torture but by the use of truth drugs such as sodium pentothal or scopolamine.

Capital punishment would not deter most psychopathic killers because they don't care if they are executed, but it would deter the individual terrorist if he found himself at the end of a rope. Dead men cannot commit murder.

As for making them martyrs; Joseph Stalin (pictured) said: "One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic." History has written Stalin down as a monster, but he had the right idea about terrorists. He actually started his career as a train robber in Georgia, so he knew what he was talking about.


The Respectable Right




John Tyndall speaking at a National Labour Party meeting circa 1959, before he donned the Spearhead uniform. Note the NLP cross and star symbol now used by Nation Revisited. This was bequeathed to me by John Bean who designed it. The cross stands for our culturally Christian nation and the star stands of socialism. The NLP stood for a Confederation of European States, not quite Mosley's vision splendid of 'Europe a Nation' but far from the insular nationalism of later movements. The Party was not respectable, being comprised of people like Colin Jordan and former Union Movement members who thought that Mosley was too soft on the Jews.

In 2023 I wrote an article for the independent nationalist magazine Heritage and Destiny which explained that all the parties of the so-called far-right are descended from the pre-war fascist movements. This connection to the past bedevilled parties such as the National Front and the British National Party. Every time they held a meeting or stood in a local election, pictures of John Tyndall in his Spearhead uniform would appear in the mass media to remind the public of his fascist past.

The general public know virtually nothing about the social achievements of Fascist Italy or National Socialist Germany. Both regimes introduced welfare programs and pensions, but all the punters know about is the concentration camps. Eighty years of incessant propaganda have ingrained the public mind with the Holocaust and linked that atrocity to harmless British patriots who simply want to control immigration.

Now, as if by a miracle, Nigel Farage and his Reform UK party have  burst upon the scene, unencumbered by any fascist skeletons in the cupboard. So careful is Nigel Farage to remain respectable that he employs the 'antifascist' organisation Hope Not Hate to check potential members against a register of known fascists. 

I am not interested in conspiracy theories but the fact that the Daily Mail supports Nigel Farage leads me to distrust him. He appeals to the public on immigration and Brexit, but he is totally subservient to Donald Trump. He is as fast talking and genial as car salesman, and as sincere as an estate agent,  but he is not to be trusted. A respectable British Nationalists is too good to be true.


A Little More Nose

I met an elderly Englishman in Cape Town in the sixties who had served in Buckingham Palace during the reign of King George V1 who told me the following story. The great financier John Pierpont Morgan was visiting the UK to lend the government some money. He was invited to Buckingham Palace to take tea with the Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth was worried that her little girls, Elizabeth and Margaret, would notice Morgan's very large nose. She told them that they were not to mention the gentleman's nose and not to look at it. As she poured the tea she asked him: "would you like a little more nose?" He replied: "No thanks ma'am, I have more than enough."

Because of his vast fortune and his large nose JP Morgan was often mistaken for a Jew, but he was in fact a practising Episcopalian (Anglican) of British descent.

Nation Revisited # 220, June 2025

Taking Sides 




I had my first political opinion in 1956 when I was 11 years-old. Two momentous events happened that year, the Suez Crisis and the Russian invasion of Hungary. 

I automatically sided with Britain over Suez. I thought that we were defending the Empire against Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser (pictured) who was reputed to be a dangerous communist. 

And I was incensed that the brave Hungarian rebels had been put down by the Red Army.

Some years later I realised that the Suez invasion was a British, French and Israeli collaboration to redraw the map of the Middle East and bring about regime change in Egypt. 

Nasser was encouraging the Algerians in their colonial struggle with France, and he was supporting the Arab rebellion in Aden which was a British possession. Far from being a communist Colonel Nasser was an  Arab Nationalist who had every right to nationalize the Suez Canal which ran entirely through Egyptian territory.

The Hungarian uprising was easier to understand. The Soviets feared that if one satellite state successfully broke away from Moscow, the whole post-war settlement would come tumbling down. This happened over 30 years later when the Poles gained their independence followed by all the captive states of the Soviet Union including Ukraine, Belarus and Russia itself.

What strikes me now is the double standards that I shared with most of my countrymen. We thought it right for Britain, France and Israel to invade Egypt in defence of their foreign policies but we condemned the Soviet Union for doing the same thing. 

Those who obsess about 'sovereignty' should remember that the Suez invasion was the last time that Britain went against American foreign policy. It seems incredible today but in the 1950s the USA was opposed to Israeli expansion and British and French involvement in the Middle East. 

US President Dwight Eisenhower ordered an end to the invasion, which resulted in our humiliating withdrawal.

Today, the expansive imperial power is the USA.  Russia's intervention in Ukraine was provoked by NATO's recruitment of Finland and Sweden and the stationing of missiles on Russia's borders. Despite Western propaganda there is no evidence that President Putin wants to reconstruct the Soviet Union. 

The USA, on the other hand, is threatening to annex Greenland, Panama and Canada, and they have started a tariff war with the rest of the world.

According to our charmless prime minister Keir Starmer, taking sides with Russia is an act of treason. This is the same jingoistic nonsense that gripped the nation at the time of the Suez fiasco. But there's nothing patriotic about waging a war that can only end in humiliation, be it in Egypt or Ukraine,


Frank P Walsh




At a New Year's meeting of old comrades we remembered Frank Walsh, and in a recent conversation with Colin Todd his name cropped up again. His memory lives on.

I first met Frank Walsh at a meeting in London of Troy Southgate's New Right. He was handing out leaflets promoting his blog 'Our Voice' and his Patriotic People's Power Party. Despite his advanced age and severe mobility problems he fought against plutocracy to the bitter end.

Frank was born in Lancashire in 1925 and he died in London in 2020. His father was badly wounded in WW1 and as a result he was brought up in a children's home. He joined the Merchant Navy at the age of 14 and volunteered for the Army in 1943.

After WW2 he campaigned as an independent nationalist and was known as the 'King of Speakers Corner', the London venue long dominated by the Reds.

In his last years he was persecuted by Wandsworth Council for distributing leaflets in Putney Library. Eventually he was banned from the library but he continued his fight in Putney high street.

I used to visit Frank in his Roehampton flat where he produced his unique blog on an ancient IBM laptop. Surrounded by piles of books and magazines we drank coffee and talked politics.

Frank was 95 when he died. His body was worn out but his mind was still active and his sparkling blue eyes were crowned with bushy eyebrows.

Frank had one daughter who lived in Sweden. She is an embittered left-winger and when her father passed away she spitefully refused to release his collection of political books and papers. 

There were only four of us at his funeral; Stead Steadman brought a wreath on behalf of the London Forum, Frank's devoted carer Lynne Capocciama read a poem she wrote for the occasion, his Polish next-door neighbour Stephan stood in silent tribute, and so did I..

On a cold, wet and windy November morning we said farewell to a remarkable man .

He left us his book 'The Justiceans' Millenia', in which he expounded his thoughts in cartoons, poems and writings. His constant theme was the division of the world between producers and parasites; a situation that we know so well.


A Sense of Balance

Liberalism is rightly blamed for the ridiculously lenient sentences handed down to violent criminals. Our judges are graduates of liberal universities that teach nonsense, such as critical race theory and transexualism to students already corrupted by years of irresponsible parenting and undisciplined schooling.

Liberalism can also be blamed for the collapse of morality. The Christian churches have mostly abandoned their traditional values in favour of forgiveness. Jesus told us to: "forgive those who trespass against us," but he also  said: "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil."

But there is another side to this coin. Judges used to sentence  starving people to long prison sentences or transportation to Australia for stealing a loaf of bread. 

Debtors were thrown into prison, wives were considered to be the property of their husbands, male homosexuals were persecuted, and children were brutally exploited in dangerous factories.

Nobody wants to return to 'the good old days' before liberalism, but we have gone too far in the other direction. We need a sense of balance between authoritarianism and liberalism.

With the rise of Donald Trump in the USA, and the far-right throughout Europe, we can expect a change towards harsher sentences and stricter codes of morality, but God save us from the inhuman cruelty described by Charles Dickens.


A Service Economy                                            



Years ago I enjoyed the friendship of many old comrades who have since passed away. They did a variety of jobs, but not one of us made anything, we all worked in service trades, and that is typical of the entire British workforce.

Britain used to be a manufacturing country that exported goods all over the world. We churned out Morris Minors and Norton motorcycles for the White Dominions, we were a leading shipbuilding nation, and we mined British coal and iron ore to make steel for railways, bridges, munitions, and construction.

Manufacturing and mining employed millions of workers whose children now work as burger flippers or call centre operators. They may be gainfully employed but it's hard to be proud of such jobs.

Fortunately, we are good at high-tech industries such as precision engineering, pharmacy, communications, and financial services.

Many people dream of returning to manufacturing, but globalism is here to stay and there's no way that we can compete with China.

Now that the USA started a tariff war we will inevitably move closer to the European Union. Donald Trump can abandon world trade because the USA is practically self-sufficient, but Britain needs to import half of its food and energy, and we needs access to the European Union, the world's biggest trading bloc. 

Global corporations base their headquarters in the UK because the City of London is still an important centre of international banking and insurance.

We speak the same language as the Americans and we share much of their history and culture. We are grateful for the help they gave us in WW2 when we were literally bankrupt, but we cannot tolerate their aggressive imperialism.

We should quit NATO and tell the Americans to withdraw their armed forces from our territory. We should then cooperate with Europe on defence, and end our pointless hostility to Russia.

We may not have thousands of miners and steelworkers but we have legions of bankers and brokers. Our armed forces are much smaller than in the past, but the fire power of  the RAF and the Royal Navy would deter any enemy.

We need frigates and submarines to defend the British Isles, armed with nuclear capable cruise missiles, but we don't need two giant aircraft carriers with misaligned prop shafts, and we don't need the insanely expensive Trident missile system that requires American permission to be used.

We can survive and prosper as a service economy if we stop pretending to be a world power and learn to mind our own business.


The Police



We have known about the anti-white agenda of the Police for decades. It was never reported in the mass media but it was obvious that black and brown officers were being promoted, often beyond their capabilities, for political reasons. Now, at long last, the newspapers have started reporting the unfair and undemocratic practice of 'positive discrimination'.

Discriminating against people because of their race or religion is wrong whether they are black or white. 

Ten percent of our population is non-European so it's only right that they are represented in the Police. If they deserve promotion they should get it, but only on genuine merit, not because of a political quota system.

The fact that promotion according to 'positive discrimination' is now out in the open is a step in the right direction.

I asked our correspondent Vic Sarson for his opinion. He replied:

The upper echelons of the Met and all other UK police forces are corrupted with so-called liberalism that can never be changed because of their political stance or their corruptibility, which is why modern society is now out of control. Political appointees often lack the will to serve the public. They regard themselves as part of the elite with beliefs and attitudes that permeate their ranks.

What we need is a new police force.

I agree with Vic's assessment but how could we go about it. I guess we should start at the top, with senior cops resplendent in their Saville Row uniforms complete with gold braid. The ones who appear on television after a particularly vicious murder or terrorist attack to say: "lessons have been learned." It is they, rather than the ordinary copper on the beat, who has spread the vile doctrine of anti-white racism.


James Porrazzo RIP



We have lost another comrade. James Porrazzo was born in New York in 1972 and died in Novi Sad, Serbia on April 28th 2025. James was active in the Archeofuturist movement promoting a synthesis of left and right wing policies. May he rest in peace.

Nation Revisited # 219, May 2025

Conservatives With Knobs On



 Nigel Farage leader of Reform UK and MP for Clacton                    

Arnold Leese. the leader of the pre-war Imperial Fascist League, described the original British Fascists as "Conservatives with knobs on." The same might be said of Reform UK the populist-nationalist party led by Nigel Farage.

PN parties have come to power, or are on their way to power, throughout the world. They are usually described as 'far right' or 'hard right' or even 'fascist' but they are really just "Conservatives with knobs on." 

Nigel Farage proudly boasts that he destroyed the British National Party as the leader of UKIP. This is despite the fact that his policies on Europe and immigration were virtually the same as the BNP. The only differenced was that he was considered to be  'respectable' but Nick Griffin and his party were tainted with fascism.

In his 1999 political memoir "Many Shades of Black" John Bean described the post war nationalist movements in the UK. His account is informative and entertaining but subject to a degree of artistic license, for instance, there never was a banner carried by homosexuals proclaiming "Fairies for Fascism," .

Reform UK wants a ban on European workers but they are happy to accept Third World immigrants so long as they speak English and are prepared to be assimilated. Apart from a general dislike of foreigners they have no real policies. Their economics are entirely Thatcherite and their foreign policy is to blindly follow America.

Small numbers of immigrants can be assimilated over time but millions of aliens arriving all at once tend to form ghettos, and instead of adopting our culture they cling to their own, including 'honour killings' and female genital mutilation.

Nigel Farage insists that he is not part of the Old Gang that brought the United Kingdom to its present state of moral and economic bankruptcy. He may protest his innocence but his political record and his close connection with the City of London shows that he is undoubtedly a Tory with knobs on.


A War of Cultural Survival - Mike Wardle



.

We are witnessing the implementation of an organised plan by the State to  re-edit history. Portraits of Winston Churchill removed from Downing Street and government offices, portraits of Nelson taken from Naval training establishments. Victoria Crosses removed from public display at the Imperial War Museum. History re-written, edited and re-told. A new wave of Brit and Hollywood movies and TV series tell the narrative of the African rich and famous in Tudor times, portraying a British past  in which Africans lived  widely in the UK during the Roman invasion and occupation. BBC wartime dramas focus on homosexual relationships in the trenches during WW1 and gays and lesbians winning WW2 by outfighting and outwitting the heterosexual Nazis.

In addition to these TV dramas showing people of colour everywhere in all aspects and in all classes of British life from ancient times to the Regency period, modern day events are being shaped by the woke agenda. Crime dramas portray young white kids as being the majority of drug dealers and street gang members. Good guy black detectives chase down and arrest evil whites. There is never a mention of black drug dealers, gunmen, rapists. All the terrorists in BBC dramas are neo-Nazis, with Jihadists erased from the narrative.

The 'message' is clear, everyone who made a progressive  impact on the past and the present was either black or gay.

The truth will never stop being the truth even though it's unfashionable and illegal. Fortunately, these woke movies and TV are fiscal flops. Movies with female super heroes barely break even, politically correct TV shows get cancelled after one season as viewers switch off. Lost millions at the box office are turning into lost billions . If you go woke - you go broke. There is a cultural sea change coming. Trump is cutting off all state funding and support to the LGBT+ and woke projects in the US. The tide is turning. Reform UK has taken the lead in the polls and they are winning in council elections and by elections. To counter this the State is making voting inaccessible. This is a war of cultural survival.


Predicting the Future



Nicklaus Otto the inventor of the internal combustion engine.

When I was a lad just after WW2 our schoolteacher told us what lucky children we were. We would never have to join the army because we had won the war and the United Nations Organisation would settle disputes between nations. We had harnessed the power of the atom and electricity would be free. The Welfare Stated would look after us from the cradle to the grave, and the government would nationalise industry to make everything cheaper and abolish unemployment. He said nothing about being swamped by immigration and becoming an economic and military dependency of the USA.

Modern predictors of the future are just as optimistic .The experts are telling us that Artificial Intelligence will do most of the work and we will all live to be a hundred. Smart toilets will monitor our health by examining our bodily products and automatically adding medicines to our drinking water. There will be no food shortages because we will be eating ecologically-grown vegetables, and we will be able to fly to Australia in a few hours..

Call me a cynic if you like but I doubt that the future will be so rosy. Predictions are based on available data but they take no account of the unexpected. In 1894 'The Times' predicted that in 50 years time London would be buried under 3 metres of manure because of ever increasing horse traffic. But a brilliant German engineer called Nicklaus Otto invented the internal combustion engine and all their calculations came to nothing

It's mankind's destiny to work by hand or brain. Our ancestors were hunter gatherers, and then farmers and craftsmen. Technology has changed almost everything but the human element is still vital. My guess is that in 50 year time we will still be going to work, the army will still rely on infantry, and, if we don't get our act together, parasitical politicians will still rule over us. 

At a recent meeting of nationalists held in a West London pub the future of the UK was discussed. We had a professor of mathematics, a lawyer, a retired metals broker, a retired civil servant, and a former leader of the National Front. These people are not Daily Mail readers, or hooligans, they are educated men who know their history. Their conclusion was that we face a grim future unless we stop mass migration and start a serious program of remigration. This may seem impossible at the moment but if President Trump succeeds we can follow his example.


White Hair and Walking Sticks

I belong to two informal nationalist groups comprised of former members of Union Movement and the National Front. Both movements opposed vulture capitalism and mass immigration but they were divided over Europe. UM supporters saw the European Union as a step toward Mosley's vision of "Europe a Nation," but the National Front supporters  still dreamed of reviving the British Empire.

Fifty year later thigs are infinitely worse. Our economy is tottering on the brink of bankruptcy as we plunge deeper and deeper into debt. Our population has been inflated by ten million immigrants. Our police have more or less given up fighting crime, they now concentrate on so-called 'hate crimes' that they make up as they go along. And the four parties competing for office are all committed to Zionism.

But little groups of old men, and women, still meet to despair at the state of our country, and to discuss our latest medical conditions. As one would expect, people in their seventies and eighties are prone to age-related ailments, including memory loss and mobility problems. We are still divided over Europe but we are united by white hair and walking sticks.

The far-right is today represented by Nigel Farage's Reform UK. This is a bogus nationalist party led by a bogus nationalist who worships President Donald Trump.

Many failing old hearts have been boosted by the accession of Donald Trump who, despite his mad ambitions to annex Canada and Greenland, is preferable to the Democrats.s But those of us who have lived through the rise and fall of nationalist parties and nationalist governments are not so excited. When the USA treats Israel as just another country we might get excited, but until such time we will reserve our judgement.


Some Memories of the League of Empire Loyalists

This article was originally published in the March/April issue of Candour the nationalist magazine founded by AK Chesterton.


1965. Top left Bill Baillie, Top right Roy Robinson, Bottom left Fred Weldon, Bottom right Paul Barnes.

I know of only four surviving members of the League of Empire Loyalists, Martin Webster, Denis Whiting, an old friend in the USA  who wants to remain anonymous, and my self.  There may be a few more out there but I only know these three. 

AK Chesterton founded the League as a pressure group directed at the Tory Party. Its older members were certainly traditional Tories  but the younger recruits were a mixture o ex-Mosleyites, like John Bean and Peter Greenslade, and followers of Arnold Leese, like Colin Jordan and John Tyndall. Unintentionally the League became a training school for leaders of the far right.

The League's main objective was to foster unity between Britain and the White Dominions, which in those days included Rhodesia and South Africa. It was also fiercely anti-communist and opposed to coloured immigration - as we used to call it before the English language was highjacked by the Liberal Consensus.

AKC was opposed to global capitalism, with a particular dislike of Bernard Baruch, the George Soros of the time. And he was bitterly opposed to the Common Market which eventually morphed into the European Union. He wanted a political and economic union with the White Dominions, which might have been possible in those days before they embraced multiracialism and became American dependencies.

I joined the League at the age of 16 fight against coloured immigration. I never really believed that we could revive the British Empire, and my round the world working holiday from 1985 to 1970 confirmed this view. I got on alright with the Afrikaners in South Africa but some of them were still fighting the Boer War in their hearts. Amd I was surprised at the influx of Italians and Greeks in Australia, and Dutch, Creations and Pacific Islanders in New Zealand. These counties started out as British colonies but they have developed their own identities and no longer think of themselves as British.

By the time I dame home to the UK the League had merged with John Bean's British National Party to pported the  the National Front. I supported the NF's stand against Third World immigration, but I disagreed with their petty nationalism. It seemed to me that our future was in Europe. I therefore joined Oswald Mosley's Union Movement, just before it became Action Society to concentrate on publishing.

My memories of the League are entirely positive. Our activists were brave men and women with unconquerable spirits and unquenchable thirsts. When we were not heckling other people's meetings or fighting the Reds we were to be found in the Red Lion, Whitehall, downing pints and discussing world affairs.

I salute them all.


Was it Deliberate?




While discussing the sad state of our nation with an old friend, it emerged that the only difference between us was that he thought that the destruction of our manufacturing industry, and mass immigration, was part of a deliberate plan by International Finance. I respect his opinion, but I believe that our misfortune has been driven by short term greed.

At a Friends of Mosley social gathering about twenty years ago, a pre-war Blackshirt, Bob Wilkinson, gave an impressive speech in which he said that if the capitalists can't export the jobs they will import the labour. Either way the British worker suffers.

It may be that a secret group of financiers, usually identified as Jews, is behind it all, but that doesn't explain why China is the world's second biggest economy. There are very few Jews in China, but the Chinese invest massively throughout the world.

The Jewish tradition of money lending dates back to the days when Christianity and Islam ruled the world. Both religions banned interest payments on loans, so the Jews acted as bankers.

Today all nations live on credit. The United States is the world's biggest economy yet they owe $36 trillion. President Trump intends to pay off this debt, but it will take some doing.

The global debt spiral evolved out of the chaos of wars and economic recessions. Nobody planned it, it just happened. Nations, like individuals, go bankrupt when they run out of money or credit.

As for the importation of black and brown workers, it was simply a matter of supply and demand.  The collective West has a declining birth rate but the Third World is booming. This may suit George Soros  (pictured) who advocates race mixing. but it doesn't suit the thousands of Israelis who demonstrate against African migration into Israel.

All of this was predictable and avoidable, but greedy capitalists and short sighted politicians allowed it to happen.
