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.

Fascism 100 Years On

Benito Mussolini seized power in Italy in 1922 when he led thousands of black shirted ex-servicemen from WW1 in the March on Rome. He was appointed by King Victor Emmanuel 111 who feared a communist revolution.

Mussolini, Il Duce as he was known, was adored by most Italians, even when he ordered the invasion of Ethiopia in 1937, and Albania in 1939, but his close ties to Adolf Hitler cost him his dictatorship. 

Italian Fascism was not racist until Hitler persuaded Mussolini to introduce discriminatory legislation in 1938. This was aimed at the Jews. There were hardly any Blacks in the country but Italian soldiers were forbidden to have sex with local women when they invaded Ethiopia.

The Italian colonisation of Ethiopia seems outrageous today, but at the time Britain, France, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain all had colonial empires in Africa, and Italy already possessed Libya, Eritrea, and Somalia.

Benito Mussolini is remembered for making the trains run on time, but he did so much more; he drained the Pontine Marshes to reclaim the land and wipe out water-born diseases, he started the Autostrada motorway network, he modernised industry and agriculture, and he instilled in the Italian people a sense of pride and unity.

He was murdered by Communist Partisans in 1945 together with his girlfriend Claretta Petacci, but his movement re-emerged after the Second World War and went through various incarnations until his spiritual heiress Georgia Meloni (pictured) came to power as the leader of Fratelli D'Italia in 2022; one hundred years after the birth of Fascism.

The Future of the Internet

Colin Todd, far right (where else?) with fellow nationalists at the Cenotaph.

I asked Colin Todd, the editor of 'Candour' why he persisted with a hard-copy publication when it would be so much easier to go online, like 'The Independent' newspaper.

Patriotic magazines face the double jeopardy of rising postal and print charges, and a total lack of advertising. The existing magazines advertise each other on a reciprocal basis but there is no paid advertising.

His reply surprised me. He said that our increasingly authoritarian government could shut us out of the Internet at any time. They have already started to interfere by making the service providers attach warning notices to our blogs. The next step could be a total ban.

It would be easier for the government to control the Internet than bringing prosecutions against individual publications, none of which actually promotes violence or racial hatred.

In order to educate the masses we must maintain our hard-copy magazines by taking out subscriptions and making donations. We cannot hope to compete with the mass media, but we can influence our readers. 

In the old days we used to sell our papers on street corners. In 1962 I was arrested in Croydon town centre for selling 'Candour' whilst wearing a Union Jack armband. An eager young copper marched me to the police station to be charged, presumably under the Public Order Act, but a wise old station sergeant ordered him to let me go.

In those days 'Candour' was a highly intellectual journal that was difficult to sell without being obstructed by the police. Today's version is easier to read but no less forthright. 

Street vending can be difficult and sometimes dangerous. Political meetings are a much better venue. When the London Forum held meetings there were always stalls selling books and publications.

Alan Whereat

I don't have pictures of Alan Whereat or Keith Goodall but here is a picture of Roy Robinson the deputy leader of the National Union of Fascists.

In a past issue I misnamed Alan Whereat as Denis Whereat, for which I apologise. I am indebted to the Vote UK Forum for the following information.

He was first mentioned in the Portsmouth Evening News in 1939 when he was bound over for twelve months for using obscene language when asked to move on by a policeman. He had been collecting signatures for a petition demanding better old age pensions. He was then 21 years-old.

During the Second World War local elections were suspended and candidates for office were chosen by the existing council. In 1944 he put his name forward for the vacant post of Alderman in Portsmouth but he was an unsuccessful. He was described as an Air Ministry storeman. 

In 1951 he had a letter published in the Bucks Herald claiming that the Labour Party were making false claims about unemployment.

In 1962 he was charged under the Public Order Act with wearing a black shirt, outside Brixton Town Hall. He was distributing election leaflets for Keith Goodall's National Union of Fascists, a short-lived breakaway from Oswald Mosley's Union Movement. He was described as a Lift Operator. When the case was dismissed for lack of evidence he gave a fascist salute to the judge..

In 1978 he stood as an independent candidate in the Lambeth Central by election under the incongruous slogan: "Homes, Employment, Anti-Racial Discrimination." He received 55 votes. He was then 60 years-old.

I remember Alan Whereat from the sixties when he used to parade around Brixton Market in his black shirt to the amusement of the stallholders. But  he was more than a figure of fun, he was a social reformer who wasn't afraid to speak his mind, a brave man of humble means who loved his country. If more of us followed his example we would have a truly representative government instead of the liars and cheats that currently rule over us.

Inflation: The threat to the pound in your pocket

(With inflation above the Bank of England's target this article from my duplicated newsletter 'Nation' # 8, July 1974 deserves a reprint).  

Monetary inflation has been with us for so long that most of us take it for granted. Prices rise and wages increase, which means that prices must go up to meet the higher wage bill, resulting in new wage demands to keep pace with prices, and so on and on.

What, one might ask, is wrong with that? If wages are constantly adjusted to keep abreast of prices stability must be maintained. The fact is that 'stability' is a myth. Inflation is a wildcat, not a controllable creature at all, but a menace that will destroy the economy and sink us into real poverty.

In Italy the fields are full of crops, the vines are heavy with grapes, and their industrial order books are healthy. Italian unit production costs are low and their exports are high. Machine tools, cars, trucks, aircraft, and domestic appliances pour out of Italian factories to feed the markets of the world; but despite all this productivity the Italian people face disaster as their economy begins to implode with hyperinflation.

What is hyperinflation? We quote from an article by Leith McGrindle in the Sunday Telegraph of June 9th 1974.

"There is no clear definition of what a hyperinflation is. There was a time when prices in the West during the 1950s were rising at a steady and not terribly damaging 2% or so a year - when a hyperinflation would have been considered a rising cost of living in excess of 10%. Anything in double figures.

Now that hyperinflation is with us in Britain at over 15% and in double figures in most industrialised and developed countries, we have tended to raise this limit to 20% or over.

In fact, however, a real hyperinflation is when inflation breeds faster and faster on itself. Prices multiply many, many times over a short number of years. The end, when it comes, produces the multi-million note (like the Mark in 1922-23 during the Weimar hyperinflation) and then a complete changing of the currency . The creation of a new Mark etc.

An inflation rate of 15% a year means that prices double in five years and would multiply by nearly 18,000 times over the three score years and ten of a child born today. A house built this year and sold for £15,000 would sell for over £250 million after 70 years.

Property has traditionally been a superb inflation hedge. Because people know this house prices tend to rise more sharply than anything else when an inflation gets going. Witness the last few years.

Moreover, when the hyperinflation finally goes 'pop' the house is still there but notes under the bed or in the wheelbarrow  are worthless.

All this is providing that in the course of ending the hyperinflation our house isn't razed go the ground by insurrectionists or confiscated by a revolutionary government."

This kind of language is something new from a democratic newspaper. We were warned by Douglas, Mosley, and Chesterton years ago that our economy is unscientific and bound to end in slump. Now 'respectable' economists are singing the same song. 

Britain and the rest of Europe urgently needs strong government with the power to act. Our present system of party mismanagement cannot and will not act to stop inflation. As soon as one party gets its programme going it gets thrown out by a discontented electorate, only to be replaced by another party with another theory that's also at the mercy of the mob. 

Sooner or later Britain will be governed by a strong regime. It's the task and responsibility of all of us who know the truth to see to it that the ascendants are patriots and not thinly disguised alien imperialists.

Protectionism

A Mosley's Union Movement flyer from the 1950s protesting against cheap Japanese imports.

When the economy slows down people start calling for protection against foreign imports. The USA is imposing protectionist tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China and threatening the EU and the UK. But those nations effected are bound to retaliate with tariffs of their own.

The USA thrived under a protectionist policy in the 19th and early 20th century, but the pattern of world trade has completely changed since then. The Asian nations have developed beyond expectations and shipping has been revolutionised by the invention of the sea container.

President Donald Trump may find that it's not so easy to disrupt world trade. The immediate effect of his populist nationalist policy will be to increase the cost of living for American consumers. That will not be so popular.

If the USA imposes tariffs on British goods it would damage our our exports of cars and Scotch Whisky. And if we retaliate it will increase the price of Levi jeans, Coca Cola, and Harley Davidson motorcycles. It would be in nobody's interest.

The World Trade Organisation was set up in 1995 to avoid tariff wars. It has 166 member states. The Doha Round of 2001 is currently in force, but President Trump doesn't believe in international treaties and prefers to go it alone. He thinks that foreign countries are taking advantage of the USA. Time will tell if his paranoid policies are successful.

The Western World is going through a phase of nationalism similar to the 1930s. That ended in the Second World War but modern economies are so interwoven that it would be almost impossible to unravel them. The war between Russia and Ukraine is not confined to Eastern Europe, it has repercussions effecting many countries. Egypt used to rely on imported Ukrainian wheat, Germany is crippled by lack of Russian Gas, and India has become a major exporter of gas and oil from Russia.

But nothing lasts forever. Donald Trump is on his second term as President and his successor is unlikely to be so rigidly protectionist. The USA may be the world's major economy but China is catching up fast and the EU is a formidable trading bloc that cannot be bullied. Eventually the WTO will be consulted and we can wear our Levi jeans, drink Coca Cola and ride our Harley Davidson motorcycles, and the Americans can drive Land Rovers and enjoy their Scotch Whisky.
