Nation Revisited # 182 December 2021

Britain Can Make It

Battersea Power Station was the largest brick-built building in the world when it was completed in 1955. It generated electricity from British coal delivered by Thames barges, while the nearby Nine Elms Gasworks turned the same abundant fuel into cooking gas.  Now, some of our electricity comes by cable from France, some of our gas comes from Norway by pipeline, some of it comes from the United States by tanker, and the former industrial site at Battersea is an unaffordable, upmarket apartment complex financed by a Malaysian oil company.

When Britain excelled at industrial production we were blessed with coal, iron and a clever workforce that soon adapted to the latest technology. We built ships and locomotives for export and turned raw materials into finished products. The airplane was invented in the US but we were not far behind and by the end of the First World War we had taken the lead. We invented the tank which revolutionised warfare and when the Second World War came our codebreakers at Bletchley Park built the world's first computer to crack the German Enigma cipher.

As the world economy developed we discovered that we could import certain manufactured goods, and agricultural products, cheaper from abroad. And so started the decline of British industry that eventually resulted in the desperate situation we find ourselves in today. As our great manufacturers declined they were bought up by overseas competitors and the jobs that sustained our population and the profits that enriched our exchequer were exported to countries like the United States and Japan.

We cannot put the clock back. We are, where we are but let it never be said that we can't do anything that we put our minds to. We have got world class universities that are turning out scientists and engineers, and a willing workforce that performs well enough for its foreign masters. All we lack is the self-confidence that once motivated us. 

Those of us who were born in the last days of Empire are proud of our country but the younger generation are less so, having been brainwashed by a twisted educational system. We must put them right without resorting to the petty nationalism of the popular press. We are a great nation but we are also part of the European family. The 'Daily Mail' argument that it's unpatriotic to support European unity doesn't make sense. An Englishman is proud of England even though we are united with Scotland, Wales and Northen Ireland. In the same way we can be proud of Britain as an integral part of Europe.

Liberalism

In the last hundred years capital punishment and corporal punishment have been abolished, prison sentences have been reduced and attitudes to sex & drugs & rock & roll have changed. Many people who are worried about rising crime rates and antisocial behaviour blame Liberalism. Vic Sarson writes:

"The disease of 'Liberalism' took root in the aftermath of WW1. Feminism is one of many 'Liberal' manifestations; all sectional groups unbalance, distort and fragment society robbing it of cohesion and morale without which there can be no 'society'. Liberalism is an active evil rather than an innocent naivety which, combined with doctrinaire socialism has all but destroyed British society. So called democratic politicians pander to all sorts of notions and give credence to social evils such as encouraging junior school children to transgender. It would take an armed rebellion to strip these people out of their entrenched positions but even if the arms were available/obtainable would it be possible to raise and sustain such a force given the people material of today?

I often wonder if we were again in a WW2 situation would we have the manpower to fight it?"

The French Revolution, which laid the social foundations of the modern world, sprung from Liberalism. It was founded on Liberty, Equality and Fraternity but it took a bloodbath to replace the Ancien Regime. Citizen Robespierre's Committee of Public Safety sent thousands of 'enemies of the people' to the guilotine but eventually it claimed him as well. The Sea-Green Incorruptible was not above the Law. 

There is always a danger of going too far. It was wrong to hang a man for stealing a sheep but it's also wrong to let a thief go unpunished. Something must be done to achieve a sense of balance. Successive governments have experimented with 'short sharp shocks' and longer prison sentences but none of them have got it right.

The problem of rising crime is made worst by drug taking. The police have decriminalised cannabis, without consulting parliament, and their efforts to control harder drugs are limited by lack of manpower and resources. Drugs permeate every level of society and our larger than life prime minister, Boris Johnson, displays all the symproms of cocaine addiction. According to Narcanon these include; euphoria, overconfidence, unusual excitement, aggressiveness, paranoia, poor judgement, delusions, and hallucinations. This may explain his attraction to Pepper Pig.

Boris Johnson's tough-talking home secretary Priti Patel is expected to tackle the drug problem, control immigration, reform the criminal justice system, and restore respect for Liberalism.

Keeping The Lights On

The news that the French oil company Total has discovered a major new gasfield in the Shetlands comes as an embarrasment to a government worried about climate change. Gas is less polluting than coal or oil when used to generate electricity, but not as clean as wind power or nuclear.

                  

Nuclear power claims to be the cheapest way to generate electricity but if you consider the cost of decommissioning, and the storage of radioactive waste, it becomes the dearest. And when  you make provision for nuclear accidents such as Chernoble or Fukushima, the cost in lives and treasure becomes unacceptable.

Wind power is clean and efficient but only when the wind is blowing. Britain is usually a windy country but we recently went three months with our turbines at a standstill.

At present the price of gas is high due to increased demand from Asia. Germany is negotiating a long term contract with Russia that guarantees future supplies. Britain could do the same if we were not waging economic war on Russia with sanctions over Russia's annexation of the Crimean penninsular, a Russian speaking province that has been part of Russia, or the Soviet Union, since 1783.

This hostility to Russia is part of Boris Johnson's jingoistic policy that sent our aircraft carrier 'Big Lizzie' to provoke the Chinese in the South China Sea. He is pretending that we are still a world power with a navy that rules the waves; a position we have not enjoyed since we sank the German battleship Bismarck in 1941. He would do better to concentrate on keeping the lights on. 

We are already connected to the European pipeline system and our domestic network serves the whole country, Gas is the only source of reliable and affordable power.

Of course, we are trying to clean up the atmosphere, but we must be realistic. The volcano on the Canary Island of La Palma is currently spewing out massive quantities of pollutants, and other volcanoes around the world, including those under the sea, are adding to the problem. We can't fight nature but by changing to electric cars and taking practical steps towards emission control we are doing our best to protect the environment.

The oceans are another cause for concern. Plastic waste that is almost indestructable is found in every ocean. It poisons fish and other sea creatures and finds its way, via the food chain, into our digestive systems. Steps are being taken to replace plastic packaging with cardboard that will rot away to nothing. Most of the packaging is unnecessary, there is no need for apples to be sold in plastic boxes.

Our planet Earth is a molten ball of lava with a cooling crust orbiting an uncontrolled nuclear reaction called the Sun. This  emits radiation of all types, including deadly X rays and Gamma rays, and it throws out solar flares that interfere with radio communications. We share our Solar System with greater and lesser planets and satellites that exert gravitational forces that lift our oceans up and down and cause earthquakes, We are also surrounded by millions of stars that influence our planetary progress through the Universe. Mankind's industrial activities are no doubt dangerous, and should be controlled, but we are not the masters of our own destiny.

John Bean  7 June 1927 - 9 November 2021

I encountered John Bean in 1959 when cycling through central London with my school friend Paul Barnes. JB was speaking from the plinth of Nelson's Column at a meeting of the National Labour Party. Thus began a friendship that was to last a lifetime. 

He was born in Carshalton, Surrey. He spent his teenage years studying, dodging German bombs, and waiting to be called up. The war ended before he was needed but he did his National Service in the Royal Navy. On leaving the navy he started work as an industrial chemist but later turned his hand to journalism. 

He was recruited to the Lewisham branch of Oswald Mosley’s Union Movement in 1951 by his lifelong friend Carl Harley. He left UM two years later but he took some of their policies with him. He didn’t go so far as “Europe a Nation” but he believed in a Confederation of Nation States. 

He joined the League of Empire Loyalists in 1954. They were a right-wing pressure group that was firmly against Communism and finance capitalism. In 1957 he founded the National Labour Party, which merged with Colin Jordan’s White Defence League in 1960 to become the British National Party. In 1962 Colin Jordan and John Tyndall broke away from the BNP to form the National Socialist Movement. Colin Jordan kept the Princedale Road HQ, and John Bean kept his paper Combat which ran from 1958 to 1968. The leaders of the NSM were locked up for organising a paramilitary formation called Spearhead. The reorganised BNP stood in local and parliamentary elections with John Bean receiving a record breaking 9.3% at Southall in the 1964 general election; a campaign that I am proud to have taken part in. 

In 1967 the League of Empire Loyalists joined with the British National Party and a faction of the Racial Preservation Society to form the National Front. At first John Tyndall was excluded but he was allowed to join a year later. This development together with the rejection of JB’s policies on European Confederation and Workers’ Partnership persuaded him to quit active politics. He did not return until 1999 when John Tyndall was ousted as leader of the contemporary BNP by Nick Griffin. He became editor of the BNP magazine Identity but fell out with Nick Griffin in 2010. He joined the British Democratic Party in 2013 and for many years he wrote a column for the BDP website called Nationalist Notebook. 

He wrote four books; Ten Miles from Anywhere, an account of life in rural Suffolk, Many Shades of Black, his political autobiography, Blood in the Square, a political novel, and The Trail of the Viking Finger, a historical novel. He also appeared on television; Timewatch in April 1995, Windrush in September 1997, and The Lost Race in March 1999. 

He should be remembered for his practical approach to politics which he described as the art of the possible. He rejected the shock tactics of Colin Jordan in favour of conventional campaigning, and he tried to bridge the gap between Oswald Mosley’s vision of “Europe a Nation” and the narrow nationalism of John Tyndall.

He was a likable, sociable and intelligent man with a good sense of humour. His main fault was that he mixed with the wrong people and was reluctant to dump them. He was a genuine patriot with a social conscience. He leaves behind his wife Marion, his son Chris, his daughter Carol and lots of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

We agreed about ninety percent of the time but we argued about the other ten percent for over half a century; first by letter and then by email. I shall miss him dearly.

Nation Revisited # 110, December 2013


It’s all in the Protocols

Some people believe in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. They think that a powerful group of Jews held a meeting over a hundred years ago to take over the world and that everything that has happened since is a result of that meeting. The Protocols appeared in Russia in the 1890s and arrived in the UK in 1903. They have long been exposed as a Tsarist forgery but car maker Henry Ford printed half a million copies because: “they fit in with what is going on”.

Conspiracy theory is like a religion to its followers. It explains everything and it’s an easy alternative to studying history, economics and politics. Instead of troubling your head about the causes of the First World War you simply blame it on the Great Jewish Conspiracy; “they” started it because it was part of “their” world plan.

When challenged over the suffering of the European Jews during the Second World War the conspiracy theorists will tell you that it was all part of the Plot; the Jews conspired with the Nazis to slaughter their own people in order to justify the creation of the state of Israel!

At this point we cross the fine line between credulity and insanity. From here on conspiracy theory knows no bounds. When I told a prominent far rightist that I had received an e-mail alleging that the Fukushima earthquake was caused by the CIA beaming shock waves across the Pacific, he said that I should not reject the theory without checking it out.

I was recently asked if I thought that Mossad, the CIA, MI5 or the French DGSE had bumped off Princess Diana. When I said that she had been killed in a car crash my inquisitor looked at me with pity. According to conspiracy theorists few prominent people die of natural causes and all post mortems and courts of inquiry are rigged.

Robert Maxwell and Bernie Madoff did irreparable harm to their victims but the greatest threat to humanity is Zionism; the preposterous idea that the Jews are God’s chosen people. This racist nonsense is supported by influential Jews around the world but the most vociferous Zionists are the so-called “born-again” Christians. Some Jews, like Gerald Kaufman (pictured), Israel Shamir and Norman Finkelstein, denounce Israeli aggression and support Palestine. But the Zionist lobby in Europe and America is committed to Israel and dismisses any criticism as “anti-Semitism”. Their latest target is former British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw.

Race and Culture

Race and culture are the major divisions of mankind. Chinese writing is instantly recognizable and so are the almond eyes of the Chinese people.

Arabic is spoken from the Atlantic coast of North Africa to the Persian Gulf and beyond; many nations united by a common culture.

The Polynesians are exactly the same people in New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti and Hawaii. This great seafaring race populated the entire Pacific in antiquity The Maoris in New Zealand have adopted a British colonial culture that’s all about drinking beer and playing Rugby. In Tahiti they speak French and spend a lot of time sitting outside pavement cafes smoking Gauloises cigarettes. In Hawaii they are all-American boys eating burgers and drinking Coca Cola, and in Tonga they actually speak their own language and practice their native culture. One people subjected to many influences.

Cultures are produced by races but few races have developed in isolation. Even the Japanese had contact with the Chinese who were in touch with the rest of the world. Gunpowder was discovered in China in the 9th century and brought to Europe by the invading Mongols who won a temporary victory over the Hungarians and the Teutonic Knights at the Battle of Mohi in 1241. Once possessed of gunpowder Europeans embarked on 800 years of mutual destruction that culminated in the NATO attack on Serbia in 1999; not far from Mohi battlefield.

The Vikings are remembered for their ferocity but they were primarily traders who dealt in precious stones from Sri Lanka, Ivory from sub-Saharan Africa and silk from China. They used gold coins from Arabia and Byzantium and were represented at the court of Genghis Khan. The Viking runic script was probably based on the Phoenician alphabet.  Our mental image of Vikings as axe-wielding psychopaths is in need of revision. They did their share of rape and pillage but they were a highly inventive people driven by curiosity and stimulated by every culture that they came in contact with.

European civilization is sprung from related Caucasian tribes influenced by Christianity and driven by technology; a marriage of interdependent genetic and cultural forces. We have always had Jews, Gypsies, Turks, Moors, Lapps and other peripheral minorities but now totally unrelated refugees are pouring into Europe and nobody knows where it will all end.

Race deserves to be taken seriously but some people don’t know when to stop. Instead of defending European civilization they get sidetracked into endless subdivision. While anti-communist volunteers from all over Europe fought on the Russian Front the racial obsessives in the Nazi Party were measuring heads and trying to differentiate between Nordics and East Balts.

The population of the world passed the 7 billion mark in 2012. Our industries are polluting the atmosphere and the oceans, and we are running out of natural resources. The nation state has passed its sell-by date and liberal democracy cannot cope.

Europe has got more than enough outsiders to deal with. It’s time to call a halt to asylum and immigration and we mustn’t be defeated by the magnitude of the problem. We can send rockets into outer space and probe the secrets of the universe. We are conquering disease and transforming agriculture. We have the technology to allocate territory and resources to all the peoples of the world but we will achieve nothing by clinging to outdated theories.

Infiltration

It’s foolish to expect a party with a few hundred members to come to power. Small parties cannot compete with established parties funded by big business. If you want to influence events join one of the established parties. You will not bring down the capitalist system or wipe out two centuries of liberalism but you might help to frame a sensible immigration policy.

The pre-war BUF had 50,000 members, a charismatic leader, and favourable conditions but it was shut down by a wartime government with total disregard for democracy. In the seventies the National Front was able to stand hundreds of candidates and put thousands of marchers on the streets but it was sunk by Margaret Thatcher’s assurance that she understood people’s fears of “being swamped” by immigration. A few years ago the BNP had two euro MPs, a member of the Greater London Authority, over a hundred local councilors and active branches all over the country. Today they are sadly depleted but they are still talking about “when we come to power” and putting up candidates; often against rival nationalist parties. UKIP are the latest populist party to catch on but history suggests that they will go the same way.

The world appears to be moving toward some sort of democracy. The amazing power of the Internet has spawned insurrections throughout the Middle East and the UK parliament has thrown out Dave Cameron’s plan to invade Syria. Instead of politicians pushing their policies they are starting to listen to us. Barack Obama was saved from defeat in Congress by the Russian intervention on Syria. He has reached an accord with the Russians but he is still at war with the Republicans. The world has been saved from another war by the power of public opinion and the politicians’ fear of rejection. This could be the beginning of the end for our tired and corrupt regimes

The old gang parties have abandoned their principles in pursuit of power. The Labour Party was supposed to represent the British working class but they have driven down wages and conditions by flooding the country with unskilled immigrants. Now they are promising immigration controls in response to the rise of Ukip. And the Tories are just as bad; they represent the bosses but they will give concessions to the workers if their survival depends on it. All parties are influenced by their activists and a determined individual can change the direction of a branch, a faction, or even the whole party. The established parties used to believe in an “open door” policy but they are now calling for immigration controls. There has never been a better time for a well placed infiltrator.  

Keeping the Lights on

The rising cost of gas and electricity has prompted Labour Party leader Ed Miliband to promise a price freeze and persuaded Prime Minister Dave Cameron to abandon his green taxes. They seemed a good idea during the boom but we simply can’t afford them.

We cannot control the price of imported gas and oil but we have millions of tonnes of domestic coal. The EU limits coal-fired power generation but clean coal technology is encouraged and new plants are being built throughout Europe equipped with Flue Gas Desulphurization technology. At present the UK generates 33% of power from coal, Germany 42%, Poland 87%, Czech Rep 51%, and Greece 54%.

Margaret Thatcher shut down most of our coal mining industry to break the National Union of Mineworkers under Arthur Scargill. At the time coal was competing with cheap and plentiful gas, but things have changed and coal is now viable again. Nuclear power is far too expensive and nobody knows what to do with the radioactive waste. Wind turbines are unreliable and solar power is impractical. We must use the fossil fuels that we are blessed with.

Coalmining was a dirty and dangerous industry but open cast mining does not require men to risk their lives underground. Making gas and oil from coal was considered to be too expensive but with oil at more than $100 a barrel it is now cost-effective and China, Finland and the US are building coal gasification plants to exploit their ample coal reserves. Hydraulic gas fracking is another technology that is transforming the energy market. Where politicians failed science has come to the rescue. Aneurin Bevan said: “This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time.”

Read your History (Originally published in Comrade November 2012)

British newspapers have reverted to the Nazi practice of dividing Europe into Nordic and Mediterranean states when covering the sovereign debt crisis. According to them the hard working northern states are subsidizing the lazy southern states. This takes no account of the fact that Iceland, Ireland, the UK and the Baltic States have all suffered severe economic problems. We have not had a bailout during the current troubles but we have resorted to quantitative easing – creating money that is not backed by bond sales. We are currently up to £375 billion. If this trick works it will give us a chance to recover but if it doesn’t work it will drive us deeper into debt.

This tribal division of Europe will appeal to believers of the Aryan master race theory. The word “Aryan” is commonly used by them when they really mean Nordic. The American economist William Ripley divided Europeans into subspecies and placed the Nordics at the top of the league table. This was developed by the German scientist Hans Gunther and enshrined into Nazi law by Heinrich Himmler. Jews were categorized as “non-Aryans.” In fact an Aryan is simply someone who speaks an Aryan, or Indo-European language. In Britain and the US it has come to mean Nordic but throughout Europe it means white. Spanish and Portuguese nationalists describe themselves as Aryan; and so do Iranians who come from Iran – the land of the Aryans.

The American anthropologist Carleton Coon revised Ripley’s work and suggested that Nordics are Mediterranean whites who have turned blonde due to evolutionary pressures related to vitamin D. Recent studies of blonde Melanesians in the South Pacific seem to confirm this theory. DNA has completely changed our understanding of ethnology. Stephen Oppenheim has shown that the UK was populated at the end of the Ice Age from the Basque region. This would account for the extensive Mediterranean strain in the British population.

The right-wing parties developed policies to suit the master race theory. They wanted to unite Britain with the white dominions, or form a limited European Confederation. But Oswald Mosley – who was never a right winger – embraced “Europe a Nation”. He recognized that the great artistic, scientific and social advances of Europe are not confined to one part of the continent. He was uncomplimentary about the Russians during the dark days of the Cold War but he never subscribed to the master race theory which he dismissed as “codswallop,”

It was Nazi hubris that led to their defeat in WW2. Heinrich Himmler was amazed when the Red Army defended themselves with brilliantly designed T34 tanks, MiG-3 fighter aircraft and Kalashnikov rifles. They were supposed to be primitive savages, not highly organized fellow Europeans who would launch Sputnik only twelve years after the Battle of Berlin. If the Nazis had read their history they would have known that the Slavs have long defended the West against the marauders from the East. Like all Europeans they are part of the family.

The post-war migration of non-European economic refugees has reinforced our sense of European identity. We can no longer afford the luxury of petty-nationalism. A Russian, a Pole or a Portuguese is not an alien compared to an African or a South Asian tribesman who has never seen a knife and fork. The people of Europe share a history, a culture and ties of blood stretching back to the dawn of time. We will not be divided by pseudo-science and political dogma.

Russian gas and oil together with German industry will form the backbone of the new Europe; an economic and ethnic bloc stretching from Galway to Vladivostok that will overcome all obstacles and herald the renaissance of European man.

Letter from Bill White – former leader of the American NS Workers’ Party

Roanoke City Jail, Roanoke, VA. USA.  August 27 2013

Mr Baillie,

I recently saw your editorial from Comrade republished in the newsletter Heritage and Destiny. While I agree with your general thesis – that white is white – your history is generally wrong across the board.

I don’t know you and I do not follow the idiosyncrasies of British nationalist politics. I do know the white movement often attracts people who say different things because they enjoy being different and, with that, annoying people with strange statements. I also know there are people with honest differences as well. I assume you are among the latter, not the former. So I write.

The tern “Aryan” applies to the upper caste – priests and warriors – in Indo-European societies. Each Indo-European culture, whether Nordo-Germanic, Celtic, Iranian or Indian, preserved the four cast system of priest-warrior-merchant-worker. These upper castes generally were Nordic in origin. Even Sumeria, an offshoot of a proto-Indo-European culture saw those they ruled over as “the dark haired people”. “Aryan”, or “noble people” – German herren volk – is both a caste and race term.

Mediterranean European culture was not Aryan. There are two major Mediterranean cultures in antiquity. One was the megalith builders; the other was the Phoenician-influenced Minoan culture, including Pelasgians and pre-Indo-European, non-Hamitic Anatolians.

The culture-bearing Indo-Europeans originated in Northern Europe and Scandinavia and founded civilization in two waves, both involving migration to and settlement in Central Asia. First were the Kurgan cultures and the Sumerian-Egyptian-Harappan wave of settlement. The second was the “Aryan” invasion of Celts, Myceneans, Hittites, Iranians and Shang Chinese, among others.

While Mediterraneans populated Britain early on, Celts conquered the British Isles circa 500 BC, followed by Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Norse, Vikings and Normans.

It is incorrect to say that Mediterranean whites are incapable of culture-bearing or are not capable of being Aryan – of realizing the spiritual potential of the upper castes. However, European culture did not arise in the Mediterranean people. Further, actual inhabitants of Mediterranean nations in the modern world are often mixed with non-white elements. Spain, Portugal, southern France, southern Italy, Greece and the southern Balkans in particular have been under Turkish or Arab occupation for centuries in the past two millennia, or have housed multi-cultural civilizations, from Rome to Carthage. However, Turks and Arabs are technically from different branches of whites, like Finns and Huns. So to call these people non-white is incorrect. But they are not European whites – more a type of mestizo.

Now, as to Mosley and German-Slavic relations; Mosley was a fascist – I think from the British Union of Fascists – you’ll concede that, and indistinguishable from a National Socialist during the period 1933-1939. Trying to divide Mosley and Hitler is nonsense and you know better.

Also World War 11 – “Nazi hubris” certainly did not lose the war. The difficulties of fighting the entire world at once lost the war. But what was the truth about German anti-Slavism?

During World War 1 the Russians went to war to defend Serbia based on pan-Slavic nationalist principles. Their explicit goal was to exterminate the German people – even though the Romanovs were ethnic Germans and the name “Rus” is that of a Nordic tribe. On this anti-German basis, Russia declared war on Germany.

During the period 1933-1939, the British in particular, inflamed Slavs in Czechoslovakia and Poland against their German populations. This led to the 1938 interventions in the Sudentenland and the 1939 war with Poland.

Now this Slavic-German warfare was wrong and stirred by internationalist forces to divide traditional societies. It was foolish and wrong. But it was stirred against Germany, and German anti-Slavicism was a reaction.

And I doubt anyone was surprised at the Soviet defense – wave after wave of cheaply valued human lives and cheap, mass produced equipment. The Germans drove the Russians back but were overwhelmed when they had to withdraw forces to defend Italy, and later France.

Attacking Germany, Adolf Hitler, and Aryan racial theory is annoying, not insightful. Yes you know about Mosley – and probably about National Bolshevism, Strasserism, and Third positionism too. So do we all! Mosley was good; the rest is junk that people pursue just to show they’ve heard of it. Maybe you’re passing through a phase – may be you’re mired there. I just hope you get out of the swamp soon.

Sincerely, Bill White.

Dear Bill White,

Thanks for the history lesson – both ancient and modern. Your interpretation is different to mine but entirely in keeping with National Socialism. I will publish your letter in my blog Nation Revisited and let my readers decide. http://nationrevisited.blogspot.co.uk    

Just a couple of points if I may:

Europe is currently being invaded and colonized by Third World immigrants, mostly from Africa and South Asia. We have got more to worry about than Germanic or Slavic culture, or where the Minoans came from. We haven’t got time for head measuring.

The last war was a disaster for Europe but it was probably a necessary step in the road to unity. I know you must have read Mein Kampf so I find it hard to accept you argument that Germany was driven to war by British propaganda. Wasn’t it always Hitler’s ambition to march east?

On a personal note, I have followed your political career with interest and been amazed at the level of persecution you have suffered for your beliefs. I hope you will soon be restored to liberty.

And as a matter of clarification I am 68 years old and have been involved in patriotic politics since I was 14. I don’t think that it’s a phase I’m going through. I am not interested in Strasserism, Hitlerism, or any of the creeds of the thirties. I follow the post-war ideas of Oswald Mosley as outlined in his book The Alternative. I am trying to defend European civilization at home and abroad.

Best wishes. Bill Baillie
