The
Campaign against Third World Immigration
Oswald Mosley stood for Union Movement in North
Kensington in 1959, a year after the Notting Hill race riots. Immigration had
been encouraged by the British Nationality Act of 1948 which gave Commonwealth
citizens the right of entry to the UK, and by the McCarran-Walters Act of 1952
which restricted immigration to the US. West Indians were being recruited by
London Transport and the National Health Service. A policy that was continued
by Enoch Powell when he became Minister of Health in 1960; eight years before
he made his infamous ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech. Mosley proposed a trade deal
with Jamaica that would have allowed her workers to go home to good jobs. But
faced with a hostile press campaign he got 2,821 votes (8%). The influx
continued and nobody knows how many non-whites are in the UK today.
At the same general election John Bean’s National Labour
Party stood in nearby St Pancras North on an anti-immigration platform. Their
candidate Bill Webster got 1,670 votes (5%). The NLP changed its name to the
BNP and achieved the best result for a patriotic party at that time when John
Bean got 3,410 votes (9.2%) at Southall in the 1964 general election. The BNP
was absorbed into the National Front in 1967.
Mosley’s Union Movement faded out in the seventies. It
paid the price of preaching economic reform during the post-war boom. When
the financial crisis finally broke thirty years later few people remembered
Mosley’s warning, but he was right about international finance and he was right
about immigration. They were part of the capitalist racket that exported
British jobs to Asia and imported cheap labour to undercut British wages. Union
Movement stood for a self-sufficient Europe but the electorate were too
interested in their new cars and foreign holidays to worry about the future.
As Union Movement declined the National Front grew. It
was opposed to immigration but rejected Mosley’s call for ‘Europe a Nation’ and
clung to pre-war policies. Under the leadership of
John Tyndall and Martin Webster the NF grew into a movement capable of putting
thousands of marchers on the streets and standing 303 candidates in the general
election of 1979. But Margaret Thatcher gave a perfectly timed speech saying
that she understood people’s fears of being ‘swamped’ by immigration and won a
landslide victory. The NF vote collapsed and the movement was ravaged by a series of defections and expulsions from which it has never recovered.
John Tyndall and Martin Webster
Following the NF’s electoral disaster of 1979 a new
British National Party emerged under John Tyndall. It got its first councillor
elected when Derek Beacon won the Millwall by-election with 1,480 votes (33.9%)
in 1993, but it really took off in 1999 when Nick Griffin took control of the party. It soon had two Euro MPs, a member of the Greater London
Assembly and scores of local councillors. It seemed only a matter of time
before the BNP gained representation in Parliament. But then came Nick
Griffin’s disastrous appearance on Question Time and the party’s humiliation at
the 2010 general election. The BNP survives as a small party with limited
horizons.
In addition to the NF and the BNP there is British
Movement, founded by Colin Jordan way back in 1968, and the British Democratic
Party that was launched as recently as 2013. Some of their supporters are
racists but most of them are ordinary people who object to their towns and
cities being taken over by pimps and drug dealers. The police have abandoned
these areas to the gangsters for fear of upsetting race-relations. Of course, they
deny that there are any ‘no-go areas’ but that is not the general perception.
We need a political party that opposes Third World
immigration without getting sidetracked by head measuring and conspiracy
theory. The old-fashioned nationalist parties are stuck in the past and Ukip
is nothing but a middle class pressure group. It is not opposed to immigration
on economic or racial grounds but simply because immigrants are “foreigners”.
And it hates Europe for the same reason; because it’s full of foreigners. Ukip
is devoid of ideology and hostile to economics but according to the opinion
polls it will do well in the Euro elections. “Good old Nigel” has replaced
“Good old Enoch” in the stout hearts of the simple-minded.
Third World immigration has slowed down due to the
worldwide recession and because high-tech industries need fewer unskilled
workers. The latest immigrants are fellow Europeans who pose no threat to our
identity. But our newspapers have started a hate campaign against them
supported by the shameless opportunists of Ukip. They are gaining votes with
their scaremongering and populist policies but when Ukip inevitably falls apart
the electorate will go back to voting Labour or Tory according to which tribe
they belong to.
Foreign
Policy
Lord Palmerston
In the old days nations used foreign policy to further their political
and commercial interests. Britain’s master of diplomacy was Lord Palmerston who
kept the balance of power in Europe by always opposing the strongest state. He
is remembered for threatening to send gunboats to back up his colonial policy,
and for his analysis of the Schleswig-Holstein problem. He said that only three
people had ever understood it, one was Prince Albert, who was dead, the second
was a German professor, who had gone insane; and the third was himself, who had
forgotten it.
Since the Soviet Union collapsed America has taken charge
of the world. China has bought so many American bonds that she is bound to
support her. India and Brazil support America in exchange for access to her
markets. And Europe blindly follows Washington. Only Russia dares to stand up
to America.
Dave Cameron jets around the world thinking that he is
touring the Empire. And his sidekick William Hague believes that Vladimir Putin
is frightened of him. In fact both Cameron and Hague could be replaced by
trained monkeys who would be happy to perform tricks for Zionist peanuts.
Our last independent action was the Suez fiasco of 1956.
Britain, France and Israel jointly invaded Egypt in defiance of America but
were forced to withdraw by the threat of economic sanctions. Prime Minister
Anthony Eden resigned and was replaced by Harold Macmillan; a pragmatist with no
illusions about Britain’s position in the world.
Margaret Thatcher’s popular war in the South Atlantic was
something of an exception; America was neutral in the conflict and it was clear
that the Argentine adventure would bankrupt General Leopold Galtieri’s military
regime.
Since the Falklands conflict we have behaved ourselves.
Tony Blair supported the destruction of Iraq despite massive demonstrations against
the war. Iraq had no “weapons of mass destruction” but Tony Blair cheered every
missile that hit every home and hospital. As a convert to Catholicism he should
remember that he too will be judged.
We were so eager to invade Afghanistan that we dispatched
troops without adequate helicopters and bomb-proof vehicles. These deficiencies
were overcome but not before we lost hundreds of men to improvised mines.
We were told that our expeditionary force was protecting
us from terrorists. But the criminal lunatics who committed the 7/7 bombings in
London did not operate from Afghanistan; they prepared their explosives in
their mothers’ kitchens.
We do not need two massive aircraft carriers equipped
with American F35 fighters, or four Vanguard class submarines armed with
American Trident nuclear missiles. We would be better off with more British
type 45 destroyers and Astute class submarines, but our government prefers to
support the American defence industry.
The UK belongs to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation
and Development. This was founded in 1948 to administer Marshal Aid to Europe. It
oversees the economic policies of the industrial nations. At this year’s G20
summit in Australia the OECD presented its tax avoidance plan. It’s foolish to dream of independence
when our defence is controlled by NATO, our trade by the World Trade
Organisation, and our economic policy by the OECD.
But nothing lasts forever. As gas fracking makes America
self-sufficient in energy she will disengage from Europe and the Middle East to
focus on the Pacific. NATO will then become redundant and Europe will be forced
to develop a common foreign policy.

Bill Risdon
He was born during the ‘last hurrah’ of the British Empire,
at the tail end of the reign of Queen Victoria, but he lived into the ‘space
age’, so the life of Wilfred Risdon was full of contrasts and conflicts. He was
of his time, but he was no passive passenger: he was a man of principle and an
activist of the best sort – his mission might have changed during his life, but
the constant and consistent theme was to be a force for good.
In succession, but undeniably connected, the phases of
his life focused on Jesus, Maxton, Mosley and Tait. The young zealot turned
coal miner was sucked into the horror of a world war, but he served his fellow
man with medical care rather than doling out death; the idealistic Socialist
lost faith in materialistic internationalism and threw in his lot with the
apolitical maverick Mosley, working expertly in the fields of propaganda,
industrial relations and election practice. Another war saw him locked up, like
many others, without charge or trial, for three months. When released, he was
able to return to his last area of humanitarian care: working to abolish the
obscene practices of permanent research, for medical and scientific purposes,
on living animals.
This is the true story of a man who refused to be bound
by convention, if that meant accepting the status
quo of the lower orders knowing their place, financial slavery, freedom of
speech only for those in ‘authority’, and the unquestioning acceptance of
unspeakable cruelty to animals. He was a valued and trusted lieutenant for
Mosley, and rose to become secretary of the most prestigious animal welfare
organisation in Britain: the National Anti-Vivisection Society.
Yet he is not a household name: this book sets out to
redress that omission. 710 pages – paperback edition £15 plus P&P from; http://www.wilfredbooks.co.uk/index.html
Europe:
Fact and Fiction
Norman Lowell with Jeffrey Hamm in the 1960s
The European Union is a collective of twenty eight
countries with a population of 507,890 and a GDP of $16.2 trillion. In his 2012
State of the Union address Jose Barroso, president of the European Commission,
called for major treaty changes leading to a “federation of nation states”. And
Vivian Reding, vice-president of the European commission, recently told
Cambridge University to prepare for a “United States of Europe”. These
statements accord with the founding philosophy of the EU, which is “ever closer
union.”
Switzerland is a federation of self-governing states
speaking four different languages. But it is held together by a central
government with one flag, one currency, and one army. This model could evolve
into a unified state like Germany, or split into mutually hostile states like
former Yugoslavia. The key factor is the willingness of Europeans to embrace
solidarity.
‘Europe a Nation’ is the post-war aspiration of Oswald
Mosley and Jean Thiriart, currently promoted by Robert Edwards and his team in
the pages of European Socialist Action.
It is what the European Union could become if its member states abandoned
insular nationalism and started to think like Europeans.
‘Imperium Europa’ is the dream of a European Empire stretching
beyond the mother continent. This is described by Norman Lowell in his book ‘Credo’,
and supported by several writers including Constantin von Hoffmeister and Guilluame Faye. Such ideas are visionary but for the present we must deal with Europe
divided between the Russian Federation and the European Union, with the
dividing line running through Ukraine.
Mind
Britain’s Business
The Russian annexation of the Crimean peninsular has divided opinions. One old campaigner told me that he felt sorry for the Crimean Tatars because it was originally their country. But I suspect it was really because they sided with the Nazis in WW2. Australian historian Mark Richardson writes that when the Tatars ruled the Crimean Khanate in the sixteenth century they captured an estimated three million Poles, Ukrainians and Russians for the Ottoman slave trade. This barbaric practice was known as the "Harvest of the Steppe" and was stopped by the conquests of Catherine the Great.
Lee Barnes
Lee Barnes was legal adviser to the BNP until he quit in 2010. He is noted for his controversial opinions which include his support for the Right Sector movement that helped to depose the corrupt regime of Viktor Yanukovich in Ukraine.

We need to update our thinking as the world changes
around us. Vladimir Putin has responded to the will of the Russian majority in Crimea. The Ukrainian people suffered terribly under Joseph Stalin but their torment did not end when the Nazis invaded. They confined the nationalist leader Stepan Bandera to a concentration camp and
killed hundreds of his supporters. Far from helping them to break away from
the Soviet Union the Nazis were determined to wipe out Ukraine and Poland as
nation states in order to colonise the region with German settlers. Our main interest
in the Ukraine should be staying out of it. Never has the old British Union slogan “Mind
Britain’s Business” been more appropriate.
Nationalism is not a universal philosophy like
socialism, conservatism or liberalism. A British liberal will get on well
enough with a German or French liberal but a National Front member will not sit
down with a Sinn Fein supporter, or a Catalan separatist with a Spanish
nationalist. Nationalisms are mutually hostile and cooperation between
different nationalist movements usually ends in failure.
The Italian Fascists
showed no solidarity with the authoritarian regime of General Ionnis
Metaxas when they invaded Greece. Nor did the Nazis when they murdered Engelbert Dolfuss, the
leader of the Austrian Fatherland Front. Nationalism is
belligerent by its very nature unless moderated by the civilizing influence of
European solidarity.

Comment: Alexander Morana
(My article 'Better off Together' in European Outlook #2 described the evolution of the European nations)
Italy and Germany came into being from a collection of small city states, duchies and principalities; they became what are now the Federal republic of Germany and the Republic of Italy due to narrow nationalist forces and dogma of the nation state of the 19th century which Europe had been violently subjected to since Bonaparte. The same goes for Poland too. England, Wales and Scotland had a different, albeit, harmonious and successful union.
Having said that, I would say that the three European continental poor sisters wrote their different fates for history in almost the same chapter; the Germans sadder and more violent. Since unification (Risorgimento) Italy produced nothing but a fossilized conservative monarchy, lead by an army of impotent and incompetent governments. Mass unemploymenmt emptied the South, whilst the smaller city states and duchies of Parma, Milan and Florence flourished and gave us the great artists, bankers, thinkers and builders of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. Cavour, Garibaldi, Mazzini, Vitorio Emmanule were but copy cats of Napoleon. Not least, the Republic of Venice became a sea power. The same for the German states; Wagner, Goethe, Cant, Karl Marx, Friedrich von Schiller - the German genius of beauty and freedom - and the list goes on. These were individuals and they saw themselves as such. No nation modeled them into what they had become, but the other way around.
Unfortunately, raw and puritanical nationalism lead to two World Wars, a flirting with National Socialism and Fascism bled the continent of its flower of youth and its soul. Are perhaps those lone forces again pulling in a different direction from where the continent has been taken in the past sixty odd years? Time will tell - or will the people suffer shock and awe again?
My Reply
The great writers and thinkers were certainly as important as the historical and geographical factors that I mentioned. We can only hope that such minds are available to us and that the future is not as violent and destructive as the past.
Right of Reply: Robert Edwards, Editor, European Socialist Action
Good analysis of the parties vying for votes in
forthcoming elections. I wholeheartedly agree with your call for a boycott of
the elections, not because I am undemocratic, I am not, but for the lack of
fundamental difference between all these parties, including UKIP. UKIP
campaigns against immigration but discriminates against Eastern Europeans
alone.
A few words on your reply to my thoughts published
in the last online issue of European Outlook #2. That John Bean
was closely associated with Colin Jordan from 1960 to 1962 suggests a serious
lack of good judgement. Mr Bean was then to operate out of Arnold Leese House
named after a man who placed a swastika at the centre of the Union flag and
called Oswald Mosley a kosher fascist. Andrew Brons blames his membership of
Colin Jordan's National Socialist Movement on his youth, being 16 at the time.
Martin Webster attempted a similar excuse when he later described his
involvement in the same movement as "an immature desire to shock" at
the age of 19 ... a desire that appears not to have been abandoned since. I
joined Mosley's Union Movement at the age of 17 in 1965 but I have never blamed
that decision on my youth. In fact, I have never regretted an act that was to
change my life and open my eyes to fundamental political and economic truths.
Mosley's economic ideas remain the main focus of our paper, European
Socialist Action. Our belief in an integrated Europe with one
government is pure Oswald Mosley. I am not interested in fascism, as such.
A few comments on the Combat editorial of 1966,
clearly an attempt at moving away from John Bean's Combat at the
time of his involvement with Colin Jordan and John Tyndall. As I explained, Mr
Bean advocated a confederation of Northern European peoples. They held camps
with guests from northern European countries and displayed the northern
European sunwheel. We call this Nordicism.
If we analyse the Combat editorial
of 1966 (the following year the BNP threw in its lot to form the National Front
in 1967) we should question why the editor, John Bean, suddenly felt the need
to refer to "blue-eyed, fair-haired, long-headed examples of Nordic
womanhood", at all. Why the need to refer to two defenders of
"inherent differences between Europeans and Negroes" as Spanish and
an Australian of Italian or Greek origin ... judged by their "complexion
and colouring"? I can only conclude from this that Mr Bean wanted to prove
something by way of dissociating himself from his previous activities in the
National Labour Party and later his collaboration with Colin Jordan and John
Tyndall. Mr Bean asks what his editorial proves. To me, it proves that Mr Bean
was doing an about-turn and disingenuously claiming not to draw distinctions
between northern Europeans and southern Europeans. At that point, he was on the
verge of leaving politics altogether only to emerge much later in Nick
Griffin's very anti-Europe BNP.
Mr Bean said in his editorial of 1966, "...
the futility of the line of thought held by many good racial nationalists ...
that we can afford to differentiate between Europeans of the North and
Europeans of the South". The phrases "futility" and "can
afford" directly imply expediency and not conviction. "Let's try this
for a change". I am not convinced. I am further unconvinced on the single,
defining point that John Bean openly advocated a confederation of Northern
Europeans exclusively, previously being a member of Mosley's Union Movement for
a short time, a movement that advocated Europe a Nation. He had dropped
advocacy of complete European union for a "confederacy" of only
northern Europeans. What does that tell you? Well, I will tell you. "Confederacy"
is not unification at all but a loose arrangement and John Bean remains a
narrow nationalist.
I have remained consistent throughout my life
since the age of 17. I am now 66. I have always believed in Europe a Nation and
the ideas of Oswald Mosley. I judge no man on his physical appearance but
rather on his achievements. I regard all Europeans as my brothers and never as
"foreigners". This is something the nationalist is incapable of
expressing.
