Incoming long review tonight

Great chapter on Tyndall, really appreciate how he formed the BNP and gave it a fighting force Outlook, a shame how he was just forced out and how his legacy is basically forgotten....
The rise of Griffin will be interesting as the BNP sort of represented contemporary "far right" populism accepting ethnic replacement

Unto John Tyndal and his curious mix of Nazism and British nationalism

Just finished Chapter 3. A.K Chesterton

This whole chapter really goes to the extent which in a way proves how contemporary British nationalism is more of a direct heir of Chesterton rather than Mosley or Leese. Even to this day his writings are remembered, I do not think there has been such a workaholic in the British nationalism movement since. My regards to Chesterton

Chesterton next, know Very little about him to be fair. Only that he ran the League of Empire Loyalists

Chapter 2: Oswald Mosley
Just finished part 2 of the book and then again I am very much impressed by Mosley's figure. The "lost prime minister" we could have had and even the man of "a new Europe" had his Kensington strategy worked. His last years in the 60-70 show a sorry state figure, desperate for a rehabilitation but at least true to his ideas. A man to be studied and remembered. Mosley ⚡ will live on.

Up to Mosley's prewar carrier and more than anything it is disappointing how Mosley just dilly dallied from fascism to NS just for some money. Hitler didn't seem to have much time for Such a Figure. Still very useful info when I write my pamphlet on William Joyce.

I just finished Arnold Leesee's part and I have to say I'm actually pretty impressed. It is a staunch reminder of the importance of reading past fascist and native figures. Really good so far and doesn't criticise Leese
