One of Joh
n Tyndall’s most important speeches on the myth of the global economy and British nationalism has now been made available as an audio file .
In the recording, Mr Tyndall, the founder of the British National Party, completely demolishes the globalist economic theory and points the way to Britain’s economic recovery by the adoption of a policy of Economic Nationalism.
The recording was originally made in the late 1980s. However the solutions outlined in this speech are even more relevant today.

Excellent!
I am still somewhat dumbfounded as to how Griffin managed wrestled control of the hearts and minds of Nationalists and, to be completely frank, I still mistrust – possibly irrationally – many who have been associated within him since, especially those who were not “purged” and in particular the arrogant men who were made relatively wealthy on the backs of ‘cheque in the post’ donation-nationalists – these men now expect us to fall for the same tired routine a second time around! Tyndall was maybe not as popular with the voting herd because he would not dilute his message. Griffin had no issue with that and the moderate, UKIP-type vote subsequently increased under his premiership. Let us face the truth: when Tyndall moved out and Griffin moved in, the rats moved in also. And I am not referring to every new member of the party, I am not that naive or deluded, but I think we all have a few names that spring to mind without consulting the memory banks too comprehensively.
I understood as well as any, including the great man himself, that Tyndall’s days as leader were numbered but we must avoid such poor errors of judgement in future if we are to build any kind of stable organisation. We need leaders, not clever men in suits with clever ideas on how to water-down our message to the point where it becomes lucrative and acceptable to the likes of Jonathan Dimbleby. We need to educate our people, not just use them as a means to an end; whether that end be political power (not that our masters will allow that) or the accrual of fiat paper money.
John Walker does an excellent job with Radio RW&B.
Tyndall (before my time) produced some excellent political ideas and had respect from all. Reading some old copies of spearhead shows that Tyndall was way before his time and a political genius.
Thanks for this article and sound file.
I worked closely with John Tyndall throughout most of the 1990s.
John had many good qualities sadly lacking in so many others – vitally he would not sell out – but his approach to politics was essentially that nothing could be done except prepare for a social and economic collapse.
The trouble with that analysis is that the collapse may never arrive. Instead, we may suffer a continual slow decline without the opportunity crisis often brings. Frankly, John did not see a lot of point in participating in what passes for current democratic politics.
The view many of us took was that things were bad enough for inroads to be made into current democratic politics if we focused ourselves in that way. But we needed a new leader committed to that approach.
Of course, Nick Griffin has turned out to be a disaster. But he seemed the best available in the late 1990s. Few would put their heads over the parapet to even join a party like the BNP. We were not exactly flush with willing and plausible leaders! There were plenty of capable people but few even wanted their identities to be known.
Whatever Griffin did do when he first became leader, one thing he did not do was stand in the way of participating in current mainstream politics. The BNP – helped by hardly unexpected changing conditions in the country like rioting – began to make inroads. This is undeniable.
Unfortunately, from the outset it was clear that Griffin did not regard the BNP as a party but as his property. Despite warning after warning party members did nothing to resist. Participation in the BNP would only enable Griffin to carry on the same way not stop him. Being purged did at least avoid the temptation of vainly imagining things might get better if we carried on in the BNP.
A mistake was made by me and many others in supporting Griffin for the leadership. A mistake was then made by many others supporting him for a decade when it was clear what he was doing.
The task now is to regain the idealism and unbending commitment John brought and team it with an approach to politics in tune with the times. Nationalists can get big votes and become influential. The BNP has proved it. Nationalist ideas which were anathema in the 1990s are becoming household products. The web has changed the world. Short of closing it down, we can now communicate almost cost-free with millions.
Our theme is no longer toxic even if some of the people on our side of the fence are.
Mike, this is most illuminating. John Tyndall was even more enlightened than I had estimated. It saddens me that Griffin’s democratic dogma and retrograde rhetoric attracted while genuine incite, based on decades of experience, repelled.
I feel (fear even) that we will lose the next ten years to soul searching, posturing and ill-fated attempts to dish up ‘more of the same’ to voters whose immediate consideration is personal comfort, a thing that we cannot provide for them at this stage in their evolution.
I wrote a rather fatalistic poem years ago.
From the Tree of Life was picked
A rare fruit of unblemished hue
Brought to wanton mouths and licked
The sweetest taste, the foulest lips
The kernel and flesh consumed
In that abyss where shines no light
Decay and pestilence grew
There the mortar of muddied white
Ground the seed beyond the sight
Of our sacred arbour renewed
Lost to Him the fruits of youth
His pallid leaves like fronds are strewn
To the earth now baked and loose
The dust engulfs the only proof
Of what we had sown in June
Upon the Tree of Life are hung
Those pale angels; how few
Their corpses straight beneath the sun
Ghastly forms of men undone
Await the weeping of the moon
What a tragedy that Nick Griffin undermined and then expelled this political genius from the leadership and then membership of our party. John Tyndall was a far more intellectual and eloquent politician than Nicholas Griffin will ever be. I was not a member when John Tyndall was even still alive, so I only have the speeches that were recorded and his writings to know him by, but everything that I hear and read shows me that we lost so much by allowing Griffin to lead and gradually to wreck our party. I can only hope that there are others within our ranks who will take a lead from his profound wisdom and ideology and help us all move forward. We do need a leader, whether we realise it or not, who can galvanise and rally our membership. No committee can ever inspire others to work hard for our cause. No committee can give inspirational speeches that inspire others to give everything they can of themselves so that our cause may be progressed. I salute the late and great John Tyndall.
First step.
Follow the military maxim of not reinforcing failure.
The BNP passed the point of no return several years ago. Reform your army and devise a new strategy.
If a new general now took over the BNP, then if he had any sense, he’d do what Sir Charles Monro did at Gallipoli. Withdraw. Britain could not afford sentiment or more lives would be lost for nothing.
Wow! That was a fascinating speech. One which I will need to replay a few times to learn from. John Tyndall was ‘before my time’ and yet what he says in that speech is clearly relevent right now.

I think a good understanding of economics is essential for a good understanding of politics. Without the foundation of an understanding of economics, political and social arguments can easily be undermined. Most of us see the consequences of immigration, crime and social and cultural decline in our daily lives, but an understanding of economics does not come without study.

My Grandparents died in their mid nineties a couple of years ago. My sister and I had to visit their house to take their possesions for ourselves. The place was like a museum, packed with family heirlooms but the most noteable thing was how much in the house was made in England and had it written on the side. The cuttlery all made in Sheffield, old gadgets like compass, clocks and scales, work tools, picture frames and even an old dustpan and brush, made from metal (not plastic) and marked (made in England). These household objects were made in Britain and built to last, not to be thrown away.
The flaw in Manxman’s argument is that so many products are developing so fast that ‘built to last’ is a waste a money.
You want to pay double for a computer which will still be working in 30 years but which is totally useless in terms of speed and capacity? In a world of little change between generations ‘built to last’ makes sense. We just don’t live in that world any more. We are also a lot richer in material terms.
