TFA blurb review
John Tyndall (1934–2005) was a British fascist political activist. A member of various small neo-Nazi groups during the late 1950s and 1960s, he led the National Front from 1972 to 1974 and again from 1975 to 1980, and then headed the British National Party from 1982 to 1999. He unsuccessfully stood for election to the House of Commons and European Parliament several times. Tyndall promoted a racial nationalist belief in a distinct white "British race", arguing that this race was threatened by a Jewish conspiracy to encourage non-white migration into Britain. He called for an authoritarian state which would deport all non-whites from the country, engage in a eugenics project, and re-establish the British Empire through the military conquest of parts of Africa. He never gained mainstream political respectability in the United Kingdom but was popular among sectors of the British far-right. In 2005, Tyndall was charged with incitement to racial hatred but died before trial.
