I Vow to Thee, My Country
Those who know me will be aware that I am not a Christian in terms of my religious beliefs, although I would claim to be culturally Christian in that I was raised within a nominally Christian family at a time when that religion had a much more prominent a solid position within our society. The England of my youth was a country steeped in Christian tradition, and in which almost everyone was at least nominally…
The Leaked Panama Papers
As we all know, a huge leak of more than eleven-million confidential documents from a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonseca has revealed how the rich and powerful use tax havens to hide their wealth. The documents allegedly show how Mossack Fonseca has helped clients launder money, dodge economic sanctions and avoid paying tax on their wealth. Mossack Fonseca is the fourth largest offshore law firm in the world. The firm is Panamanian but runs a…
Peter Rushton – 2016 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize Nominee
I am pleased to announce the very popular Peter Rushton, the Assistant Editor of Heritage & Destiny magazine, as the sixth nominee this year for the Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize.

Cultural Appropriation is a Double-Edged Sword!
‘Cultural appropriation’ is a term which is currently doing the rounds among ethnic minority advocates and liberal-Marxists, and which is being used to abuse White people who have adopted some method of doing something, or some artifact or style that has in recent times become associated with non-White, predominantly sub-Saharan African or African-American culture. As an article on The Root website states, the term “cultural appropriation” is normally thought of as “white people taking an…

The fourth and arguably the most successful Legion MAC Camp event, in association with Western Spring, took place last weekend, starting on the evening of Friday18th March and running through to the afternoon of Sunday 20th. The 2-3 day residential camp took place at a surprisingly sunny Midlands location, and almost forty young and not-so-young physically active nationalists took part in a variety of activities designed to promote good health, physical fitness and personal advancement,…

James made the following speech at the London Forum in February 2016 and reflects a steady improvement in his speaking style. James’ speaking style is clear, well enunciated , and employs repetition, emphasis, metaphor and simplicity, being both entertaining and the embodiment of the ‘KISS’ principle, keeping it simple, so that his…
You Say You Want a Revolution?
Many of the nationalist groups in Britain, who recognise the futility of electioneering, have instead embarked upon a campaign of street protests in the hope that by this means they will be able to effect political change. These groups hope that by organising demonstrations in which they encourage members of the public to join them in their vocal protests, they will eventually be able to sway government policy or cause our corrupt government to resign…
