By Max Musson: I announce the first nominee for the 2014 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize: Peter Rushton, for the excellent speech he delivered in support of Golden Dawn, under the most difficult of circumstances on the 9th November 2013, outside the Greek Embassy in London.

An announcement by Max Musson: As the second anniversary of Jonathan Bowden’s tragic death approaches, and what would have been his 52nd birthday, Western Spring in co-operation with Mike Woodbridge, the executor of Jonathan’s estate, would like to announce the very first occasion of an award in Jonathan’s memory, of a prize for oratory, in what will become an annual event. Members of the nationalist community are hereby invited to submit to this website, the name of any nationalist speaker…

By Max Musson: It is now five days since Viktor Yanukovych was deposed as president of Ukraine and the parliament called for new elections and there appears to be a distinct lack of activity on the part of Svoboda and Pravy Sektor to cement their once dominant position. The danger is that the longer this period of uncertainty continues the more the chances of a successful nationalist revolution diminish and the more circumstances play into…

By Max Musson: Many people in Britain will have viewed events in Kiev over the last three months with a certain amount of confusion: we are after all a long way from Ukraine; government and politics operate rather differently there; and lines of communication between our two countries are such that most of us must rely on the mass media for news of what is actually taking place. The confusion stems from the fact that…

By Max Musson: Shortly after being sentenced to 18 months imprisonment today, at St. Albans Crown Court, thirty-one year old Stephen Yaxley Lennon, otherwise known as Tommy Robinson, the former leader and co-founder of the English Defence League (EDL) is reported to have Tweeted to his followers, “This is a complete stitch up”. Robinson, who last October shocked EDL supporters by resigning from the organisation amid concerns over the “dangers of far-right extremism”, had appeared…

By Max Musson: I have only limited time this morning and so this will not be a comprehensive article on this matter, although I have already addressed many of the issues in an earlier article. The way that Sergeant Alexander Blackman has been treated is a disgrace. As a serving soldier in a war zone when the incident for which he has been prosecuted took place, Sergeant Blackman and his men had hotfoot, over-run an injured enemy…

By Richard Deacon: Labour Party stalwart and MP for Blackburn, Jack Straw, was recently in the news, seemingly admitting regret for his part in allowing large numbers of East European nationals the right to live and work in the UK in 2004. However, while news headlines have misleadingly, and deliberately so, been couched in terms suggesting that Straw now regrets the New Labour policy of deliberately imposing multiculturalism and multiracialism upon Britain in defiance of…

By Max Musson: A military court martial at Bulford in Wiltshire is currently considering the fate of three Royal Marines accused of executing a Taliban prisoner in September 2011. The alleged execution came to light last year when one of the accused was arrested in connection with crime committed in the UK and his lap-top computer was examined by police. A video of the incident recorded on the soldier’s helmet-camera was found on the lap-top…

By Colin Liddell: How quaint! Today Prince George, the third-in-line to the throne – behind his father William and grandfather Charles – was christened in the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace. Interesting the names involved. Of course, the name George is very much part of the Windsors’ family tradition. But it ultimately derives from St. George, whose cross is the flag of England as well as the symbol of the medieval Christian crusaders. St. James’s Palace…

By Max Musson: My attention was caught recently by an article published on the Jewish Chronicle website entitled, “Police pledge to crack down on antisemitic graffiti“.  The article states, “Police are investigating an increase in antisemitic graffiti in Manchester.  “Since October there have been five incidents in Prestwich and Whitefield, areas in the north of the city that are home to large numbers of Jews.”  I wondered what kind of graffiti had been sprayed or…
