By Max Musson:
Following a number of messages from our wide readership proposing his nomination, we are pleased to announce that Richard Edmonds has been nominated for the 2014 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize for the speech he made to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the BNP’s first election victory, when Derek Beackon was elected as a local councillor for Millwall Ward, Tower Hamlets in 1993.
Richard, who is now a member of the National Front, is a veteran nationalist with over 40 years of dedicated service to the nationalist cause behind him, and at the age of seventy, he is still one of the most active nationalists and one of the most passionate speakers for our cause.

It is good to see that Richard Edmonds has been nominated for the award. His speaches are powerfull , passionate and often entertaining through the injection of humour.
It would be fitting if the first time this prize was awarded it went to Richard Edmonds.

Edmonds is an excellent speaker, particularly for the hard of hearing as he repeats everything at least twice and sometimes three times.

I believe the repetition may come from teacher training in which teachers were at one time taught to first tell their pupils what they intend to say, then to actually say what they have to say, and finally by way of summary, to tell the pupils again, what it is they have just said. Repetition being the ‘mother’ of all learning.

Edmonds has never been in the Army.

That is why I find RE unlistenable to (is that a word?). No one could doubt his passionate devotion to our country’s cause or the sacrifices which he has made in that cause, and for those he deserves a prize, but oratory? No.

He’s been on the White Network a couple of times recently with Carolyn Yeager. I have to say, and let me say that again, that he is a very good speaker, a very good speaker indeed!
A good speaker indeed ladies and gentlemen! Let there be no doubt. But. … But it needs to be said, and I’ll say it here as many times as it needs to be said. BUT, he overdoes, overdoes the repetition, the repetition I say. He repeats himself repeatedly!
Now I opened this comment by stating, stating mind you, that Richard is a very good speaker. Yet, a good speaker, yet one that takes this teaching technique to the extreme, the very edge, of some, and only some listeners, … the very edge, the VERY edge of human endurance! The very edge of human endurance! Have I made myself clear? A very good speaker … A speaker that is very …

[PS: Richard, if you are reading this, I love what you have to say, and look forward to listening to your future talks with Carolyn. The above stuff was a tongue in cheek parody well intended.]
