9th Annual John Tyndall Memorial Meeting
By Max Musson: For more that three decades during the close of the 20th Century, the name of one man, John Tyndall, was virtually synonymous with the cause of British nationalism and it is only fitting therefore that for the ninth successive year since his untimely death in 2005, John Tyndall’s memory is honoured at a memorial meeting of British nationalists here in Britain.
