Reverend James Costello – 2018 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize Nominee
The fourth nominee for the 2018 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize is one of the leading members of the Creativity Movement in the UK, the Reverend James Costello, who is nominated for a speech he made, incorporating a dramatic performance from Shakespeare’s Henry 5th. James was speaking at a meeting organised by Boadicea Events at Blackpool 21st October 2017. We believe James has an amateur dramatic background and because of this has memorised the speech from Henry 5th as a…

Richard Edmonds – 2017 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize Nominee
Nominated for a third time for the Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize is the 2015 winner and veteran nationalist campaigner Richard Edmonds. At the ripe old age of seventy-four, Richard still exhibits great passion and energy.

Richard also uses repetition in order to emphasise key points and in order to slow the pace of his delivery and…

Last year’s winner of the Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize has been nominated once again for a very passionate speech delivered at the South West Forum. Last year Alex was unique amongst current nationalist speakers in that he has the ability to deliver long coherent speeches with little or no reference to notes, and while other young speakers have caught up with him in this respect, he remains the man to beat, combining fluent delivery, with dramatic…
Adam T. C. Wallace – 2017 Jonathan Bowden Oratory Prize Nominee
Adam Wallace is a young man who appeared on the nationalist scene this year having risen to prominence in a less orthodox manner than most, having made a name for himself as an author on the West Coast Reactionaries webzine and as a vlogger, with his own YouTube channel, The Plebeion Podcast. This is only Adams second speech in front of a live audience, but the experience he has gained producing his podcasts is readily apparent, in that he is confident…

His present level of public speaking ability is the product of the great amount of regular practice gained…
