John Tyndall Memorial Meeting

Leeds Saturday September 10^th 2005

The memorial meeting for John Tyndall was very well attended and was well worth all the effort put in to ensure its success.

   The meeting was chaired by Nationalist Alliance National Organiser, John Wood. He opened the meeting by saying that all the speakers had known John for many years; some from the 1950s and others a little later.

   There were four speakers sitting at the front table but there were five chairs in view.

One chair remained empty throughout the meeting and had been covered with a black cloth. This chair was for John!  He was there with us throughout the meeting in spirit!

Steve Smith opened the speaking by pointing out those who were the race-traitors of the day. He said that all those who supported the multicultural society should be hanged. A topic that found great favour with the audience.

   Tess Culnane paid a very moving tribute to John Tyndall and urged that his dream of nationalist unity should continue. She said that it would be a fitting reminder to him if it were possible.

   Richard Edmonds, a lifelong friend of JT spoke of his triumph of leading the National Front in the early days and of his later success when he formed the British National Party.  He said that John dedicated his life to the nationalist movement and he will be sorely missed.

   John Wood also spoke of his friendship with John that covered forty years. He said that his death had left a huge gap in the nationalist ranks and it was our job to fill that gap.

   He remarked that John’s last public appearance had been on a platform with the Nationalist Alliance a couple of weeks before his death.  He said that he was proud to have been there with him. He recalled many previous meetings where he and John had spoken together.

   Again, John Wood called upon all nationalists to unite and make John’s dream into reality.  This, he said, would only be possible if everyone was prepared to work together for the common good of nationalism.

   Every speaker received an enthusiastic ovation from the audience and after the meeting, there was an opportunity for old comrades to meet.

   Special thanks must go to the security team headed by John Pilkuski who ensured that the meeting would run smoothly.

Kevin Watmough, who organised the event, did a stirling job in decorating the room and arranging transport from the re-direction point to the venue.

Ricky Hobbs organized a goodly selection of refreshments, which were enjoyed immensely.  In all, a great effort and a fitting tribute to a great man!
