Fighter for English-Only Richard Barrett It is with great sadness that the death of Lady Jane Birdwood is marked. As Chris Jackson of the British National Party put it, "She put to shame some of our youngest members." Lady Jane, as she was affectionately known, succumbed to cancer in July, 2000 at 87. Her funeral service was held at the church in Chiswick, London. "Her passing is deeply felt," said Jackson, who hailed Lady Jane as a heroine, who had fought off -- singlehandedly -- no less than three attempts by Negroes to mug her on the streets of London. I visited her at her humble London apartment and, as an American, was prepared to find a member of the "aristocracy" residing in posh surroundings. But, not at all. There were no guards, security force or, even, butlers. Plain, austere, but with a certain sedateness, her room showed a touch of "class" and fastidiousness, but without pretension. She was not a woman of means, but her ardor was her singular treasure trove. Lady Jane received me as though I were some visiting royalty. She was gracious and eloquent, explaining the thesis of her publication, Choice, which was no small undertaking for an octogenarian -- by herself -- to grind out, never skipping an issue. Choice meant that the English People do have an alternative to the inundation of their country by foreigners and "asylum-seekers." Her choice, obviously, was for the blood, heritage and soul of the British People, which once ruled the civilized world, to prevail. Lady Jane endeavored to rekindle the spirit and carry on the lineage which had served her land so well and which, as she noted, had bestowed such promise and opportunity upon America. It so happened that 500 years earlier, the King had issued a decree expelling the Jews from England. Lady Jane had adroitly discovered that the edict had never been repealed, so, she embarked upon a one-woman campaign to enforce the law. She picketed, inveighed, button-holed, shouted and petitioned. She made herself a "royal pain" to the communists and multi-culturalists who, in vain, tried to ignore her and then to scotch her. I was amazed at the faculties of her mind, the lightning flashes of wisdom she could hurl, at will, in defense of her cause. And, as even her detractors had to admit, her arguments were unassailable. She embarrassed the Prime Minister, energized Nationalists and stirred up patriots of every age and stripe. Papers presented She presented me with some of her papers, as a gift, which encouraged me to build tighter bonds of blood and friendship across the Atlantic. To her memory, it is a worthy goal to make Anglo-American unity and victory truly a reality. She was a petite woman, but with a strength which was apparent, far beyond her limbs. After returning to America, I smiled approvingly reading in news accounts of how she had stood up at a public meeting, interrupted the ceremonies, shouted down those she branded as "corrupt" government officials and demanded that the English-Only Policy be enforced. She was carried, struggling, out of the meeting, by police, but was cheered by the English commoners. How could they keep this marvelous and loquacious woman in jail? They could not. Fine her? Oh, no, because when she could not pay they would have to keep this pop-star-of-the-right in jail and that would only focus more attention upon her and her stand. So, they turned her loose, time and time again, on "probation," which she adeptly scorned, showing up, once again, and again, for her next poignant protest. What drove this miraculous woman? Certainly not a lust for comfort, title or riches, as Princess Di. Not a quest for power, position or nobility, as Margaret Thatcher. Lady Jane simply had a vision of an all-English England. Just as I have caught a glimpse of an all-American America. It was as though two searchlights had come together. One from Learned and one from London, forming a brighter beam, a more beckoning lighthouse. Those who have marked Andrew Jackson as a "Man of the People" surely cannot help but ascribe to Lady Jane the title of "Woman of the People." For the two shared the same traits: selflessness, devotion, humanity and the common touch. Lady Jane had been assaulted by minority thugs on the streets around her own home, but she somehow spryly bested her loutish attackers. Anyone who doubted that she was, in every way, better than her foes had only observe how she acquitted herself, every bit the modern version of Elizabeth I. Sheer gall was her sword, courage her armor and patriotism her shield. But she was no mannish woman. No "feminist" was she. Every bit a true lady, she unabashedly called herself a Nationalist, even before it became more commonplace to use the term. She could speak volumes about English motherhood and those other incomparable institutions, the "British Breakfast" and kidney pie. As we sat there enjoying her company and wisdom, I looked around at a clerk, an unemployed factory worker, an author, a cab driver and myself. This was no "royal" assemblage, but in a sense, perhaps, it was. To Lady Jane, "royalty" was Anglo-Saxon lineage, not "royal blood." Perhaps it was "heresy" for her to say so, and, indeed, many would have delighted in burning her at the stake. But, reformer she was and reformer she remains, in the annals of history. One could be, in her mind, the "nobility" of Britain by simply being a patriot, a modern-day member of Robin Hood's Band of Merry Men. I told her that the following day I would be laying a wreath at the Cenotaph, England's war memorial. She sighed and gave her approval. I could tell that she had seen so many go off to war and knew, herself, with heavy heart, so many of the fallen. She did not speak the words, but I could see in her bright eyes, "Carry on, for the Christian West." These were the same words spoken by Ed Coey at the funeral for his brother, John Alan Coey. Lady Patricia Malvern, a cohort of Lady Jane, had, at her own expense and at risk of her own life, transported Coey's body back home to America after the youth was killed by communists while fighting -- as a volunteer -- for freedom in Rhodesia. Francis Drake, Walter Raleigh, Enoch Powell, Albert Marriner, Lady Jane Birdwood. These would be the faces on an English "Mount Rushmore." I feel so honored and humble to have been touched by the life, works and vision of Britain's counterpart to Molly Pitcher. To Chris Jackson and her people, she will always be "legendary." To her compatriots, she will always be Lady Jane. To me, she will always also be that lily of the valley, that bright and shining star. Poster Comment: THE BIRDWOOD TAPES

IT IS NOT a very commendable truism that in the Christian West today, we live in a materialistic society. But was it always so? There must be enlightenment somewhere if we only knew where to look for it. A good starting point is undoubtedly The Bible where, for instance, in the New Testament we find St. Matthew's warning in Chapter 6, Verse 24 of his Gospel: "Ye cannot serve God and mammon"—i.e. worldliness, riches and greed. Those six words of caution immediately suggest Christian soundness and common sense. We should remember too that it was Christ himself who angrily drove the money-lenders out of the Temple. Left to their own devices and their somewhat unusual ideas of a contented, rewarding life, native Britons in the past instinctively shunned great wealth, preferring simpler tastes, pastimes and possessions, free from the massive financial entanglements which bear so heavily on us as we approach the 21st Century. So, what has gone wrong? How can we start to give money its proper place in 'the daily round and common task' of life, without the burdens of insatiable borrowing which bestow a crippling legacy of interest-bearing debt upon our hapless children? Try taking a close look at what this little book has to say about the problems confronting all of us. It makes a lot of sense, as you can see for yourself, and "serving mammon" really has so little going for it. "Serving God", on the other hand, could quickly remind us that the 'power without responsibility' wielded by those who largely underpin and manipulate our day-to-day lives through money-mania, is no substitute for honest-to-goodness living. Jane Birdwood, London
The lawyer who defended her www.douglaschristie.com/DHC/scrapbook.htm.
In 1991, she was brought to trial at the Old Bailey for ten counts of breaching the Public Order Act 1986. She was given a three-month suspended sentence and a £500 fine after being found guilty of all charges (which related to the distribution of Antisemitic material). She was brought to trial for similar offences in 1994 and 1998, although the last hearing was suspended on health grounds.[1] Her lawyer for these trials was usually Doug Christie, a Canadian lawyer best known for defending individuals accused of Nazi war crimes or racist, antisemitic or neo-Nazi activity.[4] Birdwood continued to lead British Solidarity as a pressure group, publish Choice and run a publishing venture, Inter City Researchers, until late 1999 when she was forced to stand down for health reasons. After her retirement most of these concerns passed into the hands of her associates, the former National Front co-leader Martin Webster and Peter Marriner, also a former British Movement activist.[1]

Lady Jane is in print again
LESS than a year ago, a nasty old bat called the Dowager Lady Jane Birdwood, was convicted at the Old Bailey of 10 offences concerning the distribution of literature intending to stir up racial hatred. Because of her age (78) and 'previous good record' the judge conditionally discharged her - warning: 'If you commit another offence in the next two years, you are liable to go to prison.' Intriguing, then, to get a copy of Lady Birdwood's contribution to the European debate. The August issue of her newspaper Choice was in English, French, German and Italian, and warned our neighbours: 'Millions of 'British' Afro-Asians are poised to flood into Europe] . . . Britain has a huge and growing population of West Indians, Africans, Pakistanis, Indians, Chinese and numerous other black brown and yellow peoples' who will 'move into Europe in waves of hundreds of thousands'. Furthermore, an independent European bank will be exploited by the Zionist Jews of the 'international banking cabal' for the purposes of world domination on behalf of their 'tribe'. This, and another pamphlet on the 'Holocaust hoax' is very much the sort of stuff for which Birdwood was prosecuted last time. She tells us she's 'not worried . . . Someone's got to stand up, and I don't have access to the media because of the Jewish grip on it.' Stan Newens, MEP for London Central, who is one recipient, has passed the leaflets to the DPP.

A very English extremistOne of Britain’s most prolific racist and antisemitic propagandists has passed away. Dowager Lady Jane Birdwood, editor of Choice magazine and close political ally of wartime nazi collaborators, died on 29 June. Often dismissed as an eccentric crank, Birdwood represented the far right of the establishment. Backed by MPs, lords, vicars, retired officers and the wealthy, she was a very English extremist. Nick Lowles looks back on the life of one of Britain’s most important postwar racists. Born Joan Pollock Graham in Winnipeg, Canada, on 18 May 1913, the Dowager Lady Jane Birdwood was the second of three daughters of a Scottish aristocrat, Christopher Norman ...
