Jonathan Bowden dead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to:

Jonathan Bowden (born 1962 in Kent - died 2012 in Berkshire) was a British artist and political figure who was been involved with a number of political parties and groups, and was also a leading speaker on the nationalist circuit.
Career Jonathan Bowden began his political career as a member of the Conservative Party and the Monday Club. During the early 1990s, he had been the deputy chairman of the Western Goals Institute.[1] Bowden was a founding member, along with Stuart Millson, of the Revolutionary Conservative Caucus set up in 1993, with the aim of introducing "abstract thought into the nether reaches of the Conservative and Unionist party."[2] He was thus prominent in the milieu responsible for the emergence of Right Now! magazine.[3]
He later joined the Freedom Party, for which he acted as Treasurer for a period,[4] and subsequently, with Adrian Davies, was a leader of the Bloomsbury Forum.[5] Bowden went on to join the British National Party (BNP), and was for a period its Cultural Officer.
In July 2007, he resigned from the BNP following a bitter dispute in which an associate of BNP leader Nick Griffin made defamatory allegations against Bowden on a blog.[6] It has been claimed by Martin Webster that Bowden was forced out of the party due to his support for Chris Jackson, who made an unsuccessful attempt to replace Griffin as leader.[7]
After September 2008 Bowden resumed speaking at BNP events, but never rejoined the party. Since the May 2010 elections he had no further connection to the BNP. Jonathan Bowden was the Chairman of the New Right and an associate of Troy Southgate. He died of a heart attack on 29th March, 2012, at his home in Berkshire.

That is no age at all.
Well he was on to a loser,"trying to introduce abstract thought" into the conservative party.
I never met Mr Bowden, but what we had in common was both of us appeared on "COVERT TATICS" Blog.
Unlike normal folk who would be naturally sympathetic to Jonathan's family, I'm sure Tommy W is rubbing his club-foot with ill-disguised glee.
RIP

=============================
Those two thickos Williams and Howard from Sheffield are probably very happy about this as will the few others who supported these 2 scum such as Bev of VNN.
Blame must go to Griffin yet again.He runs the coverts and just like John Tyndall Bowden was hounded out of the BNP.
JBowden was an excellent speaker.RIP
As with John Tyndall, Griffin was jealous of Jonathan Bowden due to their talents.
That is why he set his goon duo to spread appalling stories on their un- 'covert blog'.
JBs death is a terrible shame.He could well have become the leader of nationalist forces here in the UK.
JB RIP
While Jonathan Bowden was no friend of mine or latterly the BNP, his early death deprives the broader . . .

That crook Griffin tweeted this earlier.
Extremely sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting Jonathan on several occasions and first heard him speak in 2007. A great man who will be sorely missed.
A big loss to the Nationalist movement.
jonathans death will be a great loss to our cause RIP.

I support unreservedly Nick Griffin’s leadership of the BNP. Unreservedly of course refers to the present and the future. In the past I have resolutely opposed Griffin’s positioning of the Party as being pro Christianity. I am still a committed secularist, but there has been quite enough time wasted, in waiting for an alternative leadership to emerge.
To put it quite clearly and straight forwardly, Nick Griffin has held on tenaciously to the BNP leadership, proving that he is willing and able to do a very difficult job. Indeed he has made it clear that he is very enthusiastic about doing the very difficult job of leading the BNP. Whether or not this has been from idealism or his perception of his own financial self interest is irrelevant. He has made it clear that he is enthusiastic about being the front man for British Nationalism.
All British Nationalists should renew their support for the Nick Griffin led BNP, and not as some sort of covert method of ousting Griffin. Indeed Nick Griffin should be encouraged to change the BNP constitution if necessary, to ensure that he has, say, a ten year tenure as Party leader, to put an end to any further interpersonal political agendas.
Private reservations about whether Nick Griffin is an active or passive agent of the British Security Services are likewise irrelevant. Nick Griffin has made a life time’s commitment to British Nationalism. Indeed he has become seriously ill from time to time, because of the stresses of his job. He has earned our support, and of course he is the only act on offer.
All British Nationalists should now unreservedly support the BNP, and the Nick Griffin leadership of the BNP. Policy adjustments can be made later, in the usual political and democratic way.
Lets make this summer a low point in the fortunes of British Nationalism.
ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!!!
Are you taking the piss ?
NWN why have you allowed the last post from Keine ruhe?
I WILL NEVER RENEW MY SUPPORT FOR THE LYING THIEVING TRAITOR NICK GRIFFIN KEINE RUHE.AND IN MY OPINION ANY ONE WHO SUPPORTS THE SCUM IS HIS BUM WIPER END OF.
I agree with Keine Ruhe on one point: supporting Nick Gri££in is a low point in the fortunes of British Nationalism.
Well he was on to a loser,"trying to introduce abstract thought" into the conservative party.

The likes of Tommy Williams and Dave Howard in particular as well as the junior followers of these 2 such as Bev Kerry, Jock Shearer,Alan Rhodes and one or two that seem to be allowed now into Rochdale NF, all should be proud of the trouble they have caused within nationalism.
Any party that allows lowlifes like these within will never prosper.
RIP JB.
I met Jonathan at a number of political meetings and garden parties, a true English intellectual in every sense of the word. He suffered his fair share of mistreatment at the hands of the Griffin attack dogs, which should never be forgotten.
how sad that he ended up rubbing shoulders with anarcho-satanist twot Southgate.
No your taking the piss ,why should he not be able to have his say ? If We don't join as one We will never get anywhere ,maybe that's what you want are you a uaf cunt ?
I support bnp ,what makes you right leona,I'm no "bum wiper" I just want my country back . What party do you vote for , labour ? Lib demo ? You know fuck all leona
That pillock Howard still writes his guff on VNN using the name 'The truth at last'.
He's too thick to see the irony in that name.
I had the genuine pleasure of meeting Jonathan on a number of occaisions, chairing a couple of Tameside meetings where he spoke.
Like him I also suffered the Slings and Arrows of the covert blog so I felt some affinity with him.
The Nationalist cause is poorer for his demise.
RIP
Hey NWN I think you will find that one or two of Griffins CUNTs group have moved to the NWI and EDL now.
Ooops apolagies Keine i got it wrong .. not only did i mean any one that suppports Lying Thieving Gri££in ..not must they be his bum wipers but also deaf , blind and foul mouthed. This is what is left of the BNP,and this is just one of the reasons why the voting Public and decent members and actavists left some time ago , and why the BNP must never get their foot on the ladder again. Dont bother with the usua; red/uaf nonesence Keine ..that shows your level of inteligence .
The public who don't vote bnp because of "foul mouth" are soft touch wankers, because someone swears I'm not voting for you ,We are a soft touch country ,I'm sick of soft arseholess like you leona you bunch of tossers are no good for anyone ,I am NF don't come on are demo We swear ,so do edl demos and nwi demos ,in fact I've never been to any demo without "foul mouth" so your soft type shite dont support any nationalists . Fuck off back to the uaf ,,,,,red hand man
I discoverd the work of Mr.Bowden only a year ago via youtube. My awareness of his lectures coincided with the genesis of my own racialist awakening and were instrumental in introducing me to key political and philosophical schools of thought pertaining to racial nationalism i fear i would never have otherwise been made aware of.
It is a tragic loss to the Nationalist cause, and to the country as a whole.
I offer my sincerest condolences to his friends and family. RIP Mr. Bowden.
“Truthfully, in this age those with intellect have no courage and those with some modicum of physical courage have no intellect.
If things are to alter during the next fifty years then we must re-embrace Byron’s ideal: the cultured thug.” - Jonathan Bowden, 1962-2012
