VI THE ELEVENTH HOUR
INTRODUCTION
TOORIGINAL
EDITION
by Ronald Rickcord
THE IMPRISONMENTin 1986 ofJohn Tyndall, leaderofthe British
National Partyand editorof Spearhead, and ofJohn Morse, editorof
the party newspaper British Nationalist, was an outrageous attempt
to silence two patriotic Britons who had dared express views which
may no longer be openly discussed in this country. It is indeed ironic
that the two men were both imprisoned for publishing the truth in a
countrythat prides itselfon having taught the world that 'freedom of
speech' is a sacrosanct right belonging to all citizens of a civilised
land.
Doubtless the ruling and influential individuals, many of alien
extraction, who comprise the conspiratorial clique which today
determinesthefate ofthe Britishpeople, hopedthattheimprisonment
ofMessrs.TyndallandMorsewoulddeterthemandotherlike-minded
patriotsfrom utteringviews whichare potentiallysopopularthatthey
must be suppressed at all costs. However, if they imagined that such
men could be silenced, they were mistaken; for both emerged from
prison unbowed and quite unrepentant.
Justhowfarthe inquisitorshadmiscalculated the resolveofBritish
Nationaliststo goon spreadingthetruth was shownbythecontinued
publication ofBritish Nationalist duringtheirimprisonment, and the
publication of Spearhead, which was resumed immediately after Mr.
Tyndall'srelease. But,aboveall,themagnitudeofthe nationalists'victory
overthetotallyunrepresentativeestablishment,whichseeksto control
ourthoughts and opinions as well as ouractions, is more than amply
testified by the appearance of this absorbing and penetrating book.
In one sense it can be said that by imprisoning John Tyndall the
enemies of British Nationalism did us all a favour by providing him
withtherare opportunityforwritingTheEleventhHour,abookwhich

many nationalists had hoped would be forthcoming for a long time.
Mr. Tyndall's enforced leisure afforded him the peace and quiet that
are necessary for writing an important book of this kind - luxuries
whichhis dutiesas leaderofthe BritishNational Party seldom, ifever,
permit. So, to use a colloquialism, it can be said that Mr. Tyndall's
enemies "scored an own-goal," and we nationalists and, indeed, all
peopleconcernedwith the future ofourcountryare the beneficiaries.
Although most Britonswho takean intelligent interestin domestic
politicalmatterswilldoubtlesshave heardofJohnTyndall,fewofthem,
apart from thosewho are his own colleaguesand supporters, actually
knowthe manor fullyunderstand his political beliefs and aspirations.
The reasonfor thiswidespread public ignoranceisthattherehas been
a co-ordinated conspiracy waged by the political establishment to
suppresssuchbeliefs- anestablishmentwhichisfearfulofthe potential
popularityofMr.Tyndall'sviews.Thissuppressionisfurtherreinforced
by the activities of the hostile news media, which have successfully
persuaded the less discerning majority to believe that Mr.Tyndall is
some sort of ogre who, given half a chance, would subject his
compatriots to a totalitarian dictatorship.
BesidesprovidingMr.Tyndallwithameansofansweringhis critics,
the publication of The Eleventh Hour will also enable those who are
genuinely interested to discover for themselves what he really stands
for.Byreadingthis book, theywill notonly discoverthe truththatlies
behindmany of the events inwhich Mr.Tyndall has been involvedbut
they will also learn about his background and early struggles, his
political beliefs and the evolution of the British National Partywhich
he now leads. I believe that all who read The Eleventh Hour, even
thosewhohold viewsdiametricallyopposedto Mr.Tyndall's, willagree
that the book makes fascinating readingand goes a long way towards
dispelling some of the myths that have surrounded those of us who
subscribe to the cause of British Nationalism.
There can be little doubt that had John Tyndall chosen any other
walk of life than the one he did he would have made his mark. I am
quite convinced that, with his outstandingpowers of oratory, and his
abilities as a writer, administrator and leader, he would have risen to
thetopofany ofthemajorpoliticalpartiesifhe hadhadamind to join
one. But unlikesomanyofthosepoliticianswho todayinfesttheBritish
political scene and unfortunately dominate the political destinies of
our people and our country, Mr.Tyndall is no careerist or self-seeker.
Unlike them, he is not concerned with self-aggrandisement or power
for power's sake; if those had been the forces that motivated him he
would surely have joined one of the established political parties long
ago. And, unlike so many of the politicians oftoday, he is, above all, a
man of principles.
Vlll THE ELEVENTH HOUR
In all the years that [ have known John Tyndall I cannot recall a
single occasion when he compromised any of his principles in order
to gain any momentaryadvantage,to currypublicfavouror as amatter
ofpoliticalexpediency.As ayoungman, he madeaconsciousdecision
to take up the cause of British Nationalism and give his whole life to
it, and he hasfor morethanaquarterofacenturyremainedfaithful to
that cause despite the sometimes almost insuperable obstacles that
have been placed in his way. Tomy certain knowledge, he has never
deviated one iotafrom the lonely, and at timesdangerous, taskwhich
he has set himself.
I am convinced that all fair-minded readers, whether they agree
withMr.Tyndall'sopinionsornot,willhaveto admitthathis sincerity,
integrityand probityareevidentin everypage of this book. Butthose
are not his only virtues; he also possesses in large measure courage,
persistence and an unrelenting dedication to the future well-being of
the British people. Despite the conspiratorial efforts of his enemies
and the numerous ploys they have used to thwart his legitimate
aspiration to see the control of his native land restored to his fellow
countrymen, John Tyndall has, by sheer tenacity, forged a political
movement in this country which, in spite of many obstacles and
setbacks, is, in myopinion, the most potentweaponwe have to bring
about the resurgence of our nation and the salvation of our people.
Mr. Tyndall is a realist, and he has always warned his supporters
that the struggle in which they are engaged will be long and arduous.
He knowsthat thenationalistvictoryforwhich he hassoardentlyand
valiantly fought all his political life may not materialise quite so soon
as many would hope. However, sooner or later British Nationalism
willtriumph; andwhenitdoesJohnTyndall'snamewill endureas that
of its principal architect. Indeed, I predict that John Tyndall will be
remembered long after the political pygmies who are now so busily
engagedinplottingournationaldeclineandracial suicideare forgotten.
The Eleventh Hour not only provides us with a blueprint for the
salvationofourcountry; it also tells the inspiringstoryofwhatcan be
achieved by one remarkable man of vision who has set his face
implacablyagainstthenationaldeath-wishwith which so manyofour
so-called leaders seem to be afflicted. It is a bookthat should be read
byall Britonswho haveagenuinelove of theircountry, and indeed by
patriots all over the world who feel about their own countries in the
same way. The book may not become a best-seller in the immediate
future; but I believe that in the years beyond it will take its place as
the most outstandingtestament written bya British Nationalist.
