John Morse (British politician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Morse was a leading figure in the British National Party under John Tyndall, serving alongside Richard Edmonds as Tyndall's closest ally in the party.
His alliance with Tyndall began when Morse supported his leadership of the National Front and continued when he was a founder of the New National Front. In the BNP Morse served as editor of the party newpaper British Nationalist [1] and in 1986 was jailed, along with Tyndall, for publishing material relating to racial hatred [2]. He was expelled from the BNP in 2002 and, although he was later reinstated, he is no longer involved in the party. Away from politics Morse worked in Winchester as a bus driver and was the focus of an Anti Nazi League campaign to remove him from his job [3].
