John Tyndall (politician)
John Hutchyns Tyndall (14 July 1934 – 19 July 2005) was a British politician who was prominently associated with several fascist/neo-Nazi sects. However, he is best known for leading the National Front in the 1970s and founding the contemporary British National Party (BNP) in 1982.
A prominent figure in British nationalism in the second-half of the twentieth century, Tyndall's legacy has been highly controversial among political opponents, including some members of the contemporary BNP under his successor Nick Griffin. His opponents both inside and outside the National Front and the BNP have frequently pointed at his historical involvement with the openly neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement as deputy leader under Colin Jordan in the early 1960s.
