Whilst Griffin is now a highly marginal figure in the UK, pro-Putin sentiment has also been notably widespread amongst the “ alt-right”, a loose, tech-savvy, international far-right movement that mobilised around Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. One such British figure is the influential blogger “Morgoth”, who in 2018 favourably compared Putin’s Russia to the UK, writing: “The Russian people are not responsible for unending, genocidal levels of Third World immigration and Vladimir Putin did not cover up the mass rape of English girls by those Third World peoples.” Nevertheless, I concur that we, as nationalists, patriots, traditionalists, royalists and identitarians are engaged in an existential battle against an identifiable and recognizable evil in the form of Liberal/Left progressivism, Cultural Marxism and anti-white hatred. A war that is just as vital, as that faced by the men of Gondor and Rohan, the Elves of Elrond and Galadriel, and Durin’s Dwarves fighting hordes of Easterlings in Dale. Taking Britain as an example, 2020 saw the moment in which the babies born to the indigenous majority became the minority of newborns. So when it comes to peak fighting age between 15 and 25, the Brits will become the minority in their own homeland not in 2060, but in 2040.” PA leader Mark Collett (left) with his former girlfriend Jenna Smith The British Far Right and Putin’s Russia

It is literally our nation’s most precious relic, relating events of war, vengeance, and battling monsters in late fifth-century Scandinavia. Nevertheless, both its author and the location of its final composition are unknown. Scholars have speculated that it has East Anglian pagan roots, linking it to King Raedwald and Sutton Hoo. Others guess that its Christian overlay was added many centuries later, when it was copied into the Late West Saxon dialect in the scriptorium at Malmesbury. This is why it is so important for our children to peer into the tunnel entrance of Wayland’s Smithy in Oxfordshire and to walk the footpaths between the great mounds at Sutton Hoo. Therein lies a lesson for us all, for the perpetuation of our folk-memory in poems, chants, and incantations is as important as the preservation of the blood of our race: LT: Your writing makes a number of references to ‘Orwellianism’. Do you see Europe edging towards the kind of world we saw in Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984? If so, what similarities do you see? This is what happens when you lose a war. You don’t just lose on the battle field, the next generation and the next generation loses in regular life. You become crushed, dehumanized, turned into something else. War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriBeowulf’s actions bring him fame and glory amongst his own people. This set an example for the Anglo-Saxons, whose own royal houses claimed direct descent from the Danes, Geats, and Swedes such as King Hygelac, who the poem mentions as being one of Beowulf’s relatives, and who we know from other sources lived at the time the oral story is believed to have first been told.

not a tumultuary and giddy choice; it is a deliberate election of ages and of generations; it is a constitution made I begin Resistance with a quote from Guillaume Faye: “Now is the time for a dissident generation to rise.” I urge every one of us to heed the call. Germanic incursions into these islands that were met head on, at least initially, in the same tradition as their fellow Celt Vercingetorix the Gaul, who defeated the Romans at the Battle of Gergovia in 52 BC, when as John Morris writes in his book The Age of Arthur (1973), quoting a Kentish Chronicler: I would certainly encourage some of the young talent I see in our movement to have a go at creating their own poetry, short stories and longer fiction. My only two caveats would be, firstly to learn to be very patient. Our publishing companies are well-meaning and professional but they are not rich multi-nationals and they are run on very tight budgets. Secondly, my own writing is certainly more Louis-Ferdinand Céline than Jean-Paul Sartre but it is also more Albert Camus than Dr. William Pierce, if you get my meaning? FS: Although I refer to Orwell on a number of occasions my earliest introduction to dystopian literature was through Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) and Yevgeny Zamyatin’s ‘We’ which was written in the earlier 1920s. I came to Orwell’s Animal Farm (1945) and 1984 (1949) much later but it certainly had a dramatic effect on me. Especially when I saw the increasing pace at which governments were happily ignoring the mandates upon which they were elected and began developing controlling mechanisms along with their allies in business, high finance, the media and now Big Tech, to effectively rule by diktat.LT: Do you have faith that Europeans will overcome the dangers that you highlight in Resistance? What does victory look like to you? If this principle is uniformly adopted and enforced across all member states, it could be the death knell not only of justice, but also historical inquiry as know it. So, Brasillach was led out of his monk-like existence, calling out “Au revoir Beraud, Au revoir Lucien Combelle!” to his fellow prisoners before being unceremoniously bundled into a van awaiting him outside the Fresnes prison. and religious observances, a special set of oral traditions and a peculiar manner of initiating its useful members

Patriotic Alternative (PA), which has united the dregs of the BNP with a younger generation of alt-right activists, is similarly Russophile in outlook. PA leader Mark Collett, a former protégé and now a bitter enemy of Griffin, believes Putin to be sympathetic towards white nationalism and admires his leadership style, commenting: An England, as one reviewer said of Robert Winder’s book about English identity, The Last Wolf (2017), “seen through the prism of wool, water and wheat”. And it is my contention that it is from within this long tradition of oral rendition that many of today’s musicians operate. Modern day troubadours (or trobairitz if women) carrying both the news and their romantic yarns far and wide. The term troubadour itself, as referred to above, taken from the Provencal or Occitan trobador meaning composer, with the Late Latin variant tropare, implying “to invent a poem.” With some of the most familiar Medieval and Elizabethan folk songs sung by troubadours, themselves evolving out of even far earlier traditions, defining the style, content and tempo of those that followed. Examples would be the familiar tune “Greensleeves,” a folk song with many alternate versions, the most dominant of which is in the Spanish romanesca or passamezzo antico style which was first written down by Richard Jones in 1580. The lyrics some claim to be a reference to a woman of low morals, with the Chaucerian scholar Nevill Coghill (1899 -1980) indicating that green was associated with someone “light in love” and the colour representing the grass stains on a dress after fornication in the fields. William Shakespeare referencing the song in his play The Merry Wives of Windsor (1597): “Let the sky rain potatoes! Let it thunder to the tune of Greensleeves”. Another popular song being the somewhat sexual in content, The Elfin Knight: Artefacts and Archaeology: Aspects of the Celtic and Roman World, Miranda Aldhouse-Green and Peter Webster (2002) Whilst Collett staunchly defends Putin’s actions, others have lightly qualified their support. For example, the pseudonymous streamer “Ayatollah” has claimed that “As flawed as Putin and his agenda are, the Ukrainians as a people will be much better off in the Russian sphere of influence than they would in that of NATO/ZOG” (ZOG refers to Zionist Occupied Government, far right shorthand for the supposed Jewish conspiracy). He also claimed that “NATO (and hence, ZOG)” desires to see Ukraine “flooded with and colonised by millions of aggressive, emboldened foreigners”.Indeed, the wonders of nature, its fecundity and beauty, are a central tenet of all folk music, especially the wassailing tradition, which greatly influenced the development of many musical styles and cross fertilized the courtly and religious traditions with a more earthy rural form. The expression wassailing itself coming from the old Anglo-Saxon greeting “be thou hale” or “to be in good health”. Which later, through people of predominantly Danish descent, living side by side with the broader English population, became “was hail!”, a drinking term eagerly adopted by the indigenous people and is now synonymous with Christmas. Traditionally the wassail being celebrated on the Twelfth Night on either the 5th or 6th January and was a reciprocal exchange between Lord and peasant:
