Is this the BBC’s latest attempt to twist history and smear Britons as racist dupes?
Peter Hitchens — The Daily Mail Oct 9, 2021
The distortion of the past is getting out of control. The truth is available to only a privileged few with good memories or access to crumbling, forgotten archives. So you can say what you like.
The BBC‘s new Sunday evening drama Ridley Road is a perfect example of this. At first sight it looks like a harmless paddle in the past, into the lost world of suspender belts and British- made cars.
But it is carefully designed to give viewers the impression that Britain in 1962 was menaced by a major Nazi-style movement, led by a man called Colin Jordan.
It begins with the on-screen claim that ‘public support across the country is on the rise’ for Jordan’s neo-Nazis.
Then the drama makes a deliberate effort to suggest that people living in the Britain of that time, who were distressed by major changes in their lives, were easy prey for Nazi recruiters from this movement.
Such people are portrayed as being rather dim and also as saying that they ‘want our country back’, in what looks to me like a crude and nasty attempt to make these fascist dupes sound like Leave voters of today.
As far as the makers of this series are concerned, if you’re at all conservative you’re really a Nazi.
There is lots of other rubbish in this programme. But the exaggeration of Jordan’s importance is ridiculous. He was a pathetic nobody and a national figure of fun, not a potential Fuhrer.
Newspapers of the time called his outfit ‘Britain’s tiny jackboot-and-swastika Nazi party’. His greatest moment of fame, portrayed but not properly explained in the programme, was a pro-Hitler demonstration in Trafalgar Square on Sunday, July 1, 1962. It attracted almost no support, but thousands of hostile counter-demonstrators.
The Times of July 2, 1962, reported: ‘Throughout the meeting the speakers, Mr Dennis Pirie, deputy secretary, Mr John Tyndall, national secretary and Mr Colin Jordan, leader of the movement, were continually shouted down and pelted with pennies, tomatoes and rotten eggs, by an overwhelmingly hostile crowd of some 2,000.
‘The few people who did raise their hands in an earnest Nazi salute looked distinctly nervous.’
The Daily Mail of the same date said: ‘Police struggled to keep the angry crowd, many of them Jews, away from the speakers. Hundreds of men and women chanted ‘Six millions! Six millions!’, a reference to the Jews who died under the Nazis.’
It is plain from the reports that Jordan had hardly any supporters then or later. In the end, one of his fellow Nazis was quite badly beaten, before the platform party fled in vans from the angry crowd. Jordan himself got away only because a phalanx of police protected him and blocked the entrance to the Underground while he escaped.
Eventually the High Court ruled that Jordan had broken the Public Order Act of 1936, by using insulting behaviour, which he undoubtedly had. By that time he was already in prison, making TV aerials, after being convicted of a ludicrous attempt to set up a private army. He had also lost his job as a teacher in a secondary modern school.
Later he embarked on a comic-opera marriage with the leather-clad madwoman Francoise Dior, niece of the great fashion designer. Francoise liked to wear a swastika pendant, even though this got her into difficulties with many London taxi drivers. One ripped it from her neck, and refused to ‘chauffeur a stinking Nazi’.
The pair held a ‘Nordic’ wedding at their unimpressive party HQ, not far from where Grenfell Tower now stands. While a crowd outside hurled bottles and eggs at the building, Jordan and his Nazi bride mingled dribbles of their blood in a grotesque ceremony, while listening to a record of the Horst Wessel song. It was not a happy or lasting union.
Not long afterwards Francoise denounced Jordan, saying: ‘I thought I was marrying a leader and a hero but found I had married a middle-class nobody.’ You can see why. Jordan, a dough-faced nondescript, lived with his mother Bertha in a suburban road in Coventry.
Nazism was not on the rise again in 1962. Jordan was not a major figure. British people, then as now, were sensible, level-headed and humorous. The law found plenty of ways of restraining Jordan and people like him. The whole basis of the BBC drama is rubbish. The blatant effort to link normal patriotic conservatives with bigots and Nazis in the public mind is low and dirty.
They tell these lies because they can and they want to use drama for propaganda. If the BBC will not stop doing this with public money, they do not deserve to survive.
Lord rothschild told his apostles in 1935 that another major war was coming and he gave his apostles letters of introduction to the BBC newspapers and the intelligence world
Jews got out of military service by going to the jewish doctor and were signed off with short sigh flat feet or hearing problems
This meant when our Englishmen were fghting the war for the jews
the jews took london, a succession of jewish gangs jack sput Peter rachman and the kray twins all inherited this empire of protection rackets prostitution rigged card games and boxing matches
The east london shop keepers begged oswald mosley for help and he made sure vulnerable shops had bodyguards
but during he blackouts
mad frankie fraser said on TV the jewish gangs would be out burgling and robbing shops then set it alight and say it was a stray german bomb
petticoat lane was where the jews sold all the stolen goods
many a wife of a serviceman got into debt and if her husband was lucky enough to come back after the war, he found the local jew now owned his home
The truth of how the jews behaved has never been told
Colin Jordan
was a good straight guy, but while shopping in tesco the jews set him up and accused him of heft, they said he stole a womans set of fluffy frilly red knickers
this made him a laughing stock
I concur. Thanks good review
I read Mike Walsh’s take on Jordan some time ago. He reckoned Jordan was a “wrong un”. I’m sure this account can be found somewhere. The state’s hijacking of poltical movements is well known. Leftist Larry O’Hara’s documenting and analysis on state manipulation, although not without idiosyncracy and virtue signalling, is also well worth looking at. Small political parties of many flavours have been riddled with MI5 agents for decades.
I once again attach my own experience of nationalism with the observation that Simon Darby – my line manager – West Midlands organiser and deputy leader of the BNP, was an MI5 asset.
Anyway, who gives a fig about Hitchens, a man who had a “vaccine” so he could carry on with his gatekeeping…
The is the BBC with their fiction of a media moral panic. If we go back to the 60s, we are led to believe they were the ‘Swinging Sixties”, yet, every well known sheeple who were current celebs in that period, have no recollection of anything resembling the fake media creation of the Swinging Sixties.
The idea behind behind Ridley Road is that sheeple will start to recognise more fake news Nazi creations constructed by the deep state, such as alledged Jo Cox killer was a Nazi. It appears that Mair isn’t even in the prison he’s supposed to be in, if, he’s in prison at all for playing the fall guy patsy for Cox’s murder/faked murder.
Yesterday I heard a BBC presstitute read out a list of diabolical Covid anti-vaxxers conspiracy theories conjoured up by deep state players embedded in the anivax movement.
There’s a massive war going on for every sheeple/lambs mind. Peter Hitchens does little to explain this, he just pops round with his mop.
Downton Abbey: this is a parody of today’s filthy rich elite. They hide it in a period drama, where most filthy rich characters are very nice, especially nice to the surfs. Okay, there’s the odd nasty shit, but on the whole, the filthy rich are a nice bunch and that’s how they want the sheeple to think regarding our current filthy rich scum. Do you think the French police/immigration authorities are rushing to the marina everytime a big swanky yacht sails/motors into port? Excuse me, can we see your Covid passport Mr Billionaire? Are the guests and crew quarantined on the yacht with bread and water rations? It’s not even a two tier system.
Talking about tiers, this is a good way to evaluate just how free your mind is. In recently read comments, I must have read the Rothschilds name more times than I can count. Using honest, buy extremely distant rhetoric doesn’t project your argument. It’s no good saying it Rothschild all the time, when there’s an army between us and the Master. We’ve got to fight the NWO foot soldiers before we can slay the Red Dragon, or is it the Red Shield… scratching head.
My family are from east london
the jews had access to food cards, all food was rationed but the jews always had plenty this was because home office minister was peter mandelsons grandfather Hervbert Morrison, this meant the jews ( knicknamed spsivs ) alaways had extra food to sell the country was dead against another war
and this was why churchill was so hated
People have lost all sense & reason,
We all know the hordes who still watch ‘TV’ will sit there, in a stupor, Taking it in as historical truth.
I ask, Is the BBC the most vile, evil propaganda mechanism ever devised.
I think it is.
The TRUTH below.

WORLD WAR TWO
My family like many irish families supported hitler
after the crimes of Churchil and the Black and Tans
no way would a lot of irish men support Britain
But during w w 2 many of us came to the UK
to work on the re-uilding programes
It was us irish who took on the jewish london gangs,
there was a crowd of rough hard drinking boys called the kilkennies
and those men sorted out many of the jews,
in particular, house wives whose men were fighting at the front
often waited ages for their money, so many fell into the hands of the jewish moneylenders
those who were late paying were forced into prostitution, those who reused had their faces slashed
The Yiddishers were Whitechapel based jews who were very violent
but the Kilkenny boys wee the toast of the area for beating them up and clearing them out
but they only passed things on to jack spot, all mafia are jews at the top
and certainly so in london w w 2
The Jews are destroying the British and nipping all resistance to the process in the bud.
They were flogging this embarrassing shit-show hard on the execrable One Show on BBC1 the other night.
They had some professional yid gnashing on about it.
Pathetic. They’re scraping the barrel now.
One would have to be a slack-jawed imbecile with the cognitive capabilities of a turnip to think the ministry of propaganda fecal bucket BBC would ever broadcast anything but gross distortions and outright lies.
The Whites had two great leaders in the 1960’s. One was Lincoln Rockwell from America & the other was Colin Jordan from the UK. The white Christianized egalitarian cattle basically ignored/rejected both of them. But as we view modern day Britan/USA we can see that their Nazi ideology was/is right.
Colin Jordan recognized that only the sociopolitical/biological principles of Nazism could liberate Britain from alien Jewish control & disintegration into inevitable multi-racial mongrel oblivion. He wrote some good books too; such as ‘Merrie England 2000’ & ‘The Uprising’.
Hitchens is right about the rewriting of history, but his comments about Jordan show his liberal bias and his poor research. I met Colin Jordan, and there’s no doubt that he was a very clever man.
Michael McLaughlin (now calling himself Mike Walsh), was in the British Movement. Walsh took control after Jordan was set up. When it collapsed – largely due to his incompetence – he adopted a new name and reinvented himself as an Irish nationalist.
probably the truth is that end of world war 2 england
stood under a jewish communist perverted spell and
many english people found out that their government
leaders did not deserve them . i think : britain was
already lost to the jews and their paied provocateurs
in those times as the rest of europa already is lost
to jewishpopulation exchange today . guilty were
in all times the indifferent majority !
Mr. Hitchens fails to mention that it was Adolph Hitler, immediately after his rise to victory, offered a peaceful reconciliation with Britain. Had this been acted upon instead of ignored by Britain, there would have been a saving of 60 million, mainly European lives, a Britain that may have not gone broke, and a man named Colin Jordan would have lived and died an unknown.
Revilo Oliver saw in 1967 that this position Hitchens holds has to give way to White Nationalism or live in an hypocritical state of submission, and even Oliver was very late. I might stop nit-picking about Hitler, except to explain that he was a special, and Jewish, case that cannot simply be replicated.
Hitchens is right about the rewriting of history, but his comments
Hitchens is a bought and paid for whore as most likely his mammy was shot up by a goo as his father fought for banker war.
The goo always control both sided of our narative just like they invaded Russia and told the Russian the Tsar was a baddie. Then checka invented gulag which we are soon to believe is covid.
The Kray were not bad people as they thought they were doing the right thing for their manor. I had a friend who worked as cleaner in police parish of Stamford/Stokenewington who was also bar-keep in Kray club.
Strange world really of one Jack the hat as in abutment nigh BAC Roebuck, dog food factory Dagneham,(sp) nigh old Ford plant.
Oh well, oh well as people robz trainz way back then.
Hitchins talks about real history being twisted but then mentions the jews banging on about “the six million”. Oh the irony.
My granfparents used to talk of the Yiddshers the biggest of the jewish gangs in the war
they spoke with much fear, they would send a man door to door to collect 3 shillings a week
from every house, that wasa lot of money in those days
if you refused or could not pay you would have a chalk mark put on the pavement outside and that night bricks or molotov cocktails would come through the windows
yes the wartime jews in london were bastards
