 Semantic Summary 
 Veteran far-right activist, author and former councillor with over two decades of continuous involvement in the UK neo-Nazi scene, based in Epping Forest, Essex. He was the BNP's candidate for Mayor of London in 2004, a BNP councillor for Hainault, Redbridge (2006–2010), won an Epping Forest council seat for For Britain in 2019 (321 votes, 40.7%), and is now active with the British Democrats.
