Statement by Valerie Tyndall- August 2010

This is a statement from Valerie Tyndall, wife of the late John Tyndall, owner and publisher of the original Spearhead magazine for over 40 years.

I am responding to two postings on the internet from Mr Erik Ericksson (E.E.) of the NF Forum. His postings are full of absolute lies and drivel. When my husband died. five years ago, I made the decision to wind-up Spearhead. Richard Edmonds agreed with me. And yes, John Tyndall was Spearhead and Spearhead was John Tyndall. I was married to JT for many years and knew him inside out. He would never have wanted me to pass on Spearhead. He believed no-one was up to his standards, consistency and dedication.

Considering that I ended Spearhead after John’s death why on earth would I have asked Mr Ericksson, or anyone else to become editor. This is an absolute lie. The only things I agreed to, were annual JT meetings, organised to date by Mr. R. Fawcuss and Richard Edmonds. Yes, being John’s wife, and helping with Spearhead over many years, I did believe and still believe I have the moral right to decide things.

Initially, Richard Edmonds borrowed the Spearhead subscription lists to reimburse people who had over paid for copies they would no longer receive.

To suggest that I, or Richard Edmonds, would hand over the subs. list to Identity, or anyone else is just preposterous. The lists are not in my home, but in a most safe place, and only I have them. I was told that Spearhead is now being published to promote John’s political ideals. What poppycock! The name has been poached by a usurper and opportunist to further himself – his own ends.

This man, Erickson, was a founder member in 1982 of the BNP, but barely 12 months later he stormed out of a meeting with a handful of people to form a ‘national Action Group’.

Over the years, Erickson had bloody-minded disagreements with J.T., but always did what suited himself and his ego. He has been up and down like a yo-yo. In latter years he pre-empted any discussion with JT and set-up the National Alliance, which was left to fizzle out. After that it was the BPP (British People’s Party) which he abandoned. I, and Richard Edmonds, have never abused people in the NF. Though we have had our differences of opinions, especially tactics, we have always treated people in the NF as nationalist friends. And, for your information, E.E., I wrote a letter to Mr. N. Griffin, telling him not to abuse the NF. It would suffice to say that we are two different parties. As for defeatists, you are talking about people who are just the opposite.

Too many leading individuals in the NF are prima donnas, who blow hot and cold with their emotions – they do not think realistically or practically.

To end, I have to say that R.E. is the most honest, honourable and dedicated person that I have known in British nationalism and is very respected by many others. All he wanted to do is guide the party and members in the right traditional direction. He is not into conspiracies, nor back-stabbing. What you see and hear from RE is the truth. I write this in sorrow as much as in anger.

I had thought better of you EE.

Valerie Tyndall
