Here are a few facts about the moderate Mr Harvey
Springbok Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote:
From its inception, the prime mover of the Springbok Club has been Alan Harvey, a former National Front activist, and the Springbok Club has frequently been linked with Far-Right Extremism.
In July 2001 the website of the ultra-Right wing, White Supremacist Nationalist Movement of the United States made the following claims: [26]
Harvey pushes empire for repatriation outlet
Former South African terms aliens "dangerous"
LONDON - Alan Harvey says that he is working to restore the British Empire. And his Springbok Club is his vehicle. "Re-establishment of a British colony -- any colony -- would make it infinitely easier to remove the dangerously large number of aliens from the UK," he said. Harvey, who escaped South Africa, says he regards Nationalists as "my best contacts in America, who I urge to support the plan."
All the Way showcases white supremacists such as Alan Harvey, Steve McDonald, Bob Grant, Ken Hamblin, Tavis Smiley, Richard French, James Meredith, Jim Hood, Hal Turner and, perhaps most controversially, Edgar Ray Killen. It bills itself as "the longest-running continually published nationalist newspaper."
An active member of the Springbok Club was Bill Binding, who was deputy head of the British Ku Klux Klan. In 1997, Binding stood as a BNP parliamentary candidate in Dagenham, east London. At his death in November 2007 Binding was described on the official Springbok Club website as "a former dedicated ExCo member of the Springbok Club/ELC" [27]
The Springbok Club has repeatedly described Nelson Mandela as a "terrorist". The Club's official website states:-
"President P.W. Botha told Mandela way back in 1985, that he could be a free man as long as he did one thing: Publicly renounce violence. Mandela refused. That is why Mandela remained in prison until the appeaser F.W. de Klerk freed him unconditionally. The bottom line is that Nelson Mandela never publicly renounced violence - and we should never forget that."
The website praises a poster captioned "Hang Nelson Mandela" as:-
"Poster distributed by the Federation of Conservative Students (the official Conservative Party student organisation) in Britain during the early 1980s, clearly illustrating that people overseas were more aware of the evil nature of Mandela and his fellow ANC terrorists than most people in South Africa were."
