I may be a bit late in this, but I've just noticed that Colin Jordan has died. The faintly comical and not very impressive British Nazi has died at the age of 85.Two things from the Daily Telegraph's obituary (yes, even prize nutters get one!) that caught my eye.
First, Denis Healey, whilst speaking at the Leyton by-election of 1965, landed a heavy punch on the fascist, knocking Jordan off the stage and sending him crashing into a watching journalist, breaking the reporter's spectacles. Nice one, Denis!
Second, Jordan's image suffered a severe knock in 1975 when he was fined for stealing three pairs of red women's knickers from a Tesco store in Leamington Spa. The very thought of it. A nazi in a store started by a son of Jewish immigrants.
