Richard Verrall (political writer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Richard Verrall
Richard Verrall (born 1948) is a former deputy chairman of the British National Front (NF) who edited the magazine ''Spearhead'' from 1976 to 1980. Under the ''nom de plume'' of Richard E. Harwood, Verrall wrote the pamphlet ''Did Six Million Really Die?'' ==National Front career== Verrall studied history at Westfield College, now part of Queen Mary, University of London, obtaining a first class honours degree.〔S. Taylor, ''The National Front in English Politics'', London: Macmillan, 1982, p. 62〕 Initially a member of the Conservative Party, Verrall left in the early 1970s, along with a number of members on the right who supported Enoch Powell, to join the NF.〔 Initially a close supporter of John Tyndall, he was appointed ''Spearhead'' editor by Tyndall and used the magazine to discuss the veracity of the Holocaust.〔 He was also known for his endorsement of eugenics and biological determinism, adding to this theory that it was equally natural for members of a genetic group to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others of the same group, thus attacking the criticism that the notion of sacrifice makes this theory inapplicable to humanity.〔S. Taylor, ''The National Front in English Politics'', London: Macmillan, 1982, pp. 63–64〕 Despite his initial support for Tyndall, Verrall did not follow him into the New National Front and indeed was appointed deputy chairman of the NF by Andrew Brons in 1980.〔S. Taylor, ''The National Front in English Politics'', London: Macmillan, 1982, p. 91〕 Although appointed to this role Verrall, played little further role in the politics of the NF and was aloof from the struggle between the Official National Front and the Flag Group. Instead, he concentrated most of his efforts on writing about the Holocaust.
