Tom Holmes (politician)

Thomas Frank Holmes (born 1931) was the chairman of the far-right British political party, the National Front and a long-standing member of the movement.^[1] He has been involved in nationalist politics since 1958.^[2]

Holmes is a strong supporter of European nationalism and has stated, "I have contacts with people all over Europe: Austria, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Serbia, but none of these are official contacts, we have unofficial contacts, yes, we support any European nationalist party."^[3] He has also been highly critical of the British National Party, claiming that it is no longer truly white nationalist and condemning it for having a Sikh columnist in the party's newspaper.
