	Britain's Conservative Party exposes its racist underbelly
		Townend cited favourably the notorious "rivers of blood" speech delivered in 1968 by Conservative politician Enoch Powell.
		Attempting to distance his party from such open race baiting, Hague condemned Townend's speech, though he stopped short of dismissing the backbench MP who is due to stand down at the next election.
		Townend would have been more accurate if he had said that, had he lived, Enoch Powell would now be leading the Conservative Party.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| Speech row Tory refuses to sign race pledge
		John Townend, the Conservative at the centre of a race row, is the only MP to have refused to sign a pledge sent to all UK politicians promising not to play the race card during the general election campaign.
		Mr Townend's speech, which is at the centre of today's row, was made at a constituency party meeting last month, accused immigrants of "seriously undermining" Britain's society and being behind an increase in crime.
		Mr Townend said that Mr Powell would have been made prime minister if people had known how accurate his forecast about the impact of immigration would turn out to be.

		John Townend said he was right to say that Britain's "homogeneous Anglo-Saxon society" had been "seriously undermined" by mass immigration.
		However, Mr Townend, 66, whose speech included a tribute to Enoch Powell, said that immigration "did change the character of Britain; nobody can deny that; it is a fact".
		In Leicester, which was identified by Mr Townend in his speech as a city where fls would soon be in a majority, Ross Willmott, the council leader, said the MP's speech would undermine race relations.

		Having tapped Townend on the knuckles, the editorial writer then defied logic by launching into a rant about the commission for racial equality for ensuring that politicians stick to their "duty".
		In fact, a report on Townend's speech was in the paper's first edition but was dumped in favour of a later story about the Tory defector to Labour, Ceri Evans.
		It's true that Townend's career, to borrow the Sun's winning phrase, "has been an utter failure", but the implications of his speech, not to mention Hague's repudiation of it, deserved proper coverage.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| John Townend denies he will speak out
		John Townend, the rightwing Tory MP who sparked the row over race, was given a second dressing down by the Conservative leadership yesterday after he allegedly pledged to break his silence when he stands down at the general election.
		Mr Townend's denial was undermined last night when it emerged that he - rather than his "friends" - told a second newspaper yesterday that he was planning to speak out after the election.
		The confusion over Mr Townend's views came as Mr Hague faced pressure to de-select a Conservative general election candidate who warned of "the dangers posed by large scale immigration".

	Pravda.RU UK: Euro badly received
		John Townend, the bank of England’s Director of the Department for Europe, stated that the UK would face great risks in the convergence policy towards the Euro.
		This, according to John Townend, would be extremely risky because the exact figures needed to assure a “genuine sustainable convergence” would be extremely difficult to calculate since they would be eternally open to question.
		Townend claims, since the GBP is “clearly overvalued”, “genuine sustainable convergence…would be bound to put strong pressure on UK inflation”.

		In a last-minute effort to end the row, Mr Hague issued a blunt final warning to John Townend, the right-wing MP who last week accused Labour of regarding the British as a "mongrel race".
		I will not be driven by Labour's politically correct agenda that does not want to address their chaotic asylum policies, but nor will I allow John Townend's offensive remarks to be mistaken for those of the Conservative Party.
		Today I spoke to John Townend and told him that unless he was prepared to apologise for his ill-chosen words, withdraw them, undertake not to repeat them and accept that racism has no place in the Conservative party, then he could not remain a member of the Conservative party.

		Lord Taylor renewed his criticism of the party leader for failing to withdraw the whip from Mr Townend, who suggested last week that Britons were becoming a "mongrel race" because of lax asylum laws.
		He said: "It would be ironic, wouldn't it, if I were thrown out while John Townend remained in the party?" The apparent threat to discipline the peer was rapidly withdrawn, however, as it threatened to turn into a major row.
		He can't deal with his own MPs and it is weasel words to say John Townend should not be thrown out now because he is standing down at the next election." The peer also "fully" backed Bill Morris, the fl trade union leader, in his scathing condemnation of the Tory leader's inaction against Mr Townend.

	In memory of Andy Townend
		News of the tragic death of Andy Townend at the age of 46, after a short illness, shocked the British bluegrass community in the summer of 1998.
		Chris's reaction to the EMB was similar to my own a few years previously when I had turned out on a wet and windy evening in Cambridge to hear this, to me unknown, bluegrass group.
		Not only was the Townend mandolin to the fore, but the duo did some wonderful harmony singing, with Andy’s tenor voice prominent, in the style of the Delmore, Louvin and McReynolds Brothers.

		Townend made a speech in which he paid tribute to the prescience of Enoch Powell, spoke of the immigrant role in rising crime and said that immigration had brought about vast changes in Britain which nobody could deny - changes, which the tone of his speech made quite clear, were not for the better.
		William Hague, reacting like one of Pavlov's dogs to the ringing of a bell, leapt to distance himself from Mr Townend's comments, saying that they were "totally unacceptable" and that they were in conflict with the compact, which he had signed under pressure, from the CRE.
