 The Practical Arts in Irish Culture
Now consider John Tyndall (1820-1893)(3), whose route from his Carlow origin to the Royal Institution in London led via the Ordnance Survey in Ireland, the railway boom in England, a spell at teaching in a school with Quaker and Owenite background, and the University of Marburg in Germany (with Bunsen).
Within science, he is remembered for the Tyndall effect (which explains why the sky is blue), for 'Tyndallisation' (which is what Pasteurisation is known as in France), for infra-red spectro-photometry and numerous other contributions to basic instrumentation.

 Paint It Black
John Bean, as his autobiography modestly but unarguably affirms, played no small role in trying to awaken the British public to oppose effectively what was happening to them, mostly against their will.
John Bean actually showed himself in Southall in the Sixties that such populations could be rallied to vote in defence of their own areas.
Which said and did all that John Bean suggested be said and done, to such effect that it did what the NF never in all its history managed, namely actually winning any sort of election: two seats on Blackburn Council in May 1976, to be precise.

 Enoch Powell
John Enoch Powell (June 16, 1912 - February 8, 1998) was a controversial British politician, the controversy mainly stemming (with some irony) from a speech he made on immigration in 1968.

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.
The second fact is that virtually every mainstream party politician without exception, is interested in this race issue essentially from the standpoint of whether it will help or hinder his or her chances in the election and help or hinder the political career of which the election is part.
Such concern is the very last thing that a party politician permits to intrude upon decisions, as to what to say or do.

The important thing is that British politicians can continue to "feel good," to look the 'international community' in the eye and proudly assert that Britain is doing her bit for freedom and democracy, wherever they may be under threat.
