[2][3] She changed her name to Jane while working in the BBC Gramophone Library in order to avoid confusion with Joan Graham, a radio actress of the time.
[1] During the war she worked for the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA), originally in Brussels and then in the early post-war period in Hamburg.
As most immigrants do not and cannot speak proper English, as their uncouth cultures are totally alien to the green pastures of England, as their eating and hygiene habits are so different from ours, there's bound to be strife.
[1][10] In this role, she attempted to launch a number of prosecutions against productions and writers that offended her sense of taste, including the producers of the theatrical revue Oh!
[2] Lady Birdwood became involved in campaigns against trade unions, setting up the Citizens Mutual Protection Society in the early 1970s, which launched a failed attempt to run a private postal service.
She took a leading role in several far-right pressure groups, including the Immigration Control Association, Common Cause, the British League of Rights (of which she was General Secretary) and Self Help, the latter attempting, unsuccessfully, to charge Arthur Scargill with sedition.
[12] She also worked with Ross McWhirter at this time on his magazine Majority, and became a vocal critic of the Provisional Irish Republican Army after his murder in 1975.
[14] In 1975, Phyllis Bowman, president of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children was embarrassed when Birdwood joined in as a plaintiff in an anti-abortion legal challenge she had launched under the grounds that Britain was taking in too many immigrants and abortion was reducing the number of white infants being born.
[17] It was observed there was a close stylistic resemblance between the pamphlets of the National Front and the articles in Choice, leading to suspicions that both were being written by the same people.
[18] In 1988, she founded the English Solidarity Against Multi-Racialism group that worked with the British National Party in its efforts to protect the "Christian way of life".
[19] The group, which was closely linked with another of Birdwood's creations, the Gentile Self-Defense League, in efforts to stop non-white and non-Christian immigration to the United Kingdom.
In her 1991 pamphlet The Longest Hatred: An Examination of Anti-Gentilism, Birdwood wrote:"Against the clear wishes of the indigenous British people and in a manner which can only be described as treasonable, an estimated 10 million racially unassimilable aliens have been brought into our already overcrowded island.
To ensure that the planned destruction of our nation is total and permanent the Bankers have determined that our unique Anglo-Saxon-Celtic people must be obliterated as a distinct ethnic group by means of forced race mixing with hordes of Blacks, Browns and Yellows who are being deliberately brought into our country for this purpose.
[22] She also accused the Talmud of sanctifying child molestation, human sacrifice and cannibalism, claiming that Jewish rituals required the sexual abuse, killing and eating of Christian children.
She claimed that the Talmud was guilty of "incitements to hatred of gentiles and Christians in particular", and asked the rhetorical question: "Could these awful texts have prompted the child murders?
"[22] Finally, she claimed that Jews still engage in the killing and eating of Christian children, complaining that the attorney-general had failed to act on her complaints.
[22] In March 1994, Birdwood was prosecuted for violating the Public Order Act 1986 by re-publishing her pamphlet The Longest Hatred, which denied the Holocaust and claimed the existence of a subversive conspiracy in Britain involving Jewish bankers.
After her retirement, most of these concerns passed into the hands of her associates, the former National Front co-leader Martin Webster and Peter Marriner, also a former British Movement activist.
