Jonathan David Anthony Bowden (12 April 1962 – 29 March 2012)[1] was an English far-right activist, orator, and writer.

In 1984, he completed one year of a Bachelor of Arts history degree course at Birkbeck College, London University, as a mature student, but left without graduating.

[11] Bowden then joined the Freedom Party, for which he was treasurer for a short time,[12] and subsequently was a member of the Bloomsbury Forum, alongside Adrian Davies.

He was appointed Cultural Officer, a position that was created by Nick Griffin – the party's leader at the time – to give Bowden an official role.

Although he gave speeches throughout England at local meetings for the BNP, he never re-joined the party, and cut all ties after the 2010 general election.

[14] The New Right Committee, or simply "New Right", was a United Kingdom-based pan-European nationalist, far-right think tank founded by Bowden and Troy Southgate.

Groups page: "We are opposed to liberalism, democracy and egalitarianism and fight to restore the eternal values and principles that have become submerged beneath the corrosive tsunami of the modern world.

[3] Bowden believed that some hierarchies are good for society, that "liberalism is moral syphilis" and that native Europeans are justified in asserting their cultural, ethnic, psychological, and spiritual hegemony over Europe.
