As a student at Cambridge, Jordan had formed a "Nationalist Club", from where he was invited to join the short-lived British Peoples Party, a group of former British Union of Fascists members led by the Duke of Bedford. Jordan soon became associated with Arnold Leese and was left a property in Leese's will, which became the base of operations when Jordan launched the White Defence League. Jordan would later merge this party with the National Labour Party to form the British National Party, although he would split from this after a quarrel with John Bean, who felt that Jordan's open nazism was a bar to progress.
As a result he founded the National Socialist Movement ( 1962, later becoming the British Movement in 1968) along with John TyndallThis article is about the 19th century scientist. For the 20th century British politician of the same name, see John Tyndall (politician). John Tyndall ( August 2, 1820 December 4, 1893), Irish natural philosopher, was born in Co. Carlow, Ireland, his fat and was involved in attempts to set up a paramilitary group Spearhead. Tyndall split with Jordan in 1964 to form the Greater Britain MovementThe Greater Britain Movement was a political group formed by John Tyndall in 1964 after he split from Colin Jordan's National Socialist Movement. The reasons for the split are debatable although it is often claimed that it was caused by the marriage of Jo after Jordan married Francoise Dior, a perfume heiress and former fiancee of Tyndall. By the mid 1970s Jordan had been forced out of the British Movement and began to devote his energies to the World Union of National Socialists ( WUNS ).
Jordan remains a voice on the British extreme right, although he is no longer affiliated to one party.
