Jacob Rees-Mogg, M.P., was the guest-of-honour at the Traditional Britain Group’s packed Annual Dinner on Friday 17th May 2013, held at London’s prestigious East India Club. Also present was Lord Kilclooney of Armagh, possibly better known to many as John Taylor, former Ulster Unionist M.P., and Monday Club member, who said Grace and also spoke briefly. This dinner was the climax of another successful year for the TBG and commenced with a drinks Reception, a convivial occasion.
In his speech, and subsequent answers to questions from the attendees, Mr. Rees-Mogg expressed his disappointment with the EU, with his party’s attempts to redefine marriage and with abortion-on-demand, but toed the Party line on other matters. Gregory Lauder-Frost, our Vice-President, presided and thanked Mr.Rees-Mogg on behalf of the TBG presenting him with a gift from us.
The following day we held our Annual General Meeting, also packed, which was addressed by Christopher Gillibrand on matters of tradition within The Church and in politics.

The Northern Launch - Traditional Britain Group - Christopher Gill speaks
The Traditional Britain Group is very pleased to announce that it will be launching its Northern group on the evening of the 9th November near Warrington. Christopher Gill, a member of UKIP's National Executive Committee and the current President of The Freedom Association will be speaking as our guest of honour.
After building up a considerable database of supporters based in the regions we feel it is time to take our local activity to the next stage. If a radical traditional conservative revival is to ever take place it is vital we have the strong foundations of local groups that will work with other like minded organisations to campaign on local issues - as well as lending support to national activity. This 'long march' strategy is how the left have managed to embed themselves in every institution and community, locally and nationally, across the country - and we have to work hard to combat this, and do the same. If you are interested in getting involved with the Traditional Britain Group in the North - or even wish to help co-ordinate a group more locally yourself - please do consider attending this meeting where you can network with and get in touch with like minded people in your area.
If you wish to find out more, including venue details, please RSVP on our Facebook event or email info@traditionalbritain.org. All are welcome, including supporters of the Traditional Britain Group and The Freedom Association.

About the Traditional Britain Group:
Since World War II, serious assaults on our culture, heritage, constitution and institutions have gathered apace, leaving many dismayed and eager for change. Political correctness and enforced multiculturalism have watered down our rich national character and have forced honest and intelligent people to hide their true feelings for fear of reprisals.
Today liberal-left ideas are all pervasive, whilst the Conservative Party has failed to defend or preserve anything conservative or traditional. The organic and intrinsic, social, spiritual, legal and economic institutions of the British have been undermined and destroyed in the name of vague promises of equality and prosperity, whilst a transnational ideological, managerial and corporate elite dominate Europe with little accountability. The vacuum that remains has been filled by little more than blind consumerism, broken communities and socio-economic, environmental, spiritual and moral decline.
Infused with a new generation of enthusiastic and passionate activists, the Traditional Britain Group offers a focal point to promote ideas, discussion, networking, education and traditionalist action. We seek to provide to a home to the disillusioned patriot, and through traditional and modern media, we aim to bring together a broad alliance of those who desire a genuine, radical, conservative alternative
With courage, pride and determination, the Traditional Britain Group says, ‘No more! The ancient traditions, peoples and beliefs of these isles are worth preserving. There is an alternative for Britain. The fight back begins now!’
About The Quarterly Review:
The Quarterly Review contains a mixture of in-depth political essays on all the most important and controversial subjects, written by leading intellectuals and opinion-formers.
Our writers have included leading academics and public figures as well as a range of new writers, including Taki and Roy Kerridge.
The Editor is Derek Turner, the Deputy Editor is Dr Leslie Jones, the American Editor is Mark G. Brennan and the Australian editor is Edwin Dyga. The Managing Editor is Luise Hemmer Pihl. There are also regular features on music, film, classic books and poetry, plus rare articles from the QR archives.
The aims of the revived QR are the same as that of its famous forebear – to provide counter-intuitive writing for people who like to think.
Venue:
The conference will be held in a venue in central London easily accessible by public transport (within zone 1 of the underground). Venue details will be given to ticket holders nearer the time of the conference.

We are very interested to hear your suggestions regarding speakers, discussion topics and themes. Please email info@traditionalbritain.org. We are also interested in any organisations that wish to support the conference – and possibly have a presence at the conference.

Stuart Millson - "Britain: nation or shopping mall?"
Stuart Millson spoke in central London to The Traditional Britain Group in March 2011.
'Britain: nation or shopping mall?'
Stuart Millson proposes that traditional conservatives can make a difference through local activism.
Bland, out-of-touch career politicians; a globalised market eradicating nations, local traditions and identity; a free-market and private sector imbued with the "values" of political-correctness. Are we facing the abyss, or can we rescue Britain? Stuart Millson discusses the state of the nation.
